It’s my take on a breakfast treat that my grandma (Babcia Zosia) was making for me when I was little. Since then, soft boiled eggs with a toast are my comfort food… Later on I discovered that she was making a simplified version of what is called ‘Vienna style eggs’. I know where I got

This is one of those easy, weekday dinners. When you come home tired and crave a warm, comforting meal, but at the same time you want it to be at least a bit healthy. It takes literally 10 minutes to do the sauce, so make sure to start with cooking the pasta, then both the

Don’t be mistaken that it’s a soup, it’s a dessert. A perfect dessert for a super hot day (which is what we were experiencing a lot recently). It’s super easy (1 ingredient is a must, 2 ingredients are recommended) and super healthy (no sugar added!). I remember the fruit soup I was served in kindergarten,

I recently discovered the fresh ricotta. It actually has nothing to do with the boxed ricotta I was used to so far. So now I am crazy about fresh ricotta and try it in different ways. But really, best is just fresh, with only a few things on top. This recipe is totally a free-style

A healthy, weekday dinner. Lots of superfoods, so should be good for you! You can replace the proposed vegetables with anything else you will find in your fridge, especially peppers, carrots or beans. You can also add freshly fried shrimp or chicken if you don’t care about it being vegan.
