Breakfast

Wakey wakey quark for breaky.

Paneer or cottage cheese would do just as well. Honey and walnuts can make any breakfast irresistible.

School Lunches

Looks like I finally cracked it! Cookie dough! Use it as cement to glue together as many goodies as you dare. I tried half a dozen recipes, with moderated success. They were all good, but never great. Biggest problem – too crumbly. Not a handy thing for kids during lunch break to go around the school with handful of bits of what was supposed to be a convenient snack. Out of desperation I tried to experiment with basic cookie dough. Result far exceeded my hopes.

Why not ready made? Control of cause. I can cut on sugar at least by half. Make a fruit&nut combination to cater for some fussy eaters. Warning! Not suitable for the fancy wrappings lovers.

Sunday Breakfast

Published October 31, 2011 | By Elena

Strange wishes overcome my common sense sometimes. I wanted to try my hand at Danish pastry for a while. Now when I did, the desire to improve my first experiment gives me an itch. One question though remains, who is going to eat my unsuccessful attempts if I give it another go.

… and some days are for cooking

That’s what a good rest does to me… Saturday I slept, Sunday I cooked with joy and ease . Feel rested and happy to start my Monday. Wish you all the same.
