Plum Pie

Hi there!:)

How is it going? Here it's extremely cold. I know talking about weather is dull, but right now I'm sitting in front of my desk in 2 sweaters, big socks and gloves! In September, inside the house... Crazy...

I have just rescued my cats from the heavy wind from outside. Sweet ones, they are sleeping near me right now. :) 

I baked this pie a week ago, when it was so shiny and warm that I could take this photo outside. 

 This was really tasty, my family ate the whole in 1 day. :D

 I made it with the plums from our tree, so it was extra home-made . :) I would recommend it to You as well, You should try it, with any fruits You like. :) 

Gulyás soup

Hello! I missed You so much. :) 

I was so busy these days, I couldn't reach my laptop to post the recipes... 

But it doesn't mean that I haven't done a thing. In the contrary! :D

I have at least 6 dishes to post to You. And Voilá! 

Here's my first main course post to this page, and to be loyal to our national tastes, I decided to start with the most famous soup of Hungary, the Gulyás. 

Yes, it's a spicy soup  with the Hungarian red paprika and it's not a stew. :) 

To reach the original taste we have to make it in a cauldron. We made this with a bunch of friends, it's so fun cooking together in the garden. :)

 The recipe is enough for  at least 12 people! :D 

light Swimming pool Cocktail

Hello Darlings! :)

Do You miss summer already? 

To bring it back, just a little bit more, I made You a summertime cocktail. :)

It's a lighter version of the Swimming pool cocktail, but as my friendship is not so alcoholic (thank's god :D ) we really liked this drink. A taste of pleasure! 

Cottage Cheese and Biscuit Balls

Hello! :) Do You like autumn?

The school has been started already. I remember I loved this time when I was in high school, that I could meet again with all my friends. :)

But for now, that I am working, it's not too different from summer, however, I do prefer this season. The nature is beautiful and we can dress up in great clothes, like I can wear my favourite leather jacket with my boots. :D 

And we can eat more sweets, haha. :D No more bikini style. So I brought You now some no-bake dessert. It's easy to make and great to taste! :) 

Layered Pancake CAKE

Hello! :) How are You?

 I was in a romantic mood these days. Fortunately I got 2 days holidays that I could enjoy with my Love.

I planned to cook him a dinner, with dessert as well. The menu would have been Spaghetti Bolognese and this Chocolaty Layered Pancake CAKE. 

However, my Honey put a really good movie on in the evening, and I couldn't leave it, so we watched it in the kitchen, while we made the dessert.

 After the film, a little too late for dinner, I cooked the spaghetti as well, while he prepared our romantic dinner table with candles... And guess what... He put on a video of fire in a fireplace on the big TV, so as it would seems like we had a real one. It was funny, and actually it did brought a cosy atmosphere, so if You would like to have fireplace for any occasion go on youtube and have it! :D 

Greengage Jam

Hello! :)

I have good news Everyone! (says always the professor in Futurama, Have You ever seen an episode? My friends and me loves it, it's so funny.) 

But at  the moment this is my good news. 

It's time for making a lot of jars of jams. :) And after that You can have cookies, donuts with delicious home made jams. And they are perfect as gifts as well. :)

These ones were made by yellow Greggages from the garden, they are like small yellow plums. I flavored it with a pinch of gingerbread spice.

Chocolate Croissant

Hello Dears,

Tomorrow is the 20th of August, one of the biggest celebration in Hungary. 

The anniversary of the foundation of the country, so we will have great programs throughout the city. :) And at night there is a 30 minutes long firework show.  We have this every year, so if You would like to visit Hungary someday You can choose these times as well. 

But for now, I brought some home-made Chocolate Croissants. They are flavored with a pinch of cinnamon, so their fragrance was truly amazing when they came out of the oven. :) Try them! :)

3 layered ICE CREAM

Hello! :)

How are You? :) Right now It's so good.

 I'm just sitting in front of my window , that is fully open, enjoying the wind with the summertime weather on my off day from work.

 Actually, this is my first summer that I have to work through, so these free-days that I have seem to be even more valuable than before my school vacation times.

 And yes, I'm having this home-made ice cream as well, that cools my body, with all the 3 layers that it has. I made this some days ago, and left it in the freezer so we can enjoy it for a little time ahead. :) 

It's really so easy to make, You don't need to have ice-cream maker machines, not even fancy ingredients, so give it a try!

 And have Your home-made ice-cream in the summer! :) 

Plum Jam

Hi Dears! :)
Do You have a garden? We do have, and there's a plum tree in it with lots of bushes and flowers. But that's the only tree with fruits. And these times we have more than enough plums , completely bio, so it was time for me to make some jar of jams. :) 

I added some cinnamon to it, to enhance the flavor, and I should say that these are really tasty. If You have more fruits with You that You can eat by themselves, You should give it a try to make jam. You can do that in 30 minutes.

Lemon slices

Hello! :)

Have You realized that it's August already? Time flies too fast. 

If You haven't enjoyed summer yet this year, go ahead, go to a beach, explore a city, or relax for a moment with a good novel, to have some good memories.

 Or if You already did that, bake a cake like this, to make Your holiday sweeter. :) 

It's a crater kind of cake, it means that inside the sponge some tablespoons of  pudding can be found, that was spooned randomly to the batter.

 I have a chocolate crater cake recipe on this page as well, if You would like to see that. :) 

These one, the Lemon slices much more fit to summer. Enjoy!
