The day I cooked these fantastic chicken wings will be remembered by my kids forever. Having found the recipe here I couldn’t wait to put it to use. Our family planned a picnic in a forest for the day, even sport games there were in our activities list. My children adore badminton and I was sure they would be playing it as much as they would be able to withstand running and jumping and I can’t say that my husband and me wouldn’t join playing. So we needed to have a good supply of food for such a long and eventful day. And I remembered that recipe of wings. It was interesting to try such an unusual way of cooking – shaking ingredients in bags is really new for my experience. Baking after that is much better than roasting of course. [/su_column] [/su_row] We had a lot of different snacks with us in the forest, but my family couldn’t stop eating chicken wings after sports. The wings were really perfect and now I am going to cook them for our family weekend at home. I am sure that this dish will remind us good time and inspire for another picnic.

I saw nothing except my workplace last half a year and I gave up, that is my body let me down and cold made me stay at home. My friends were too busy to visit me. It was awfully boring to be ill and I entertained myself by the internet. I like cooking, so I was looking through various recipes. Here was a nice surprise for me on http, where I got an idea for a small party.My dream is to go to some exotic island, but much work and illness at that time didn’t let my dream come true. So, the recipe of the cocktail in the internet inspired me to recover at home party, having made Pineapple Coolers.
[/su_column]
[/su_row]
The ingredients are not so exotic to avoid making it. The main ingredient is pineapple and I simply adore it. So, my friends were invited and I made that amazing drink for us. My company suggested that my beverage was non-alcoholic, because they felt pineapple and lime first of all and they were so surprised when I told about rum. This drink is very delicious and it is possible not to add rum, then your kids will enjoy it too.

It is not a great discovery that desire to eat gets stronger in cold season; it concerns men first of all. If you are the only female in the family, you can sleep in the kitchen but your men (like my husband and sons) seem to be hungry day-and-night. I am not a lazy-bone, but spending my leisure time in the kitchen is not my big dream. That is why, I always try to cook simple, but delicious and nutritious dishes to feed my men and keep them away from the table for a long time. It is very important on weekends when we stay at home. So, I find various interesting recipes and test them on my dear guys.The last recipe I got, it was on this one blog, let me sigh a relief. [/su_column] [/su_row] Potato baked with cheese can’t be bad – I was sure. I already had just cooked mashed potato and all I had to do – to add cheese, seasoning and bake. I can tell you that I wasn’t wrong, potato puffs were not bad, and they were excellent. My men got full, having eaten only half of the cooked puffs and they didn’t ask about food until dinner. It was my day.I hope that this recipe will help you to feed your family as it did help me.

Looking through Lecremedelacrumb, I definitely decided to cook baked potato. Make a relatively wholesome and absolutely simple alternative to usual French fries with this utterly amazing recipe for baked garlic parmesan potato wedges. These are roasted potatoes with tender and creamy insides and savory crispy outsides, that will remind you of regular French fries with this combo, and bring additional delight with extremely tasty garlicky aroma. Super simple and fast potatoes that only need a couple of ingredients and 40 min or so to be done will make a perfect side dish for a family dinner.

What is the snack for you that can’t ever bother you? As for me there is nothing in the world of snacks but nacho. My boyfriend goes crazy about them watching a football match at home; I like to crunch them watching a new movie. When I get together with my friends discussing a plan to have a picnic or something like that we always include purchase of nacho to the to-do list.I decided to try cooking such a favorite meal myself. Internet helped here.
[/su_column]

I wonder why I didn’t find the recipe earlier. Actually, there is nothing to do if you have crescent dough. Take the ingredients which you wish, put them on the dough, wrap and bake, following the instruction and you will get the best snack for yourself or your dear friends.I followed the recipe of nacho-crusted crescent dog. I vocabulary is not enough to tell about the impression from this snack. It is really marvelous to have with beer. It is great to have as a snack during the day. It is hard to overestimate the taste of this “hot dog”. You should try it!

Visiting this blog, I realized how you can quickly and easily prepare a culinary masterpiece. These turkey burgers will make a healthier replacement for usual beef or pork burgers you’ve probably got used to. The turkey meat is considered to be much wholesome, as it contains less fat, and if you think that turkey is tough and dry, here’s a right way to cook it! The turkey burgers made half of ground turkey meat, sun dried tomatoes and spinach are even more wholesome, and turn out extremely succulent and tender. Served atop of puffy bun with yoghurt sauce, red onions and cucumbers it’s so fresh and delicious, still super wholesome.[/su_column]

Once, cooking dinner for next day( that was Saturday) I was thinking about food, my relation to it, my skills in cooking and one question came to my mind. Why do we always have very simple food on our table? Very special, unusual dishes are for our guests only. We can have parties just for somebody who comes to visit us and my family has a right to taste yummy with guests only. I got upset. A moment later I put aside everything I prepared for cooking and went to explore our fridge. There were not so many products, but enough to use my imagination and let my family have a party without guests.In the fridge I found vegetables and meat. Isn’t it enough? Of course! But I couldn’t find any interesting ideas in my head. [/su_column] [/su_row] I could roast some beef and make a salad, but what is special in it? Then I remembered our family weekend hike to mountains. There was a small café were cuisine of some European country was served. We were delighted with cabbage rolls. They were so juicy with meat and rice inside. My guys asked me to cook them at home, but I absolutely forgot about it after returning home. Thanks God, the rolls came to my mind that evening. So, I took my laptop and found a recipe of these amazing rolls on this blog. How joyful I was, having cooked cabbage rolls, following that recipe. I got the very taste I remember from the mountain café! What about members of my family? They said,” You are a wizard!”. I am happy and inspired to cook festive dishes for them even every day!

Everybody complain about heat in summer, though we look forward to escaping winter cold weather. When it’s cold I put on warm clothes, have hot drink and dream about hot season. What is the problem in summer? I can’t see any, just do the same but on the opposite. Is it so bad to have less clothes on, move faster, be more active, having refreshing drinks? Even children know that liquid is extremely necessary for human body. My niece, she is 5, told me that the secret of beautiful shapes is in drinking much liquids. Can I disobey? So, the reasons to drink more in summer are obvious. Is it possible to refuse a glass of icy soda or lemonade when you have to do so much, but midday is still far?

One weekend, staying at home because of heat, I was thinking about night party. Whose idea was it to have fun when it’s hot even at night? It was mine! I had persuaded my friend to get together, having promised a lot of various drinks. It wasn’t about strong drinks – too hot. Classical lemonade was a must, but what else? I experimented with liquids, ice, fruit and berries. Later, searching the internet I found a recipe of raspberry lemonade on this food blog. “It is interesting “, I thought then. Ingredients are not unusual. I made this lemonade and in the evening I heard -“It’s awesome!” from my friends. The taste is just refined and refreshing. We are fans of this lemonade now. I even take a bottle of it to work.It is worth tasting!

Modern world lets modern women have rather little time to spend it in the kitchen. I’m hardly different from them – I dive in my work on Monday and find myself pretty tired on Friday with the only wish – to do nothing during two days. This is a dream of course. I have a restless family and they demand my attention and care. What can I do for them? We can walk in a park, go to watch a new movie in the cinema, but I know their biggest wish – mother’s pie. It can be sweet or not, but weekend without a pie is impossible.My pies are almost always different. Can you imagine that? My guys never asked me to bake the same one again. They appreciate my cooking much, but I can see a question in their eyes – “ What kind of pie will you bake next weekend?”. What should I do? [/su_column] [/su_row] It was time to find a new recipe and I did it fortunately – I found a recipe of classic Chicken Pot Pie here. What was the reaction of my family? You wouldn’t believe!
