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.

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.

Are you ready to learn a recipe of beautiful sweet batch? I was just amazed to find it here. It is a fantastic combination of charming look and sweet taste! Apple season, as I call autumn, I am looking for new ways of apple use in food. I make a lot of various tasty dishes – I bake, steam, even roast them. I even add apples in soup. Nobody complained about it! This fruit is good itself, but the smell of apple batch with cinnamon added charms everybody and all members of the family together around the tea table.What is the recipe I got and used in practice?
[/su_column]
[/su_row]
These are apple crescent roses. Doesn’t it sound beautiful? I thought so, having read the name too, but I also was persuaded that it is something difficult to cook. No! Absolutely! I like to bake with dough sheet, which I can buy at a store and spend no time for making it.
The main of this batch beauty are look and smell. It is simply magic to see these “roses” on a plate, going to have tea or coffee (or the drink you prefer) in the family circle. Then, next morning you will find your family members sitting in the kitchen “fighting” for the last piece of apple crescent rose. That happened to my children. I reconciled them – I promised to cook the same in the evening. And I did baked this dish again. My kids kissed me, eating freshly baked “roses”. It is so touching! The taste of this batch is “touching” too – no one will be indifferent to it.

What kind of garnish is preferred and the most expected by you? I can imagine a great deal of answers. Men, I am sure, would prefer potatoes, rice or pasta. Women would rather have some salad. I want to tell you about something in between, that is my favorite garnish – roasted vegetables. Hoping to find a new recipe of vegetable garnish for dinner on this website I added to my collection Oil free Rainbow Roasted Vegetables. This recipe is absolutely that what I needed. I love vegetables, I prefer healthy food and now I have both – absolutely healthy vegetables.Why is there this word “rainbow” in the name? The main – visible reason – you can see the beauty of colors, learning the list of ingredients and having cooked and tried a little, you will feel a wonderful vegetable rainbow of tastes. [/su_column] [/su_row] I think, they are selected for this dish, because their tastes are very different from nature and being got together we get something new. You can taste them, choosing different pieces of different vegetable or take some different vegetables at once and the taste will differ. Isn’t it a magic transformation in one dish? That’s why vegetable rainbow became my favorite garnish or main course, when I feel overweight. Hint!If you don’t want starve, but overweight hurts your thoughts, this dish is perfect to be main course. Its taste and colors will only please you eyes, taste buds and your stomach.

At last the hike and picnic time came! We got ready to hike to the countryside forest, where we can lay a carpet on the grass, have meal under a shadow of spreading branches of a very old tree (our favorite one). Oh, this magic time of doing nothing! Just chat, eat, drink, and take funny (sometimes stupid) pictures, evening horror stories by the fire and sleeping in tents. I will see the sun rise at last!I was inspired with thoughts about that hike, but I came back from my iridescent dreams to real life, when it was clear, that I will be a cook their. It can’t be changed at all. My child is too little to cook; my dear husband is too far from cooking. I was going to relax there, do nothing at all, but having fun. What was the way out? I could make a supply of cooked food. These had to be dishes that might be stored for a long or eaten on arrival. A lot of recipes I had for such a case. One of them I met here – Cucumber Bites( with herb cream cheese and tomatoes).
[/su_column]
[/su_row]
It’s rather for a party such a refined snack, but I decided to bring a piece of civilized world to our staying in the wild. We had favorite fruit and vegetables, cookies, bread and marshmallows for cooking on fire, pieces of cooked chicken of course. What happened to cucumber bites? They disappeared first! My husband devoured them so quickly … I tasted just one piece. So, my civilized world got lost and we absolutely dived in the wild.

Do you know what the filling is in the pies which Little Red Riding Hood was brining to her grandmother?I didn’t know, but I learnt it from my little daughter. One evening I was telling her this bedtime story and I was absolutely puzzled with the question. My daughter asked me about the fillings, because meat filling would change the whole story, if Little Red Riding Hood fed The Big Bad Wolf meat pies. I forced much to keep calm after such explanation. And my clever daughter concluded the pies had apple filling and fruit are not good for animals.That funny story gave an idea to cook apple pies, but they had to be special, just like daughter is. My long surfing the internet was awarded by a great recipe on this source. Apple pies with salted caramel – it is something of new wave in cookery. It was exactly that what I needed.
[/su_column]
[/su_row]
As I started making the dough, my child ran up to me said that she had the best mom, because I had guessed her dream about pies. I was inspired after these words even more than before. An hour past and we got these fantastic apple pies with salted caramel. The smell of them made my daughter rush to the kitchen to have the first pie herself. Her estimation and conclusion was following – Little Red Riding Hood couldn’t have had such pies, because even The Big Bad Wolf would have eaten my pies. What can I add? I am happy to cook for so grateful clients.
By the way, apple pies with salted caramel taste so exciting, that it’s hard to stop eating them, exactly like listening to fairy tales.
