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.

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?
[/su_column]
[/su_row]
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!

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!

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.

Rice is a quite simple dish, until it’s not the spicy mushroom rice! This must be one of the best ways to cook the tastiest rice ever. Here is the reason for my decision to prepare this dish.
