This is a little bit different Sloppy Joe recipe that the previous one. I usually make a big patch of this and freeze some of it so when I need a quick meal I just have to unfreeze it and warm it up. So get your Crockpot out and let us get cooking! This recipe…

Finnish Split Pea Soup in Crockpot
There is nothing more satisfying on a cold and snowy day than this soup.This is a true Nordic favorite. Every Thursday, Finns across the country (and many Scandinavians across the other Nordic countries) gather for a ritual of deep meaning – the ceremonial meal of pea soup with ham and pancakes with jam! In…
Creamy Pecorino Garlic and Chantarelle Pasta
Last school week started. My hands are full of work. Preparing for school ending party,doing teachers gifts etc. I bakes some oat strawberry cookies. Well hell..And managed to burn half of the patch in the baking process! As my hubby says: “Burned crispy bits are very important nutritional croup!” Kiddo’s teacher gets a bottle of…

Tomahawk Steak
I have a hubby who’s carnivore with capitol C! So today was his day when it comes to food. I went shopping to Mekur Market near Wels and they had aged Tomakawk cut steaks. For some reason it is very hard to find dry aged meat in Austria. Austrians are not yet familiar with what…
Lemony Asparagus Pasta and Parmesan Chicken

Mac & Cheese
Spring means for me busy time outside. Cleaning the garden and planting the things. Cursing voles and moles, and the damage they have done in my garden during the winter time. This also means that I do not have time for fancy and time consuming cooking,so I tend to do lots of soups and casaroles….
Avocado Pasta and Turmenic Spiced Shrimps

My neighbor brought little baby girl in the world this morning, and I am all exited for her, and anxious to see little Diana Katharina 😍 Excitement aside,family needed feeding! This is my favorite avocado…
Creamy Pepper Sauce for the Steak, the way that my Father used to make it!
I have grown up in the backroom of a restaurant. My earliest memories are; the smells of the food being cooked around me, the noice of kitchen machines, the laughter of the people. Yes, my father is a Chef. Big, burly and loud! Man equipped with big a heart, and extremely sharp tongue! He’s also…
Cashew Chicken (with Zoodels)
Asian foods,in all forms are one of my favourite things to cook. They are tasty,helthy and fast to cook, at least if you have done little preparations beforehand you start to cook. My intention was to serve this with zoodels,those curly noodels from zucchini, but due to me being idiot, I forgot to buy Zucchini….
Spinach Soup and Feta Börek
Spinach soup is one of my favorite soups. It is served in Finnish school as lunch,usually with some meat filled pierogi and hard-boiled egg. I have lots of vegetarian friends,and they ask very often from me recipes. So this time I converted this classical recipe into something new. I used soy milk instead of the normal milk…
