Pork Soup with Eggs
January 28th, 2019 in Hot Soups, Soups by Julia Volhina
Recipe for a soup, quick to prepare as it doesn’t require additional time to cook a broth and it also calls for a limited amount of ingredients, yet it is pretty delicious.
It is pretty filling, with all the meat and eggs, and also warming up and I think it is a perfect winter time meal.
And also great choice for the times when you are short on time.
Something simple to start a new year with.
Spinach Cheese Dip
September 8th, 2018 in Appetizers & Snacks, Sauces & Dips & Spreads by Julia Volhina
One more recipe to the lineup of appetizers using cream cheese for me. This time it is for hot spinach cream cheese dip with parmesan and garlic.
Good choice if you are looking to increase the amount of leafy greens in your diet.
It is pretty easy to do and you can get a bowl full of goodness ready for your party or gathering literally in minutes.
Serve hot with tortilla chips or veggies.
Zucchini Rolls with Cream Cheese
August 11th, 2018 in Appetizers & Snacks by Julia Volhina
As zucchini season is in full swing I want to share a recipe for this amazing appetizer: zucchini rolls with cream cheese, garlic and fresh herbs stuffing.
I must say it is one of my favorite finger foods. I think I can eat the whole plate of these by myself.
Use mandoline to slice zucchini here, it will make life much easier and will speed process up a lot.
If you want to reduce oil intake – roasting zucchini in the oven in grilling skillet can be an option to.
Green Beans Fried with Breadcrumbs and Garlic
June 16th, 2018 in Sides by Julia Volhina
This is one of variations of traditional Ukrainian dish featuring green beans (“lopatky” or “лопатки”) fried with breadcrumbs and seasoned with garlic.
Green beans are pretty easy and quick to cook. The major trick for me is to not overcook them (I like beans crunchy, not too soft). So testing beans softness from time to time while simmering them is a key. Take them off the burner as soon as ready.
These taste the best when served straight from the skillet: warm and fragrant.
Chicken and Cabbage Patties
May 19th, 2018 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
Getting inventive with chicken patties: using cabbage instead of bread or breadcrumbs as filler.
I must say these are a hit: juicy and very tasty.
And so quick and easy to do, especially if you use ready to go minced chicken meat and food processor for cabbage and onion.
These patties taste great with potatoes or grains (I served these with boiled buckwheat), salads as well are great choice here.
Pasta with Asparagus and Parmesan
April 21st, 2018 in Main Dishes, No-meat, Pasta by Julia Volhina
Good recipe for no-meat linguine or fettuccine pasta.
Pretty quick to make, nothing sophisticated, plain and simple steps to follow, as quick as cooking pasta itself.
Secret chief’s secret: don’t overcook asparagus and don’t burn garlic, that is about it.
Great recipe when you are short on time and need to eat.
Cilantro Lime Shrimps
March 24th, 2018 in Appetizers & Snacks by Julia Volhina
Discovered this simple way to dress boiled shrimps while trying to recreate a similar one from Costco: marinate boiled shrimps in lime juice, spices and cilantro.
Of course the taste is not exactly the same as of Costco ones, but the list of ingredients is also much shorter.
These shrimps can be served on their own as appetizer or added to salads or tacos.
Using already cooked, peeled and deveined shrimps like I did will save a lot of time, if you want to cook and/or clean shrimps yourself, factor the time in for it.
