Latvian thin Pancakes or Crêpes
February 9, 2018
Remember the post from yesterday!? Now here is the recipe I used to make Crêpes. This recipe is from my mom and is old as me so that is the reason why it’s in grams. Never converted to cups. Ilze
Crêpe or Thin Pancakes
February 8, 2018
In Latvian “plānās pankūkas” (thin pancakes) but most of the people know it as Crêpe. These are my favorite pancakes. I remember how mom used to bake them… rarely (maybe once a month, or so)! If she baked them every week it won’t be special! So, this morning I got up at 6am because of Helmī. … More Crêpe or Thin Pancakes
Mushroom Omelette
February 1, 2018
Thanks to our friend Aivar’s dad Aivars (Yes, they both are named Aivars) we have an opportunity to buy extra free range eggs! Also, we are lucky enough to have Janis Uncle that is also having free range chicken “farm” (about 10 chickens). Since Aivars (senior) started the “egg business” (I guess we are the only … More Mushroom Omelette
Banana and Honey Muffins
January 15, 2018
If you follow my blog on daily bases you know I didn’t like Banana bread or banana “something” until I’ve tried banana muffins! The result was so Yummy that I decide to repeat that recipe and take it to the next level – for me, it’s a bit healthier version :). I loved the aftertaste … More Banana and Honey Muffins
Omelette with Pumpkin
January 10, 2018
If you have leftover pumpkin puree you can make Omelette with pumpkin. It’s easy and requires fewer eggs than a regular omelet. Also, this omelette I like better than one made with fresh pumpkin. Love salty breakfast and Pumpkin Omelette isn’t exception :). Without further ado, recipe below! Ilze
Savoury Eggy Bread
December 8, 2017
Another breakfast simple savory breakfast food! This one even doesn’t need a recipe, but I will post it anyway. This is something my mom made for breakfast when bread got “hard”. We never wasted food (we can’t afford that!) and now I don’t waste food cause I thought well! That is how I grew up – … More Savoury Eggy Bread
Very Free Range
November 22, 2017
A few days ago we were visiting Janis uncle and talked about how easy/hard is to keep free range chickens for eggs. I know I’m not that type of person who can remember feed animals every day, and clean after them… As kids, we have rabbits at my grandmother’s house. Me and my brother we … More Very Free Range
Happy Chickens & Happy Kids
September 15, 2017
I enjoy living in the countryside. Yet we don’t have serious gardens or greenhouses or animals…. Even chickens! But still, we manage to eat good food! And by good food, I mean local food! And “very” local 20 kilometers around us! We are buying everyday food like cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, beans, … More Happy Chickens & Happy Kids
Cauliflower egg bake with cucumber salad
March 15, 2017
We like savory breakfast better than sweet. Only Sundays are sweet thanks to pancakes. And even on Sundays, we start with bread and cheese or something savory and then ends up with delicious pancakes. Today we had veggie breakfast: cauliflower egg bake with cucumber salad. Ilze
