It's fairly warm, summer season is almost here, but here in Scotland we still have some days with wind blowing like crazy and temperatures that you wouldn't like to see in summer time (like today - it shows 10ºC). On the days like this you might need something warming and cheering for dinner, and this … Continue reading beef shin (shank) stew (or soup)

keto lamb sloppy giuseppe
I have to admit, that I'm not a fan of lamb meat, but this lamb sloppy Giuseppe is fantastic! Tomato flavour covers this sheep-run aftertaste I do not enjoy, soft mozzarella cheese goes extremely well with delicate lamb. This dish has strong shakshuka vibe which I love! My partner loves lamb, so that's why I … Continue reading keto lamb sloppy giuseppe
deliciously nutty tart (and it’s keto friendly and gluten free option)
What do we have here today? Crunchy shortcrust pastry filled with, kind of weird consistency, sweet honey-egg substance, mixed with a whole bunch of nuts. What more could you want? Probably only strong, black, unsweetened coffee to break the taste 🙂That's again one of my old recipes, which I really like with my big love … Continue reading deliciously nutty tart (and it’s keto friendly and gluten free option)
oriental chicken with ginger and Chinese black mushrooms
Another oriental style chicken, that we've used to eat a lot is this one with ginger and Chinese black mushrooms. Although I know these mushrooms as "mun", but couldn't find this name in English. I found them as "Chinese black mushrooms", and I'm still not sure if it's the same as "shiitake mushrooms" because this … Continue reading oriental chicken with ginger and Chinese black mushrooms

I love simple one-pot meals, I can easily prepare on the busy days. And that's absolutely one of them.

honey & garlic oriental chicken
Couple years ago (or more than a couple maybe) we've had phase for Chinese food. We loved going to small oriental restaurants with kind of mix of Chinese, Thai and Korean food served in giant portions for reasonable money. At that time I was trying to mimic our favourite oriental meals, so we could enjoy … Continue reading honey & garlic oriental chicken
10 lessons learned from keto diet
First of all I have to mention that I'm not a booster of any diet. I have never been on any diet before keto, and I've always thought and I still do, that moderation and balance is the most healthy way of life. Everything is for people, but not everything serves to everyone. So in … Continue reading 10 lessons learned from keto diet
pearl barley & chicken meatballs soup
Couple years ago in a small bookstore in my hometown, I came across a beautifully published book with soup recipes. Over three hundred pages, hard cover, beautiful photos. I'm not a crazy fan of soups, but the book caught my eye, it was so beautifully published and I wished it would become a part of … Continue reading pearl barley & chicken meatballs soup
mushroom and onion tart
I'm a fan of onion in every form. Before keto, panini with caramelized onion and cheese was one of my guilty pleasures. I love the sweetness of onion fried with butter or grilled sprinkled with salt that balance the sweetness. The same with mushrooms fried with butter on high heat when they get golden brown … Continue reading mushroom and onion tart
