Angel Hair in Peanut Sauce

Angel Hair in Peanut Sauce

This has been one of my favorite dishes since I started learning how to cook. It’s easy and delicious. I have recipes that swap-in whole wheat pasta to try to be more “healthy” – the flavors usually don’t go! But this recipe was made with 

Blood Orange Side Salad

Blood Orange Side Salad

This salad is an Aggie original. You can pretty much put anything in a salad and the same goes for a vinaigrette, which is a lot easier to make than you think. I’ve made many variations of this salad often adding apples or making a 

Truffle Fish en Papillote

Truffle Fish en Papillote

This Aggie original is one of my favorite quick dinners. It’s not only quick and easy but also lean and health. And super tasty to boot!You can use any white fish for this including tilapia, basa, mahi mahi, swai etc. I tend to serve the 

Afghani Sweet Pumpkin (Kadu)

Afghani Sweet Pumpkin (Kadu)

I absolutely adore pumpkin. I can’t wait to put it into everything. This dish is amazing because it’s actually built mainly around the pumpkin. The pumpkin is the star, not just an addition to the meal. I also like this particular dish because it’s quick 

Watermelon Feta Salad

Watermelon Feta Salad

Big fan of watermelon and feta in the summer. But I do feel that it often needs a little something extra like blueberries and mint or basil. This salad is often shown as a “pizza” served on top of a watermelon wedge. It looks pretty,

Twarozek (Farmers Cheese Spread)

Twarozek is definitely a Polish breakfast staple. It’s great eaten on the side like a small salad or on top of bread like a thick spread. Farmers cheese can be scarce, so I often use cottage cheese instead, especially the small curd type. It also

Jajko w Szklance (Egg In a Cup)

This simple breakfast dish is solidly a staple of my childhood. It’s a delicious way to start the day! I’ve noticed that my American friends don’t really eat soft boiled eggs, which is a terrible shame. If you haven’t given it a try, this is 

Almond Pumpkin Bread

Almond Pumpkin Bread

It’s pumpkin season again! I don’t know what that means for you, but I go crazy trying all kinds of pumpkin anything. This pumpkin bread was one of said new pumpkin adventures. I’m not usually one for gluten-free or dairy-free cooking so I was very 

Zapiekanki

Zapiekanki

Zapiekanki are the quintessential Polish street food, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them at home. It’s kind of like a pizza, so kids and adults alike tend to love it. Just like pizza the toppings are completely up to you. I’m partial to 

Lazanki

Lazanki

This is one of my favorite rustic Polish dishes. It’s a hearty dinner that’s perfect for weekdays because it’s so quick and easy. It also makes great lunch leftovers. For some reason many Americans I know think that sauerkraut is eaten raw, but that’s actually
