Baklava

Baklava is one of my favorite desserts. There is also something special to me about making baklava. I used the recipe from " The book of Greek cooking" by Lesley Mackley. Here is the recipe as I am not sure you can find it online. If you like baklava this is a pretty good recipe to use.

Spring rolls with Sauerkraut

This is another spring rolls recipe. I have invented it the other day and really liked it so I decided to share it here on Ma petite kuhinjica.

Ingredients:

1 pack of spring roll wrapper

1 small onion finely chopped

1 cup sauerkraut (try to use one with probiotics from Whole Foods or homemade one)

½ cup carrots (julienned)

¼ low sodium soy sauce

1teaspoon sugar

2 tbspoons lime juice

Pepper

Oil of your choice to fry the rolls (about 2 table spoons)

Scallions to garnish

Thai yellow curry with butternut squash

This is a type of the meal that I make when I have many vegetables around the kitchen and don't know exactly what to do with them... The good thing is that this dish keeps well for two days, so if you make more you can have it as a side dish and/or for a  lunch/dinner the following day. 

Moussaka with broccoli

Typically, moussaka=meat+potatoes+eggs. In this healthier version, only replace potatoes with boiled broccoli. 

Koh

I have just realized that this is the second time in a row that I'm posting a dessert which is best for a warm summer afternoon. I guess that means it's time for a tropical vacation! 

Koh is made often at my home, because it is quick and easy, it requires only milk and eggs, and is very refreshing. There is also something very soothing and comforting about this dessert. It contains cream of wheat, which for me always brings back childhood memories.
