Red Beet Soup with Mushroom Dumplings // Barszcz Czerwony i Uszka
đ LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmasđ DAY 9 A common soup made many different ways depending on where you live in Europe. In Polish? we call it BARSZCZ, say it with me guys! Baaaaa-rsh-ch. A very clean soup packed with layers of flavour and featuring a mighty, yet humble veg: beets. Barszcz was another staple [...]
Kopytka with Sautéed Mushrooms, Kielbasa and Shredded Sprouts // Polish Potato Dumplings
â LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmasâ DAY 8 So story time: the plan was to make Babcia's pierogi this year. I set my mind to it at the beginning of November when I started thinking of what recipes I wanted to post this year for my 12 Days of LG,BE and pierogi were at the [...]
Seared Scallops with Brown Butter
đ LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmasđ DAY 4 Last year for 12 Days of LG,BE, I sprinkled in a few different fancy schmancy proteins since it is after all the holidays...but also because I just love trying new seafood dishes and this one has become very popular for me at home as of late. We [...]
Potato, Gruyere & Thyme Tart
đ LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmasđ DAY 3 Does anybody else get super excited when they see something with puff pastry? Or is that just me? Puff pastry makes me think of fine-dining restaurants or super chic brunches with the girls. It adds an element of sophistication and really is not too hard of a product [...]

Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad
If you've never grilled a fruit before....I think you need to start this summer. Grilled fruit hits different -- it's a mixture of that char smoky flavour, paired with a naturally sweet bite, and to throw in an even different flavour profile ... throw a little sea salt in there too. *chef's kiss* and if [...]
Homemade Caesar Dressing
I know it's easier to just buy Caesar dressing but my goodness, this version from scratch tastes noooothing like store-bought, and it really doesn't take that much effort to make either. Highly recommend as a dressing, but also works as a french fry dip, or a sandwich spread (omg, just thought of that and died [...]
Tomato Flatbread
During the winter, I couldn't care less about using fresh tomatoes in cooking. But the second the sun starts to shine a little brighter and the produce starts to look 1000x better than it did in November, I always gravitate towards tomatoes. And the funny thing is, tomatoes aren't even in season yet! But after [...]
