Ala bala portocala...

Ingrediente
1 ceapa
1/2 ardei rosu sau o lg pasta de ardei
2 carnati tip cabanos
2 conserve mazare
aprox 1 ceasca de bulion
2 lg faina
1 lg smantana
patrunjel tocat
marar tocat
sare(si/sau vegeta)si piper dupa gust


Intr-o tigaie prajiti ceapa in 3 lg ulei la foc mediu. Adaugati pasta de ardei sau ardeiul tocat marunt si prajiti inca 2 minute. Taiati carnatul si puneti-l la prajit in tigaie pentru inca 3 minute.
Adaugati mazarea(impreuna cu apa de la conserva) si lasati pe foc pana incepe sa fiarba.
Intre timp, amestecati bulionul cu faina si 2 lg de apa(mie imi place sa adaug vreo 3-4 linguri de lapte in loc de apa, face mazarea mai dulce). Amestecati bine, sa nu se formeze cocoloase. Adaugati 1 polonic de lichid fierbinte de pe mazare si amestecati bine. Cand mazarea incepe sa fiarba, reduceti focul si adaugati amestecul de bulion cu faina. Amestecati repede. Daca e nevoie, mai adaugati apa sau ingroseala, dupa preferinte. Lasati sa fiarba la foc redus vreo 2 minute si apoi stingeti aragazul. Adaugati smantana si amestecati (e mai bine adaugata la vreo 3 minute dupa ce ati stins focul, altfel se va separa). Dupa gust, puneti sare, piper, marar si patrunjel.
Pofta buna.

Ingredients:
1 medium onion
1/2 red bell pepper
2 polish sausages
2 cans(15 oz. each) Sweet Peas
5 oz. Tomato Sauce(about 1/3 can)
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tbsp. sour cream

In a skillet, saute the chopped onions in 3 tbsp. oil for 2 minutes at medium heat. Add the chopped bell peppers and saute for another 2 minutes. Cut the polish sausage in bite size pieces and add it to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the cans of peas (along with the water) to the skillet, turn the heat to medium-high, and let it cook until it gets to a boil.
In the meantime, mix the tomato sauce with the flower and a couple of tablespoons of water. Mix it well. otherwise the flour will clump. Add some of the hot liquid from the skillet and mix well. When the peas are brought to a boil, reduce the heat and add the mixture of flour and tomato sauce. Stir in fast, to prevent clumping. If needed add more water, or more flour mixture, depending on the consistency you would like.Let it cook for about 2 minutes. Mix the sourcream with 2 tsp of water and add to the peas. Add salt and pepper to taste and the parsley and dill.
Enjoy!!!

3 oua
2 linguri zahar
4 linguri cu varf faina
1 cana lapte
1 lg unt topit


3 eggs
2 tbs sugar
4 heaping tbs flour
1 cup milk
1 tbsp melted butter


Se amesteca ouale intregi cu zaharul si untul topit. Se adauga faina si se amesteca bine, sa nu ramana cocoloase. Se dilueaza cu tot laptele.
Clatitele se coc pe foc mic spre mediu, ca sa nu se arda. Din cauza ca este zahar in coca, se prind mai usor de tigaie, si aveti nevoie de o tigaie buna, de care nu se leaga. Se pune cam o jumatate de polonic (se mai potrivesc cantitatile in functie de polonicul fiecaruia :) ). Se umplu cu ce doriti: fruncte si frisca, ciocolata, branza, dulceata de orice fel, zahar, etc. Se servesc calde.

Mix together the eggs, sugar and butter. Add flour and mix well, make sure it's smooth. Add the milk and stir well.
Have a good frying pan available, I use the Circulon ones because food doesn't stick to them. Because there is sugar in the mix, it will cook faster, so you have to pay attention to prevent them from getting burnt. I put about 1/4 cup in my pan, but depending on the size of your pan, you might need to adjust the quantities. For the filling you can choose whichever you prefer: fruit and whipping cream, chocolate, cheese(like feta), any type of jam or jelly, powdered sugar, etc. Serve them hot.

Am sarbatorit de curand ziua gazei mele. Si pentru ca o iubesc mult, mult, mult...i-am facut un tort buuuunnn de tot, si l-am ornat cu teme din desenul ei preferat: Tinkerbell.
Reteta la tort am gasit-o aici , cu mentiunea ca blatul a fost din pandispan, insiropat cu compot de cirese, si la crema am folosit fructe de padure(zmeura, mure, afine) in loc de cele mentionate in reteta originala. A fost foarte gustos.

Am gasit reteta pe internet, din nefericire nu imi aduc aminte unde, asa ca daca cineva stie, sa imi trimita linkul sa pot sa ii acord meritul.

1 branza brie
1 foaie de foietaj(aluat frantuzesc/aluat de haios)
4 lg dulceata de caise,macese
migdale taiate si prajite

Eu am folosit foietaj cumparat din magazin, si am folosit 2 foi, pentru ca am avut o roata de branza mai mare.Le-am lipit umezindu-le cu apa la "cusatura" si rulandu-le putin cu sucitorul. Am pus roata de branza la mijloc, dulceata pe deasupra si migdalele peste dulceata. Am strans apoi aluatul in jurul branzei si l-am legat cu ata de bucatarie. Am taiat aluatul care e in exces, si am uns cu ou. L-am pus in cuptorul incalzit dinainte la 230 grade Celsius,sau 435 Fahrenheit si l-am lasat 25 minute. Arata superb si are un gust extraordinar. A fost foarte laudat.

I found the recipe online, but I don't remember the link. If anyone recognizes the recipe, please leave me a message so I can give proper credit. Thanks
1 brie cheese
1 pckg puff pastry
1/4 cup apricot or rose hip jam
roasted sliced almonds


I bought a President's Brie Cheese from Costco, and since it's pretty big, i had to use the whole package of puff pastry. To unite the two sheets of pastry, i moistened the "seam" where I would put the two sheets together, and used the rolling pin to make sure they stick a little better, and to level the pastry sheets under where the cheese was supposed to sit. I placed the cheese in the middle (you're supposed to leave the rind on) and put the apricot preserve on top, and the almonds on top of the jam. I liked the flavor of the almonds, so I used as many as I wanted...I didn't follow the recipe for that one. Wrap the pastry around the brie, tie with kitchen string, cut out the excess pastry, and brush with an egg wash. Bake for 25 minutes in a 425 preheated oven. Enjoy. We LOVED it.
