3 favorite dishes to make at home
published by Ioana Serea on 27 September 27, 2021
One valuable thing that life has taught me, and I want to share it with you, is that, for our own good in the end, the most important thing is to adapt. We adapt to the times, situations, requirements, and so on.
I'm talking about that super known prince "When life gives you lemons, you make a lemonade!" 🙂
What do I want to talk about now, here? Well, the times we're living through, with the pandemic, the restrictions, and the inability to have access to things we like… specifically pizza, burgers and pretzels :))
Yes, I know you like them too, I know they are super delicious, and clearly it is easier to buy them ready-made, than to spend a few hours in the kitchen, and to risk not getting so tasty!
And yet, what do we do when we can't go to the pretzel shop next to the subway, or to the established pizzeria in the neighborhood, or to the new joint burger that's so lauded?!
We put on cooking!! :))
I personally would never have thought that I get to make these 3 dishes in the house, but, as life is full of surprises, I surprised myself pleasantly, and I made them!
They came out super good, more like the ones bought, that's why I want to tell you about them! 🙂
Pizza… Mmm… it's probably in the top of your preferences! And in pizza, after all, the key is the countertop. With a successful countertop, you can put on top of any ingredients you like, and you have thus obtained the perfect pizza!! I personally tested many recipes, many countertops, after all no mother (aka good) managed to give me a recipe to my taste, but in the end, I "proved" this dish too!! :)) I got the perfect pizza! Now that I have the key to success, the countertop, I can put on top of whatever I want, and ready pizza! The recipe that I tell you can be found here ! Save it to your favorites, and I'm waiting for you with feedback!
Burgers… the most trendy dish of our time! 🙂 They are very tasty, and they seem hard to match those bought in the city. There's a way to take it all for granted… buns, precooked meat, sauces, plus salad, onions, tomatoes, pickled cucumbers, or whatever you want to put in them, but guaranteed the taste will be medium to … unsatisfying… Siii, there is another option to do everything in the house. It's a bit of work, but it's worth it, the end result really is worth it! You can find the buns recipe here, the meat recipe here, so that everything is by the book I will leave you and the sweet onion recipe here, and I propose you to assemble it with lettuce or arugula, red onion rings, tomato slices, and fir or cheese. I guarantee you will get a delight!!
Pretzels… Yummy… are the most successful snack you can take to go, and that alluring smell from the covrogaria near the subway, you pass by, you would not say that you can equal it even in a thousand years! :)) Wrong! With the right recipe and ingredients, you can get some pretzels even more yummy than those! You can find their recipe here!
That being said, I wish you an increase in cooking and good appetite! I am waiting for you with feedback, and if you have some challenges for me, recipes to try, I would love to try them!
With love,
Joan
