This Spring pie has been our family’s traditional Easter pie for the last few years. Today I feel like finally sharing a recipe. It’s one of those dishes that is simple and delicious but not super photogenic that’s why I haven’t posted this recipe earlier. Every time I make it though, I tell everyone about it cause it’s so good! So I thought, no need to play a perfectionist, let’s enjoy it together instead. Without further ado, below are the step by step pics and the recipe.

These delicious orange waffles were created as a result of a simple kitchen experiment.  They turned out so good that I made them 3 days in a row, one time even for dinner. Just as delicious as regular waffles, these are made with wholesome healthy ingredients so you can enjoy them totally guilt free. Farmer’s cheese (in Russian also known as tvorog) makes them extra delicious and nutritious by providing some protein. The smell of orange and vanilla with a hint of coconut will make your home smell so wonderful that it deserves special mention.

Today I wanted to share with you this quick homemade berry jam recipe inspired by one of the Blue Apron’s meals. You probably heard me talk about Blue Apron on my Instagram since I always have a bunch of free boxes to share with friends, I also mentioned it in this post.

The other day I was craving something sweet to go along with my pancakes and remembered about this jam. It’s really easy to make and I love how sweet and tart it is at the same time.  The original recipe is here. I just wanted to share these few delicious pics hence this post. I used what I had at home and substituted maple syrup for brown sugar and added some frozen blueberries.

Spinach crepes? You heard it right! Not only is it a great opportunity to have fun in the kitchen but it’s also an easy way to add some healthy greens into your meal. The concept is pretty simple: take spinach, add it to your favorite crepes/pancakes recipe, voila! End of this post. Just kidding:)

I will share the full recipe that I used to make those below. First off, spinach is a perfect green for this because it has very mild flavor on its own which totally disappears when mixed with other things in the recipe and you get to enjoy your favorite sweet breakfast with some extra benefits. Spinach is low in fat and even lower in cholesterol, it’s high in niacin and zinc, as well as protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, E and K, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese, the bottom line – it’s great for you.

The only way you still haven’t heard of green smoothies is if you live on the planet other than Earth.  To be fair, they don’t always turn out bright and green but as long as it has some leafy greens in it, it counts.
