    Cheese Lasgna

    April 23, 2013

    This cheese lasagna is really easy to make and hard to stop eating. Last year I made it with milk and Gluten substitutes, and to my surprise it turned out excpetionally well, so I am including those substitutes. You can also replace the milk and cheese with goat or sheeps’ milk products.

When I visited her, she told me how she makes Couscous from ground rice! She even gave me her recipe. As I don’t like changing childhood…

    Tender Meatballs in Tomato Sauce with String Beans

    April 10, 2013

    These are the meatballs I ate as a child. My mom made them then, as she makes them now for her grand kids. Now, I know every family has its own version of meatballs in some form, and I may be biased, but I have never tasted meatballs nearly as good anywhere. Ingredients ½ kg (~1 pound) ground beef or turkey (red) 1 medium-sized onion (or ½ of a large one) 1 cup of parsley leaves 2 large eggs (room temperature) 1-2 tbsp breadcrumbs (I use Gluten-free flour (Tami)) Salt to taste (~½-1 tbsp) Frying oil Preparation In a food processor, finely chop onion and parsley.
