Butterflied Grilled U12 Shrimp
If you are not familiar with U12 shrimp, it’s a size of shrimp, meaning that in 1 pound will be under 12 shrimps. It’s very large and juicy shrimp. What’s the biggest shrimp size? Extra colossal shrimp is the largest size available in seafood markets with counts as large as 5 shrimp per pound. However, there are Asian tiger shrimp that weigh 7-11 ounces each with a count of just 1-2 per pound. I have made with smaller (size 16-20) shrimp, works just perfect.
Quinoa and Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Colorful, full of flavor and texture salad. Can be served hot, room temperature or cold. Either way it’s delicious! I served it as a side dish with a pan seared cod, but if you would like, you can make it vegetarian dinner. Quinoa and all the vegetables make a full nutritious meal.

Michael’s Sandwich | Must try it!
If you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, this is absolutely for you! Since I shared my “Sweet Zivile” Habanero Pepper Jelly with our friend Michael to try, he was putting it literally on anything, grilled chicken etc., even on ice cream! I know, sounds crazy, I didn’t try this variation yet, but I will. I tried the sandwich and I can say it’s really interesting! I love it! Here is the recipe of Michael’s version of peanut butter sandwich:
Lithuanian Cold Beet Summer Soup | Šaltibarščiai
This soup is very popular in Easter Europe. Every country adjust it by it’s own taste. I grew up in Žemaitija (Samogitija, the region in Lithuania, close to Latvia border), so my Cold Summer Soup is influenced by Latvia. It is very refreshing dish, light and super easy to make. Let me share with you my version of Šaltibarščiai.
Chicken and Mushroom Turnovers
When we travel, I always like to grab some homemade food, place in a cooler and have it rather than stop for a pathetic burger on the road. It takes only 20-30 min to prepare and you can make filling a day before and just fill up puff pastry pockets and shovel in the oven and you are done! These turnovers are great for any day snack, travel, park, school or work lunch or casual parties. Let’s get started!

Lebanese Falafel
This is my failproof recipe for gorgeous and delicious Lebanese falafel. I absolutely love Lebanese food and falafel is my vegetarian dish which I crave all the time. It looks intimidating but it’s actually very easy and quick meal, only requires preparation the night before, to soak the garbanzo beans. Or you can do all the preparation work way in advance, except add the baking powder only right before cooking, and keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
