One of my favorite dessert flavor combinations after chocolate and orange is chocolate and banana. Throw some peanut butter in there and it’s a party. Recently, as I was browsing through my dessert recipes, I came across one that I haven’t made in a very long time. It’s a simple […]
Kuglice are my go-to sweet treat when I need something quick but fast. Over the holidays I reverted back to some traditional dishes and had some leftover Žito or whole wheat berries/grains that I had prepared for Orthodox Christmas. While we love eating it just on its own with walnuts […]
Korpice are one of those cookies that you see often but never think twice about because they’re so common. When I was little, this was one of my favorite cookies. I remember having these on holidays and special occasions and now that I think about it, I faintly remember sometimes […]
There are a handful of recipes that I refer to as old school or starinske. Kokosove kiflice are one of them. They don’t require a complicated process and every batch is truly unique. Some call these coconut horseshoes or potkovice, which makes sense since they are more horseshoes than crescents […]

Spring has come and with it, the return of birds chirping, bees buzzing, and plenty of sunshine. Well, that all depends on where in the world you are I suppose. Nevertheless, in my neck of the woods, everything is waking up, plants and animals alike, including bees. So to celebrate […]
Here’s another sweet treat that has been around in my family for decades. A well-known vegan delicacy on all our vegan cookie platters, this was a treat we only ate a few times a year. After all vegan cookies weren’t exactly the most popular option when we were craving a […]
I’ll start off by saying this: I’m not a fan of posni kolači/vegan cookies. I like to use milk, eggs, and butter when I make sweets. And I especially love creamy desserts, preferably with fruit, that aren’t too sweet. But sometimes for certain holidays, we make posni kolači, and one […]
When I think of celebrations, I think of Princes Krofne. No, neither cake nor savory delicacies come to mind. There’s something about Princes Krofne that makes me so happy. Even when the person making them isn’t very experienced, they still come out beautiful. A tray of these will take any […]
