Finally, a baklava recipe! And while isn’t the traditional shape (coming soon I promise) it’s a quick way to make a great impression. These are super easy to put together, have the familiar taste of good old Baklava, and best of all they really do look beautiful when served. With […]
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 […]

Slatke Kiflice sa Dzemom or Jam Crescent Rolls are just one of those recipes that I associate with comfort food. They were always soft as a cloud, made with homemade plum jam, and dusted with copious amounts of powdered sugar. Sometimes, when grandma had some on hand, a packet of […]
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 […]
