Cheese pancakes for kids and adults!

Cottage cheese is a very useful product, it contains tons of calcium! It's recommended even for babies under 1 year and adults, of course, too!

But some kids don't like cottage cheese as it is. My son doesn't eat pure cottage cheese, so i add some fruit puree to it, then it tastes more sweet and attractive for him. And one more thing he likes is cheese pancakes! He just grabs them from the table and eats like cookies! :)

an egg

flour

sugar

Husband's late snack - vegetarian sandwich with Circassian cheese, tomato and herbs

Good day, my visitors! How are you doing?

It's a hot day today here, in Belarus! I, personally, don't wanna eat junk food at such a weather period and prefer to cook something light. My husband is going to come home later today, so i decided to prepare little snack for him, with brown bread, cheese, tomato and herbs, delicious, nutritious and light at the same time!

So, for husband's late snack you need

2 slices of brown bread

1 tomato

some dill and spring onions

a tablespoon of low fat mayo

2-3 slices of Circassian cheese

My veggie borsch - Easy vegetable soup

From the post with borsch recipe you might know that borsch is ukrainian soup with beet and good amount of meat. I have my variant of this soup, i call it veggie borsch. I think it's a good replacement for the summer period when you may not want to eat much because of the heat. Besides, i don't know why but my husband likes this variant more :)

For veggie borsch you need

a beet of medium size,

an onion

2 carrots of medium size

a pepper of medium size

6-8 potatos of medium size

some cabbage

Put the casserole with water on fire to boil it.

Clean and wash the potatos.

Then i used a food processor to grind vegetables (except cabbage and potatos) up but you may use grater, it's up to you. I used such a header (it's like a large grater, i think):

Some moments and we are done with vegetables!

Add vegetable oil (i use sunflower one) on a heated frying pan and place there grinded veggies. Fry on low heat for about 20-30 minutes, under a cover.

Cut the potatos into not large cubes and cabbage into not large slices, as well. When water in the casserole starts boiling, place them there, add seasonings and boil on low heat under the cover. I like to boil the cabbage instead of frying because it gives another taste, i love it!

Look at that! It looks so nice!

When potatos are almost ready add the pan contents to the casserole. Leave under the cover for boiling 2-3 minutes more and switch the heat off.

Serve with sour cream. Bon appetit!

1 glass of sugar

150 g of butter

Then little by little add milk to get the mass that can be easily molded. Make balls or other shapes out of your mass. Decorate it how your imagination suggests you!

Let it cool down completely or put into the fridge for some hours (then it'll be even more tasty!).

I've made candies with crushed halva inside and outside :) (see picture above).

My family is pleased :)

Best for eating with a cup of tea or milk!

Bon appetit!

P.S. Be attentive: these candies are very nutritios 'cause of flour!
