All you need for healthy fries from the oven is
some potatos (depending on how many fries you wanna cook)
egg whites
salt, greens if you like

Our family journey to the ostrich farm!

When you have a baby under 2 you hardly have much free time and opportunity to travel somewhere far away from your home. Especially if it's a cold winter behind your window. But anyway, fresh air is very useful for everyone and for the baby in particular.
It was a cold (-10°C) Saturday morning, January 19, when we decided to make a little family journey to the ostrich farm (Kozishche, Brest region, Belarus) in about 20 km from our town. This farm is the only one in Belarus, the greatest one in CIS and one of the largest one in Europe and was founded in 2003.
After putting warm clothes on and taking good expectations with ourselves we set out at 9.10 a.m.

Our road looked like this:

Spoons and glasses instead of weigher (how many grams are in a spoon?)

Sometimes reading a recipe i feel myself confused without knowing how many grams are in a spoon of flour, for instance. And yah, i found this picture very helpful, you might like it too.

I've translated a Russian variant of this image into an English one.

Pizza in 15 minutes. Quick cooking

If you've tried cooking pizza in due form you might know that it takes enough time: making dough, leave it for some time, forming a shape and cooking itself. It can take even more than an hour of your time. But, surely, someday you'd have a wish to eat pizza but no power to cook it that way and you'd rather say "No" for a ready pizza from a store. 

Then you'll definitely like this recipe: it's super simple, it takes about 30 minutes (slicing, making a dough and cooking itself) and (the main important part) it's really tasty! 

As for me, i like fast recipes and, besides, i wanted to check it out: "Is it like a real pizza?" You can use this recipe for breakfast, brunch or snack. And it sounds really good :)

4 tablespoons of mayonnaise

3 tablespoons of sour cream
