A rainbow of tastes

Pumpkin Pie with a touch of spices Since I was a little girl, I’ve despised everything containing pumpkin. Every dessert or meal prepared using it, even the much loved sweetened honey oven-baked pumpkin which was prepared in the late autumn season or in the beginning of winter. The best thing about pumpkin is that it reminds me of Christmas (my favourite holiday ever).  Even as Christmas is over, I’ve decided to post a pumpkin pie receipt. But not the traditional one, the way my mother and grandmother was preparing it. I’ve decided to go the American way! And yes, this is the best way, as Americans excel when it comes to pies. So, I’ve done a bit of research on pinterest (the best place to find interesting recipes) and I’ve found an easy-to-make recipe that combines the sweetness of condensed milk with the natural sweetened pumpkin and spices. And, I must admit that the spices did their job enhancing the taste of the pumpkin beyond my imagination. This recipe is definitely...

Tortilla chips with Cheddar cheese and tomatos Tortilla chips with Cheddar cheese and tomatoes (or simply called Nachos) are a delicious snack that goes very well with beer. Each time we meet friends in a pub in order to have a few pints, we like to order them. Frequently we are quite dissatisfied by the quality. Rosie McGee’s in Copenhagen used to have very good nachos until recently, but last time when we ordered, we noticed a significant drop in quality. Our own version if very easy to make. We used a large bag of tortilla chips (Santa Maria chips are our favourite), grated red cheddar, few tomatoes, a handful of black olives, pickled jalapenos, juice of half of a lime, a bit of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, cilantro, salt and pepper. You can cook the nachos in an oven proof dish or baking sheet. We prefer a taller one, so that we could stack multiple layers of chips. This time, we had 2 layers of chips and 2 layers of cheese. We added olives and jalapenos between the layers...
