Pasta with asparagus and Philadelphia cream cheese

This year I'm get used to eating asparagus. Well, I've tried it before, but sometimes it takes time to start liking something, right?:) In my book, it perfectly fits in a pasta. Adding some bacon and cream cheese provides a deeper taste and makes this pasta really comfort fall/winter food. 

Pumpkin pancakes with caramel sauce

After 5 months being absent I finally decided to post some pictures on this blog again. Actually, I've got a couple of enough awesome photos in spite of the fact that usually they are mediocre:) Yap, I'm such a self-critical guy:))) To be honest, I do not know how long I will be able to post recipes cause I'm so lazy, too, and these posts are not only sharing with my food world, but a really tedious work on my English...What's why  I'd like to apologize for my meager language and any mistakes...in advance. I promise be better:)

This fall I've been using pumpkins a lot! Really, I've never been so familiar with them before! In the past 3-4 years I was get used to adding pumpkins in soups and salads...and that's all! Sorry, what are you asking me about?! Desserts? Pumpkin pie?!! Pasta?!! No way....!!! It was some sort of...well... prejudice to it! But not any more - now I love pumpkin...Oh boy, probably I'm becoming addicted to it:))) Soon, if I don't give up posting, I'm going to share a great set of scrumptious pumpkin recipes.

This recipe I found on the Kevin's blog - by the way, it's full of really awesome recipes and ideas! I didn't hesitate for a long time and soon after we had a perfect breakfast. If you have never made pumpkin pancakes and still have doubts - don't worry. I anticipate you loving them. And don't forget about caramel sauce since it's a pretty essential part of the meal:)))

Waffles with caramelized bananas

It was my first recipe I made after buying a waffle maker last December. Since that time I have done waffels just 2...or 3 times:))) Yes, it often happens with different kitchen staff! Use ripe but firm bananas for this recipe.

Salad with baked carrots and sesame seeds

I was not going to prepare this salad with fish. But finally I faced with a necessity to cook a salmon. So, I decided to bake it, just with a little of olive oil, salt and pink pepper, and added some of it in the salad. 

Salad with pasta, broccoli and sesame dressing

It was a pretty spontaneous decision to prepare this salad. Usually I plan on a week menu (sure, it can be changed during a week). That weekend we had a trip, so I didn`t have an opportunity to think over the menu and bought the ingredients. As a result, on Monday I faced with the necessity to prepare the dinner with something I had in the fridge:) This was quit lovely dish! But most of all I liked the dressing and I`ll use it in the future salads.

Amaretto sweets

I`d like to introduce to you a gorgeous dessert. These sweets are slightly crispy, with an almond flavor and generally delicious. The recipe is from the book The Homemade Sweets by Dr Erker and I strongly recommend to try it.

Bell peppers stuffed with cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and basil

Ricotta, mozzarella, basil, garlic, olive oil...is not it a lovely and comfort food? Oh yes, i've forgotten about baked bell peppers:)
