Budinca dulce de paste (Sweet Pasta Pudding)

Share

         Trebuie sa va spun ca nu am tinut niciodata dieta la mancare, pe de o parte pentru ca sunt destul de slabuta pentru inaltimea mea si pe de alta parte pentru ca nu cred ca ma pot disciplina la capitolul acesta...ei, de cand am blogul am inceput sa prepar mai multe dulciuri si incepe sa se vada la cantar :)) nu mult, vreun 1-2 kg in plus, dar pentru mine e deja alarmant si e musai sa o las mai moale cu dulciurile si cu caloriile in mancare, cel putin pentru un timp...asta nu inseamna ca nu ma abat din cand in cand :) ca sa inchei seria de retete dulci din perioada recenta am zis sa prezint repede budinca de paste dulci, daca tot nu am mancat de foarte mult timp :)
         Budinca de taitei cu branza de vaci sau Vargabeles, este de origine ungureasca si e una dintre cele mai usoare retete de preparat, rapida si foarte apreciata de toata lumea, mai ales de cei mici :)
         I must say that I've never been on a food diet in my life, partly because I'm kind of skinny for my height and also because I can't really discipline myself when it comes to food...well, since I started posting recipes here I also began making more sweets and it's starting to show up on the scale :)) not too much, 1-2 kg more than usual, but for me that's an alarm signal and I must cut down on sweets and high calorie dishes, at least for a while...that doesn't mean I can't make exceptions once in a while :) to close the recent series of sweet recipes I thought I should post the Sweet Pasta Pudding recipe, since I can't remember when I last ate this delicious dessert :) 
         Sweet Pasta Pudding with Cottage Cheese or Vargabeles is a Hungarian recipe, very simple to make but highly appreciated by everyone, especially by kids :)

Ingrediente/Ingredients:      


250 g paste/250 g pasta
250 g branza de vaci/250 g cottage cheese
100 g smantana/100 g sour cream
3 oua/3 eggs
5 linguri cu zahar (eu am folosit brun)/5 tablespoons with sugar (I used brown sugar)   
zahar vanilat/vanilla sugar 
coaja de lamaie/lemon peel 




Cum se face/How it's made:


Mai intai fierbem pastele conform instructiunilor de pe pachet, si cand sunt fierte le punem in strecuratoare si le lasam sa se raceasca putin.
Intr-un bol amestecam branza de vaci cu 2 galbenusuri, zaharul, coaja de lamaie si smantana.
We cook the pasta following the instructions on the package and when they're done, we drain them and let them cool slightly.
In a bowl we combine together cottage cheese with 2 egg yolks, sugar, lemon peel and sour cream.

Adaugam pastele scurse de apa si le amestecam bine.
We add the pasta and we combine them with the liquid.

Batem albusurile cu un varf de sare si le incorporam usor in compozitia de paste.
We beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and we gently fold them in the pasta mixture.

Tapetam o forma cu unt si faina si punem compozitia de paste. Batem oul ramas si il turnam deasupra.
We grease and flour a baking dish and we place the pasta mixture. We beat the remained egg and we pour it on top.

Punem forma in cuptorul preincalzit la 175 grade pentru 35-40 minute, pana se rumeneste frumos deasupra.
We place the baking dish in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until it's golden brown on top.  

Lasam sa se raceasca si servim!
We let it cool slightly and then we serve!

Muffins cu banane si iaurt (Banana Muffins with Yogurt)

Share

          Aveam salvata reteta aceasta de briose si am zis sa o postez, daca tot nu am muffins in cartea mea virtuala :) Stiu ca in ultimul timp tot dulciuri apar pe blog, dar asta nu inseamna ca nu am mai gatit, dimpotriva, insa stiti cum e cand pozele nu sunt reusite, sau reteta nu e pe gustul meu, sau pentru ca pur si simplu nu a iesit cum trebuia, ca macarons-urile mele :)  dar nu ma dau batuta promit! Astazi o sa prepar o portie de legume gratinate care va fi next pe lista de postari :) ok, si acum sa vorbim de muffins.                        
         Pentru ca imi place deosebit de mult Checul cu Banane, am vrut sa fac si niste briose cu banane si iaurt, ca tot il aveam in frigider :) Reteta am preluat-o de pe allrecipes, insa eu nu am pus fulgii de ciocolata, cred ca v-am mai spus ca mie nu imi place ciocolata in prajituri prea tare :) Au iesit minunate, parfumate si bune, de-ti venea sa mananci cu cate 2 maini :))) Reteta are review-uri foarte bune, asa ca va invit sa o preluati si voi!
         I had this muffins recipe saved and I wanted to post it, since I didn't have any muffins recipe in my list :) I know that lately I only posted sweet recipes, but that doesn't mean that I don't cook, contrary, but you know how it is when the photos aren't good, or the recipe is not what you expected, or maybe it didn't turn out like it should, like my macarons :) but I won't give up, I promise! Today I'm gonna make some vegetable gratin which will be next on my blog :) Ok, so let's talk now about these muffins.
         Since Banana Bread is one of my favorites, I wanted to make some muffins as well, this time using yogurt. I've used a slightly modified recipe from allrecipes, but without any chocolate chips, I think I mentioned to you that I don't like chocolate in my desserts too much :) They turned out lovely, with a beautiful flavor, that you would wanna eat with both your hands :)) The recipe has great reviews, so I invite you to make it yourself as well!

Ingrediente/Ingredients:     


220 g faina/220 g all purpose flour
130 g zahar brun/150 g brown sugar
1/2 lingurita bicarbonat/1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 lingurita praf decopt/1/2 teaspoon baking powder
 un vf de sare/pinch of salt
1 ou/1 egg
125 ml ulei (am folosit ulei de seminte de struguri)/125 ml oil (I've used grapeseed oil)
125 ml iaurt simplu/125 ml plain yogurt
3 banane coapte/3 ripe bananas     


Cum se face/How it's made:     


Intr-un bol amestecam faina cu zaharul, sarea, praful de copt si bicarbonatul.
Intr-un bol separat amestecam impreuna oul cu iaurtul si uleiul.
In a large bowl we combine flour with sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda all together.
In a separate bowl we mix together the egg, yogurt and oil.

Zdrobim cu furculita 2 banane si jumatate, cealalta jumatate eu am lasat-o pentru decor.
We mash with a fork 2 1/2 bananas, the other half I left it for decorating.

Tapetam o tava de briose cu hartiutele in forma de lalea sau "tulip cups".
We place "tulip" cups" in a muffin pan.

Ne apucam de amestecat ingredientele.
We start combining the ingredients.

 Incorporam amestecul de ou in ingredientele uscate usor cu o spatula, iar la sfarsit incorporam si bananele zdrobite.         
 We gently fold the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, and at the end we fold the mashed bananas as well. 

Punem compozitie in fiecare forma si cate o felie de banana in mijloc (optional).
We place batter in each cup and one slice of banana in the middle (optional).      

  
Punem tava in cuptorul preincalzit la 175 grade pentru 20-25 minute. Cand sunt gata le scoatem pe un gratar.
We place the pan in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. When they're done, we place them on a rack.              

Mirosul ce venea din formele frumoase de lalea era divin!/The smell coming from the beautiful tulip forms was heavenly!

Mai de aproape.../Closer...

Si interiorul briosei...Bon appetit!/And the inside of a muffin...Bon appetit!

Chec cu capsuni (Strawberry Bread)

Share

        Aveam niste capsuni ramase in frigider si cum nu mai facusem un chec de ceva timp am cautat rapid o reteta si in 15 minute checul era in cuptor deja. Dupa ce mi-a imbatat casa cu mirosul absolut superb, am gustat asa caldut o felie ca nu m-am putut rabda :)) Perfect aromat si numai bun cu un pahar de lapte la micul dejun!  Reteta e de pe allrecipes, usor modificata de mine.
        I had some strawberries in the fridge and since I haven't had a sweet bread in a while, I searched the net for a good recipe and in 15 minutes, my strawberry bread was already in the oven. After filling my house with a heavenly smell, I couldn't resist and ate a slice, fresh from the oven :)) Deliciously flavored and just perfect with a glass of milk for breakfast! I followed a recipe from allrecipes, slightly modified.

Ingrediente/Ingredients:     


  300 g capsuni/300 g strawberries
  250 g faina/250 g all purpose flour
  130 g zahar/130 g sugar
  130 ml ulei/130 ml vegetable oil
  2 oua/2 eggs
  zahar vanilat/1 vanilla sugar
  1/2 lta praf de copt/1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
  1 vf de sare/a pinch of salt


     
Cum se face/How it's made:       


Spalam capsunile, le taiem bucatele si le zdrobim usor intr-un bol.
We wash the strawberries, chop and smash them slightly in a bowl.

Odata zdrobite adaugam  ouale si uleiul si amestecam bine.
We add eggs and oil and mix very well.

Intr-un alt bol amestecam faina cu zaharul, praful de copt, sarea si zaharul vanilat.
Adaugam compozitia lichida la cea uscata, incorporand-o usor cu o spatula de silicon, cat sa se amestece putin cu faina.
In a bowl we combine flour with sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla sugar.
We add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and we gently fold it with a silicone spatula without over folding.

Punem compozitia intr-o tava tapetata si dam la cuptorul preincalzit la 175 grade pentru 45 minute. Cand e gata, lasam checul sa se raceasca pe un gratar.
We place the batter in a greased and floured pan and we place the baking pan in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. When it's done, we let the strawberry bread cool on a rack.

Atat de simplu ca si un copil poate face checul acesta. Parfumat cu bucatele mici de capsuni, mmmm...
It's so easy to make that even a child can do it. Flavored with small strawberry pieces, mmmm...

 Mai de aproape...Bon appetit!
Closer...Bon appetit!

Please scroll down for English version


               Pentru cei care nu stiu ce sa mai gateasca intr-o zi de weekend in familie, m-am gandit ca ar fi util din cand in cand sa postez niste idei de meniu pentru sfarsitul de saptamana. Pentru noi azi a aratat asa:

Micul dejun:    

  Omleta cu bacon prajit si ceapa verde - omleta este nelipsita la micul dejun sambata :)

Pranz:

 Friptura de vitel in sos vanatoresc si cartofi piure - o mancare delicioasa de care ne era tare dor.
  (ne-am limitat la un singur preparat, fiind foarte satios)

Desert:


Budinca de orez la cuptor cu sos de zmeura - o bunatate pe care veti fi tentati sa o refaceti curand :)

Cina:


Terina de porc infasurata in bacon cu salata de cruditati - un aperitiv foarte simplu de facut si gustos care merge tare bine la cina sau chiar si la micul dejun.

        Retetele urmeaza sa le postez in zilele urmatoare, am vrut sa pun un scurt preview pana atunci.


 Duminica frumoasa va doresc!

             For those of you that are running out of ideas for the weekend menu, I thought it would be useful to post from time to time some recipes that I make on weekends. Today looked like this for us:




Breakfast:


Scrambled eggs with smoked fried bacon and green onions - a breakfast dish that we never miss on weekends


Lunch:


Veal steak in hunter sauce with mashed potatoes - a delicious recipe that I often make.
(we only had one course at lunch this time)


Dessert:


Rice pudding with raspberry sauce - it's so yummy that you'll be tempted to repeat very soon :)


Dinner:


Pork terrine wrapped in bacon with a fresh salad - a yummy appetizer that goes really well for breakfast or dinner.


          I'll post the recipes in the following days, I just wanted to post a short preview for this weekend.


   Have a lovely Sunday!
