Artichoke and Smoked Salmon Quiche

May 6, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

Celebrate this upcoming Mother’s Day with your loved ones and some delicious food. This quiche can be made ahead of time so the special day can be work-free! Mother’s Day is approaching fast and I wanted to have something special on my blog. I was going back and forth between the classics like pancakes or waffles made with some twist or something less traditional. I decided to go with this quiche because it a) is scrumptious, b) can be made […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread

May 3, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

This Chocolate Peanut Butter bread is scrumptious and easy to make. Buckwheat flour makes it gluten free. I have been super busy recently with the end-of-school year activities, including the Walk-a-Thon, annual Art Vista Show and some field trips. As I mentioned previously, I was an Art Vista docent (teaching a hands-on art lesson monthly) in both of my sons’ classes. It is rather amusing that I agreed to do it considering I’m really bad at drawing or any other […]

Green Smoothie

January 12, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

Here is a Green Smoothie recipe for anyone ready for a challenge and some health improvements. Drink it daily! I have been a fan of green smoothies for a long time now. I came across Kimberly Snyder’s Beauty Detox website and got interested in her health principals, detox phases, food pairings and eating guidelines. I was looking for tips on how to have more energy, improve my skin and eat healthier, although I was eating relatively healthy at that point […]

Cranberry Orange Muffins with Almond Topping

These flavorful Cranberry Orange Muffins will keep you in the spirit of the Holidays between the Holidays. They can be served as a part of your Christmas Day breakfast. Fresh cranberries available this time of year mean holidays for many people. There is hardly a Thanksgiving dinner without cranberry sauce, relish or stuffing with cranberries. Pork roast, often made for Christmas Day dinner, can be served with cranberry-mint relish or cranberry-apple sauce. Last year’s November issue of Food Network magazine […]

Blueberry Pie with Crumb Topping

July 10, 2015 by It's Cooking With Magda

Perfect Blueberry Pie recipe. It’s sweet and full of flavor. Perfect with your morning coffee and as an afternoon snack.Before I tell you about this scrumptious pie, let me tell you a story. Our almost 8 year old son broke his arm quite badly last week. Considering the things he does like climbing, parkour, scooter riding in a skate park, you would expect him to get hurt during his usual activities. But no, he was jumping off of a brand […]

Tropical Mango Pineapple Smoothie

June 2, 2015 by It's Cooking With Magda

Treat yourself to a tropical Mango Pineapple smoothie. It’s delicious, very refreshing and good for you. My kids really like the Mango Pineapple smoothie from Mac Donald’s. We usually get it for them when on a road trip and only from time to time when at home. Since receiving my super duper blender last year I have been making all sorts of soups, sauces, dips, smoothies and popsicles. This Tropical Mango Pineapple Smoothie is my version of the one from […]
