Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 15, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

This is the only chocolate chip cookie recipe you will ever need. These cookies are crunchy on the edges but soft in the center with lots of melted chocolate oozing when you take a first bite! Our family’s favorite! It’s been forever since my last post but I have been so busy with everyday life. Between kids and work there is very little time left for my blog. I have been baking quite a bit though but it usually happens […]

gooey brownies on a plate decorated with raspberries

Amazing Gooey Brownies

September 16, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

These brownies are gooey, chewy, and full of chocolate. Better make a double batch because they will be gone before you know it! People can be divided into those who love gooey brownies and those who don’t. Just like chocolate chip cookies, some like them chewy, some like them crispy. I love gooey, chewy, soft cookies and brownies! Ian, who is a big fan of gooey brownies, and I have been trying different recipes and making some adjustments to find the […]

Grilled Skirt Steak Salad with Nectarines and Goat Cheese

August 20, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

This is one of my favorite salads this summer! It combines the best produce available and the steak makes it hearty enough to be served as dinner. 30 minutes from start to table!Our boys started school this week! I can’t believe how fast the summer break went by. Since I started working right around the end of school year, our boys spent most of the summer at different camps. They had fun and made some new friends. But no breaks […]

grilled skirt steak with parsley and butter

Skirt Steak with Garlic Butter

August 7, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

Skirt steak is a relatively inexpensive cut of meat with a lot of flavor. Great for weeknight dinner as it cooks quickly. Serve it with your favorite salad. We are back from our trip to Yosemite which turned out to be fun and relaxing. The house we rented was supposed to have the internet connection but it didn’t. And guess what, we ended up talking to each other much more, playing games with the boys and reading. I started reading […]

Delicious, crunchy and full of flavor Greek Zucchini Fritters are my suggestion for an easy summer dinner!This past weekend our older boy turned 9 and his dreams finally came true when he got a bmx bike!

He saw a video about it on youtube probably […]

mango papaya salad with grilled chicken and spicy dressing

Thai Chicken Salad with Mango

June 1, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

My sister made  this salad last year and I became a huge fan instantly. It’s refreshing, vibrant, full of flavors and great on a hot day! In my last post I mentioned the Makers Faire that happens annually here in the Bay Area. We went there on a day that is supposed to be the least busy out of the 3 days the faire lasts. The place was packed anyway but we got to see some cool things. There was […]

Baked Salmon with Herbed Cheese and Croutons

May 22, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

Try my suggestion for a quick and delicious salmon dish that can easily be put together for a weeknight dinner or fancy weekend feast. Have you guys heard of Maker Faire? It’s an annual 3-day event, where scientists, geeks and home inventors meet and present their ideas and projects. You get to see things like dragon motorcycles, dancing water fountains, life size mousetrap, 3-D printed objects or electric giraffe. Pretty exciting, huh? My boys have been going there for the past […]

Tropical Fruit Salad with Coconut Meringues

May 7, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

Tropical Fruit Salad with cute, heart-shaped coconut meringues will be a perfect addition to Mother’s Day brunch! A Mother’s Love A Mother’s love is something That no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion And of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish And enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it Or take that love away… It is patient and forgiving When all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters Even though the […]
