Turkish bagel simit

«To the Turks, simit – what baguette is to the French. It's not just a bread. It's a way of life. They start their mornings with simit, they eat simit at noon and get a good energy boost... Crunchy sesame, slightly sweet browned crust, incredibly tender «creamy» crumb – for the sake of simit, it is worth it to mess with the dough! Especially since the process is not very long and complicated.

Milk porridge with rice and pumpkin

This delicious and simple breakfast is not difficult to prepare, it would seem. But if moms are used to cooking it «by eye» say, half a cup there, half a cup there, my first «pancake» was a failure, I did not calculate the amount of cereals, then I had to add a lot of milk in the process, and the result was not what I expected. So, the second time I carefully weighed all the ingredients to keep the proportion, and it turned out perfectly – moderately thick, moderately sweet, delicious porridge.

Rabbit – meat is lean, dietary, and you don't want to spoil it «spoil» by hard roasting, fat, etc. So I always try to figure out how to cook rabbit with a minimum of intervention. Here is this recipe – a successful variation, moreover, requiring from you a minimum of effort, except to cut the carcass and cut vegetables. And the good thing about it is that you get both meat and a side dish to go with it.

Curd casserole with oatmeal and apple (diet version)

I have a lot of casserole recipes on my site and I make a few of them very often, for example, tender casserole is adored by the whole family. In this recipe, I used only the foods allowed in diet #5. As a result, it turned out to be quite tasty and diet-friendly casserole. That's why I am sharing this recipe on the blog, because even if you don't need to follow a medical diet, you can always make a healthier and dietary version of the dish.

Granola

You can change the composition of granola to suit you, I've added the goodies I love and the goodies I want to use but don't eat pure, like flax and pumpkin seeds. I use it very simply: pour it in yogurt or ryazhenka – and breakfast is ready! But you can also add it to cottage cheese, or sprinkle it on top of a pie, or even make a salad.

Pierre Hermé's chocolate marshmallows.

Another experiment with marshmallows. We liked the first ones fruit puree very much, now I tried the chocolate ones. I made them for cake decorations and for treats for the kids, but it turns out they are delicious with coffee. You just have to throw a few pieces into hot coffee and wait for the marshmallow to melt, forming a delicious chocolate foam on top. All in all, tasty little things that can be eaten in many different ways. They're delicious.
