Hello foodies! ❤️
Guess whaaaaaat? It's time for my weekly food post once again. Here I am in Week 4 already! I'm trying to keep this series going and post constantly.
Last week it's been a busy week in the kitchen. I've had it all from pasta to salads, desserts and one birthday cake to coconut milk and smoothies, cream soup andmy favorite sandwich! I hope you enjoy this last week's recipes!
Minced Beef and Red Sauce Pasta
This is one of our favorite recipes. I call it Bolognese but I know its not even close to original recipe.
And yet, here is how I cook the sauce: in a pan, put some olive oil. Saute onion and garlic, carrot and minced beef meat. Add oregano, basil, salt anf pepper, tomato sauce of tomato chunks. Let it boil for 15-20 minutes. Making the sauce should take about 20-30min.
Serve it with your favorite pasta and parmesan cheese on top. Yummy.

M&Ms Chocolate Cake
This is a piece of my son's birthday cake. We actually had two. This cake here was made by my mom, filled with chocolate cream and cherries. On top I put m&m's! The kids loved it!
It was delicious!Actually, it was better than the one we bought from one of those prestigious confectioneries we all surely have in town! Funny thing...and it was expensive like hell!
Fried Camembert and Berry Sauce
I wanted to try this for a while and finally I did it.
For the sauce: in a pan add a mix of berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, strawberries). Add a bit of sugar and let it boil for 10 minutes.
Fried Camembert: you need eggs, panko bread and flour. First, cut the cheese in small pieces, then roll the pieces in flour, egg and panko. Fry in hot oil for 3-4 minutes.
Beef and Asian Veggies mixt stir fry
This was something I came up with last minute after I found out in the freezer a bag of asian veggies mix. Also I had two pieces of beef fillets. I boiled spaggethi and did a stir fry with all the veggies and the beef. It was mostly for the husband. I added some soya sauce too.
Tuna Salad
The easiest salad on Earth! You need one can of kidney beans (or cook your own), tuna, onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, shredded carrot and crutouns. Salt and black pepper and you're good to go! Sometimes I make a salsa dressing for this salad but I like it more without.
Crutouns and Kidney beans make the salad Delicious. Make sure not to skip these two ingredients!
One Tray Bacon and Veggies Oven Baked
Ohhh this! This one tray of veggies an bacon is just perfect for lazy or busy evenings. It works great for lunch too.
Add olive oil, your favorite veggies (I had carrots, potatoes and cauliflower), season with oregano, salt and pepper, add a few bacon slices and when it's ready (40 minutes) you can add some mozzarella chesse on top. This is completely optional but husband likes it so I always add it (or at least add it on half of the portion as you can see in the picture down below).
Meatloaf, Veggies and Brown Mushroom Sauce
This one is something we served on Sunday.
Mushroom sauce: In a pan add olive oil and onion. Saute for 5 minutes, add oregano, salt and pepper. Add brown mushroom slices and saute for another 10-15 minutes. Add salt again and then add heavy cream. Stir in to incorporate it and leave it for 5 minutes more. Done.
The quantities: I would say something around 500g mushroom and 200ml heavy cream.
Veggies: I had potatoes, green beans and red bell pepper. Olive oil, salt and pepper and thats it. Saute all the veggies until they're well cooked.
Meatloaf: This meatloaf is stuffed with mozzarella cheese and coated in bacon. For the meatloaf you'll need one onion, a few cloves of garlic, one cup oats, salt and pepper, 500g minced meat, thyme and maybe one egg. Thats it. Combine all ingredients and roll the mixture over slices of bacon. Put cheese inside and roll everything.

Coconut Chocolate Milk
I always make my coconut milk at home and very rarely buy it. This time I made it from fresh coconut but very often I do it from coconut flakes (it's more convinient and time less consuming).
After making the plant based milk, I added a bit of honey and cacao powder! Yumm is the perfect word! Silky and soft, chocolate flavored and ready to be enjoyed!
Here you can read more about the process of making coconut milk.

Carrot and ginger cream soup
My little one loves cream soups, of any time. This time I had a carrot and ginger cream soup. Other ingredients you need are: olive oil, onion, 1 sweet potato, a few cloves of garlic and coconut milk. You can use water, veggies broth or chicken broth.
You need to saute onion, carrots, ginger and sweet potato. Add rest of the ingredients, including the stock. Add salt and black pepper, maybe some paprika too. Boil until everything is well cooked and then blend it in a normal blender or a vertical one. Serve with crutouns or grilled bread.
Breakfast for a preschooler
This is regular for my 4 year old. He doesnt like mushy foods or combined. He likes to see everything and not be touched one to another. This is getting me in a dangerous spot sometimes as I feel irritated when he complains about the fact that his avocado touched the bread and I feel to shout out my nerves and impatience.
Here he had: pineapple, radish, avocado, grilled bread with basil olive oil on top then cut into small pieces, a few chocolate raisins and homemade yoghurt.
My favorite Sandwich in the World
This is.....like the one and only! My favorite of all! I could eat this every day! I would go right now and have one but I dont have rucola greens! 😢
This sandwich is really soo sooo delicious!
Bread (Romanian delicious bread cooked on teh hearth), Creamcheese, Homemade Prosciutto Crudo and Arrugula salad on top (rucola).
Green Smoothie for the winners
My son asked a green smoothie and I was like whattt? 😏 "Yes, baby. Sure!" How wouldnt't I? When your 4 years old ask for a GREEN SMOOTHIE, you just can't say NO.
After so much work in making them aware of what healthy food is sand how to take care of our health, you definitely don't say NO when he asks you for a smoothie.
So I came up with half of banana, kale greens, apple and 2-3 small pieces of pineapple. Ready in 5 minutes! He drank it all and I really enjoyed seeing him how fast he drank the whole cup!
Cherries Sponge Cake
This is something to die for! All family loves it!! I do it in the summer too and actually, you can find the link here to my original recipe.
The recipe is simple to make, about 30 minutes to prepare all and put it in the oven. Its not really a healthy recipe, as you need white flour, eggs, baking powder, sugar.
I had sweet cherries in the fridge from our last harvest. we were loaded with buckets of cherries so I had to put them in the freezer.
Green Salad and Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Salad
You can serve it as a main dish or side dish, whatever your choice is, you can't go wrong.
I had a few green salad leaves left in the fridge, added some cherry tomatoes, red onion rings and one big fresh mozzarella. I quickly made a dressing out of yoghurt, mayo, garlic powder, salt and pepper and that it.
Crutouns would be great with this if you consider having it as the only dish on your table. Or it could be the perfect side dish along with a steak or grilled chicken breast.
This is all for WEEK 4! There were some other recipes and some eating out times, but I didnt manage to share it all!
I hope you'll find some inspiration for your future cooking experiences with this blog! And if you have any questions regarding to any of my recipes shared here, leave a comment down bellow and I'll tell you all about it!
Thank you for reading this and I really hope you'll find something delicious, worth trying!
love, missdeli

Hey hey! So sweet saying that. 😋 glad you enjoyed taking a look to my food photos. 🙈
I'm a bit late replying but here I am. I miss some eggs haha. As you can see here, there werent egg breakfast recipes this week and I just realized I miss eggs, especially after reading your comment again.
Weekend cooking sounds great. I'm home a lot so you can imagine I have time for cooking..
Wow, these recipes look amazing! I love the variety, from pasta to stir fry to baked veggies. The tuna salad sounds like the perfect healthy and easy lunch option one could cook up within minutes. The fried camembert with berry sauce also sounds unique and delicious. Thanks for sharing these recipes and the step-by-step instructions. I would pick all the dishes. Beautiful pictures!
Thank you so much! The tuna salad is really delicious, I use to make it this way sicne back then, almost 10 years and I still keep this recipe this simple.
The fried camembert was a try at home after tasting the most delicious fried camembert at one resort here in Romania.
Thank you for stopping by and taking your time to leave such a nice comment! Appreciate it.

You're right. Definitely, most of them are super simple to make. 😊
That's pure art! If I could cook like that I think I would weight a ton! :P

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed my post here! I'm actually hungry now! 😂
I am happy to read your post simply because good home cooked food makes me happy.
I am a vegetarian and was hoping to find some beg delights and I was not disjointedness.
I could say I would love to eat the cakes to my hearts content but them I see I am writing on the post of a Certified nutritionist.
So let me finish the Green Salad and Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Salad before I go to the sweet treats.

A beautiful idea you present exceptionally and congratulations on managing to post consistently as you set out to do. I don't even know what to say... that I'm envious, that I'm glad to see and inspired?
This series of posts, I want to keep this close to me all the time so that when I get bored of the few, classic dishes I keep repeating, I can build on what you propose here.
Many thanks!
Thank you! I really try to keep these food posts going weekly and I didnt have any problems doing it so far. I'm really happy to know you like this collection food posts and maybe get some inspiration as well. I hope you can find something to try. And if you do and need some more instructions or whatever regarding that recipe in particular, please write me. I'll be more than happy to share all I know with you.
I thank you for your comments and encouragmement and good words! Appreciate it a lot!🤗
With pleasure! I will definitely copy some of your recipes and if I don't understand something, I will definitely ask you, thanks.
I do have one concern. Your food looks so good that I think it might kill some silhouettes... aren't you afraid? Ha, ha...
I'm not afraid. Just make sure not happening to you haha.
Just so you know, we have meals simpler than this very often.
And I know it can be healthier than this. Also simpler recipes are more likely to be healthier.
I used to cook mpre healthy than this...
It really happens with me, @missdeli! I'm trying to take kilos off but they keep coming back more and more. The truth is that I cooked and ate mostly unhealthy food, i.e. more fried food, and now I find it hard to change, even though I see the bad effects right on me. I feel like my future doesn't look good!
Once again you have all my sincere admiration! You find time to do so many quality things in your life. I do much less and fail to plan my time (the truth is I am not even allowed to do that).
I think you should start paying attention to your health more...its a must. And I encourage you to start as soon as possible. To your age, health needs to be a priority. I understand that you like fried foods, I like them too and i found hard to get back to what I had once a long time ago. I mean a diety with more greens, vegetables and less meat. I dont blame you, I know its hard. Exactly as you said, its hard at this age when your body got used to this kind of food.
But they say it takes 3 weeks for the body to establish a new routine. It means that if you want to start a diet or do a change into it, its gonna be hard 3 weeks and than not anymore because your body got used to it.
I fail to organize my time too. Dont worryz you're not alone. I am so unorganized since I have Caleb, I dont recognize myself. I used to be more active and learn new things. Now I dont do this anymore and I feel depressed because there are so many things I would love to learn and I dont have energy for it.
I'm sorry you're facing the same organizational and time issues, but we're hardly to blame, life has become so chaotic now, and when you have a child, you have to be at their beck and call first and foremost.
Thanks for the advice, I need to be more determined and change some of my old habits. I feel the time has come for that, even if I don't like it!
The looks so sumptuous
Just what I need now to begin this lovely month deliciously 😋

Hey there! Thank you for your cute comment, I'm glad to know you've taken your time to take a look to my post here! Not all meals of the week were so sumptuous, u know? For example, one breakfast I didnt share was a banana or a kiwi. Or a tea with some crackers.
Wish you a wonderful February!
I had a full feast this early morning through this, thank you :) It's amazing that you do a variety of healthy dishes for your family.

Thanks so much for the appreciation, I guess I'm just doing my best with what we have here. It could be healthier than this though hehe.

Thanks 😁😁 glad you like the food photos.
M&Ms chocolate cake sounds like a delicious and fun dessert option. The combination of chocolate cake and colorful M&Ms is sure to be a hit with both kids and adults.
It was! It was really deliciously amazing. I forgot to share a photo of the entire cake. Kids went crazy for it. The good thing it was cooked at home with very few, good ingredients. No artificial stuff.
Heh. We finally had something in common! Haha. We also enjoyed some pasta during the weekend so happily, I don't feel continuously hungry anymore after I see your posts :D
Thanks darling! We had pasta two times last week, as you can see and actually I was just thinking that maybe today I will cook shrimp pasta. Me and Caleb are in love with this kind of pasta.
Oh I do love making green smoothies! Took a bit of getting used to, but they are the healthiest I think.
Bacon, well bacon goes so well with so many things.
What a selection of food, I love seeing home cooking!

I love green smoothies myself! And I'm really happy my son loves them too, at 4 years old.
Bacon yeah. Its so versatile. I dont cook it very often but when I do, we make sure to enjoy it.

Thanks, glad you like it. I try my best cooking for the family!
smoothies and coconut milk are my favourite ones!💚
and how much does a holiday cake cost in your place? homemade one is definetely better!
Well, I paid 125 USD for a cake, 2-3 kg and design...
We drink coconut milk too. I like my homemade much more than the bought one.
I like the recipe of this food dish and you have presented it well. Yummy-looking food.
