Hello I meet everyone visitors of the Culinary Academy and I bring you this year’s first recipe for the Easter table - cottage cheese Easter. Every year I make Easter according to different recipes - sometimes with or with condensed milk😋, so this year I have prepared something new for you🤗. We'll make Easter with Oreo cookies - oh how🤩. Easter with Oreo cookies turns out dense, buttery, smooth, and tastes like GOST cheese curds in chocolate (if you're a fan, don't pass by🤗). Easter is easy to prepare, the ingredients are the most common, no raw eggs, a kilogram of butter, etc. but at the same time it is quite worthy of a festive Easter table 👍🤩! Thanks to Irina Kutova and her wonderful website Gudkuk for the recipe💋

Hello, my dears! Today at the Culinary Academy of Smart Housewives we have a recipe for an original cottage cheese casserole. How is it original, you ask? And the fact that it’s usual, but this one...tadamm is salty😲. Despite the unusual combination, it turns out juicy, tender, and tasty. Although why is it unusual? 🤔 ? We eat curd cheeses with unsweetened fillings - with the same dill, pickled cucumbers, mushrooms - and nothing, we are not indignant 😆. So I recommend trying unsweetened cottage cheese casserole as a light, nutritious breakfast or dinner.

Favorite Saintpaulias have not only a special appearance, but also a very specific character. Growing this plant bears little resemblance to classical care for indoor crops. And even the relatives of Uzambara violets from among the Gesnerievs require a slightly different approach. Watering is often called the most “strange” point in caring for violets, which prefer non-standard watering to the classical method. But the approach will also have to be changed when it comes to fertilizing.

Useful, hardy, unpretentious and easy to grow, marigolds are irreplaceable. These summer gardens have long since moved from city flower beds and classic flower beds to original compositions, decorating beds and potted gardens. Marigolds, with their easily recognizable yellow-orange-brown colors and even more inimitable aromas, today can pleasantly surprise with their diversity. Firstly, among marigolds there are both tall and miniature plants.

Our grandmothers, growing garden strawberries, or strawberries, as we used to call them, did not particularly worry about mulching. But today this agricultural technique has become fundamental in achieving high quality berries and reducing crop losses. Some might say it's a hassle. But practice shows that labor costs in this case pay off handsomely. In this article, we invite you to get acquainted with the nine best materials for mulching garden strawberries.

Succulents are very diverse. Despite the fact that “little ones” have always been considered more fashionable, it’s worth taking a closer look at the range of succulents with which you can decorate a modern interior. After all, colors, sizes, patterns, degree of prickliness, impact on the interior are just a few of the parameters by which you can choose them. In this article we will tell you about the five most fashionable succulents that amazingly transform modern interiors.

Sponge cake with chocolate cream - light, fluffy and airy, with delicate fudge cream based on milk powder, cocoa and cream. It takes very little time to prepare this dessert, and the ingredients are simple, inexpensive and accessible. Homemade cakes for evening tea are pleasant and cozy moments in life that any housewife can organize for her family or friends. You can replace the coconut flakes in this recipe with toasted walnuts.

It often happens that chemical insecticides, especially those that have been on the market for a long time, cease to act on pests due to the development of resistance (resistance) to the active substance, and then biological preparations can come to the rescue, which, by the way, have a number of advantages. In this article you will learn how Lepidocide will protect vegetable, berry, ornamental and fruit crops from leaf-eating pests.

The Egyptians used mint as early as 1.5 thousand years BC. It has a strong aroma due to the high content of various essential oils, which are highly volatile. Today, mint is used in medicine, perfumery, cosmetology, winemaking, cooking, ornamental gardening, and the confectionery industry. In this article we will look at the most interesting varieties of mint, and also talk about the features of growing this plant in open ground.

People began growing crocuses 500 years before our era. Although the presence of these flowers in the garden is fleeting, we always look forward to the return of the harbingers of spring next year. Crocuses are one of the earliest primroses, whose flowering begins as soon as the snow melts. However, flowering times may vary depending on the species and varieties. This article is dedicated to the earliest varieties of crocuses, which bloom in late March and early April.

Cabbage soup made from early young cabbage in beef broth is hearty, aromatic and easy to prepare. In this recipe you will learn how to cook delicious beef broth and cook light cabbage soup with this broth. Early cabbage cooks quickly, so it is placed in the pan at the same time as other vegetables, unlike autumn cabbage, which takes a little longer to cook. Ready cabbage soup can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. Real cabbage soup turns out tastier than freshly prepared cabbage soup.

Blueberries are a rare and promising berry crop in gardens. Blueberries are a source of biologically active substances and vitamins and have antiscorbutic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and tonic properties. The berries contain vitamins C, E, A, flavonoids, anthocyanins, microelements - zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, as well as plant hormones - phytoestrogens. Blueberries taste like a mixture of grapes and blueberries.

Looking at the variety of tomato varieties, it’s hard not to get confused - the choice is very wide today. Even experienced gardeners are sometimes confused by it! However, understanding the basics of selecting varieties “for yourself” is not so difficult. The main thing is to delve into the peculiarities of the culture and start experimenting. One of the easiest groups of tomatoes to grow are varieties and hybrids with limited growth. They have always been valued by those gardeners who do not have much energy and time to care for their beds.

Once very popular under the name of indoor nettle, and then forgotten by everyone, coleus today is one of the most colorful garden and indoor plants. It is not for nothing that they are considered stars of the first magnitude for those who are primarily looking for non-standard colors. Easy to grow, but not so undemanding as to suit everyone, coleus require constant monitoring. But if you take care of them, bushes made of velvety unique leaves will easily outshine any competitor.

Salmon backbone baked in Provençal herbs provides tasty pieces of fish pulp for a light salad with fresh wild garlic leaves. The champignons are lightly fried in olive oil and then sprinkled with apple cider vinegar. These mushrooms are tastier than regular pickled ones, and they are better suited for baked fish. Wild garlic and fresh dill get along well in one salad, highlighting each other’s aroma. The garlicky pungency of wild garlic will permeate both the salmon flesh and mushroom pieces.

A coniferous tree or shrub on a site is always great, but a lot of conifers is even better. Emerald needles of various shades decorate the garden at any time of the year, and phytoncides and essential oils released by plants not only aromatize, but also make the air cleaner. As a rule, most zoned mature conifers are considered very unpretentious trees and shrubs. But young seedlings are much more capricious and require proper care and attention.

Sakura is most often associated with Japan and its culture. Picnics under the canopy of flowering trees have long become an integral attribute of welcoming spring in the Land of the Rising Sun. The financial and academic year here begins on April 1, when the magnificent cherry blossoms bloom. Therefore, many significant moments in the life of the Japanese take place under the sign of their flowering. But sakura also grows well in cooler regions - certain species can be successfully grown even in Siberia.

The whole secret of his success lies, in my opinion, in the meatballs - children love them very much. And bright green broccoli (which, by the way, is very healthy) makes the soup appetizing even for the most notorious “don’t want to.” Shall we try?

Ingredients:

• 1-2 small potatoes;
• 1 small carrot;
• 100 g broccoli;
• 200 g minced pork;
• salt pepper.

Preparation:

We peel potatoes and carrots. Cut the potatoes into small cubes, and the carrots into thin half rings. Pour water into the pan, add potatoes and carrots and send to the fire.

When the water boils, reduce the heat to low, add salt and cook the potatoes and carrots for 10-15 minutes.

During this time, prepare the remaining ingredients. Wash the broccoli and separate it into florets.

From the minced meat (don't forget to salt and pepper) we form meatballs - not very large - about 2 cm in diameter. I usually just make the meatballs with my hands, but you can also use a spoon. In the latter case, you will have to put up with the less-than-perfectly round shape of the meatballs.

10-15 minutes after the water with potatoes and carrots boils, add meatballs and broccoli to the soup. Cook everything together for another 5-10 minutes. During this time, potatoes, carrots and broccoli should be completely cooked. And the meatballs also don’t need much time - if you made them small, as I advised, then they will cook very quickly.

That's all, our light soup with broccoli and meatballs is ready. I'm sure your baby will be very happy with this lunch!

I usually use frozen broccoli - its season is not long at all, so in the summer I make supplies: I put broccoli in small portions in the freezer. This is very convenient: you take out the required amount before cooking, defrost it - and you can cook a tasty and healthy soup.

I make the minced meatballs myself - somehow I don’t trust stores in this regard. Moreover, this is not at all difficult if you use an electric meat grinder. I don’t put onions in the minced meat - it seems to me that they are absolutely not needed for meatballs. And, unlike most housewives, I don’t add an egg either - without it, the meatballs turn out more tender (don’t be afraid that they will fall apart - nothing will happen to them, I assure you).

Very tasty meatballs are also made from chicken meat.

Meatball and broccoli soup is a great option for lunch or dinner, even if you are following a diet plan. You can use fresh or frozen cabbage for the soup, and there is no need to defrost it first. You can use more fatty or low-fat minced meat for meatballs (from chicken breast). This soup is also suitable for a child’s table, although little picky eaters are often wary of broccoli.

Ingredients

• 200 g broccoli
• 2 potatoes
• 1 onion
• 1 carrot
• 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil
• 200 g minced chicken
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3 pinches of spices
• 2-3 sprigs of fresh herbs for serving

Preparation

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients to cook a delicious soup for lunch. There is no need to cook the broth in advance, since the soup will already contain meatballs. Although, if desired, you can cook vegetable broth based on onions, carrots and roots (parsley, parsnips, fennel and celery). Vegetables for soup can be peeled and washed in advance.

2. Cut the potatoes into small cubes. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add potatoes to it. After boiling again, reduce the heat and simmer with the lid loosely closed.

3. Cut the onions into small cubes, also chop or grate the carrots.

4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and transfer vegetables to a hot surface. Fry over low heat, stirring, for 3-4 minutes. Then transfer the frying into the pan.

5. Wash the broccoli and divide it into small florets. Since this is a tender vegetable and cooks for 7-10 minutes, there is no need to put it in the pan ahead of time.
