Pancakes are one of those dishes which have saved me from hunger strike. My son eats every kind of pancakes, regardless of the ingredients or what I serve them with. I am astonished that all pancakes can be eaten with sugar. This time we broke with tradition and we ate some potato-carrot pancakes with spicy guacamole. I must say that this unusual combination was delicious. Try it, it is worth it.

Ingredients:
pancakes
0.5 kg of potatoes
2 big carrots
1 onion
5 tablespoons of flour
2 eggs
salt and pepper
oil for frying
guacamole
2 avocados
1 small red pepper
a piece of chili pepper
1 clove of garlic
half a shallot
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
salt and pepper

The season for asparagus spears is very short, so when they are white and green we buy them almost every time we go shopping. We can eat them in every way: cooked, grilled, in soups, in salads, with ham, with eggs, in omelettes and so on. The possibilities are almost endless. Today's French version of mimosa asparagus spears can be a starter for an elegant dinner or an easy and delicious snack during the day. This simple dish is made up of only a few ingredients: green asparagus spears, hard-boiled eggs and vinaigrette sauce. You should remember not to overdo asparagus spears. They should still be hard and crunchy, so boiling can be replaced with frying or grilling. For my asparagus spears I prepared a lightly spicy sauce with mustard and maple syrup. The dish was really amazing.

Ingredients (for 2 people)
1 bunch of asparagus spears
2 eggs
salt and pepper
sauce:
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of chopped chili pepper
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of mustard

Today's offer is a universal dish. A herby omelette you can serve for dinner or a quick lunch. It is easy and quick to prepare, so you can dish it out for a typical breakfast. If you do it in a big pan, so the omelette is thin, and you roll it, you can make a party snack. Add your favourite fresh herbs to the omelette. I added chives, parsley and dill. During the summer season, when herb gardens smell beautiful add basil, oregano, sage or mint. Every time you will get a different delicious dish.

Ingredients (1 omelette)
2 eggs
50ml of 30% sweet cream
1 tablespoon of parmesan
2 tablespoons of chopped chives
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
2 tablespoons of chopped dill
4 tablespoons of thin cut ham
1 teaspoon of clarified butter
salt and pepper

I am sure I have written about how my son likes pancakes and pikelets more than once. Doesn't matter if I make them from vegetables or fruit, he will eat as much as he can anyway and ask for seconds. He eats them with icing sugar (even those made from vegetables). He only makes an exception for American pancakes, which he eats with maple syrup. Today I went a little crazy and I prepared a luxurious version of pancakes with bananas and runny chocolate inside. I recommend them to everyone; it is really difficult to resist them.

Ingredients:
500ml of natural yoghurt
8 tablespoons of flour
3 tablespoons of potato flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 teaspoons of caster sugar
2 bananas
8 pieces of chocolate
oil for frying

I think that after the epidemic is over, personal trainers and dieticians will have their hands full. Most of us (I hope) are staying at home, looking after the kids and baking, cooking and keeping the peace. My children treat this time off school as a winter break, and they choose to eat dumplings, pancakes, pikelets and cakes, so all the things that I don't have time for during a typical weekday and which I prepare on weekends and holidays. As parents we also eat these treats with our kids. Today I said 'enough' and I prepared a vegetable snack – courgette in cheesy batter. I served it with a yogurt-garlic sauce. I didn't eat much, because it appears to be my children's favourite snack. Next time I will make it when my kids are at school, and I will eat it all by myself 

Ingredients:
2 small courgettes
100g of breadcrumbs
50g of grated parmesan
1 teaspoon of thyme
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
salt and pepper
oil for frying
3-4 tablespoons of flour
2 eggs
sauce:
200g of natural yoghurt
2 tablespoons of cottage cheese
1 clove of garlic
3 tablespoons of chopped chives
salt and pepper
