Split pea cream soup is a very dense and nutritious dish, perfect for cold days. Whenever autumn comes I feel I could do with this „military” soup (in Poland it is typically associated with military, as it is cheap, nutritious and easy to prepare in large quantities). I prepare it in a vegan version, and despite the […]
NEW YEAR, NEW CHALLENGES I planned my first race plan in 2016 and think it was great idea. As a result, after completing the running season I can look back and see where I made mistakes, whether I was able to meet the goals and make progress. I invite you to look at my 2106 race plan (here). Last year […]
BLOOD! PAIN! TEARS! The essence of a good race report! Well, sorry – this one will be weak then! My biggest challenge this year, the longest distance and the greatest total elevation gain. It was supposed to be hard … to knock down… chew and spit out … was supposed to … RACE IN A NUTSHELL […]

This is not my original recipe. On the contrary, tortilla pizzas can be found on hundreds of blogs throughout the Internet, with minimal differences (or none at all). Nevertheless, it is so quick and simple recipe that I decided to include it into my collection. As I am quite short and slim, I try to search for dishes […]
… Click… I feel as if someone turned off the light. I walk a few steps up and I have to rest. My head is buzzing, cold sweat dotted my forehead and I feel everything moving around in my stomach. Each step requires maximum effort – as if someone had put a 100-kg menhir on my back […]
Being lately on a „reduction” diet, I’ve been digging up some old recipes and making some new discoveries. This recipe is one of those dug up.

And so, my experiments […]

CHUDY WAWRZYNIEC 2016 …Slippery, icy slush poured into my shoe, and I felt it (along with the foot inside) slide over the mud in a completely uncontrolled way. I could only think one word (starting with „F”) before I fell into the big, brown puddle in the middle of the road… it’s cold, wet and pours […]
