I offer you today an extra-fast energy bar, in the „raw” version, i.e. without baking. In the internet there are loads of recipes for eneryg bars. Sometimes, […]
Tagliatelle is my favourite type of pasta. Good tagliatelle sticks well to the sauce, but it also looks good with solid pieces of vegetables. Today in a brilliant combination with oyster mushrooms in cream sauce. Yum-yum! Pasta is inseparably associated with running, all thanks to the ubiquitous „pasta party” before the marathons, when runners shove in tons of […]
Yet again I bought too many bananas and they’re overripe now… what to do, what to do… no time for banana bread, but I won’t throw them away (I hate throwing food away). Sickeningly sweet, sticky … I know! I’ll make some quick, delicious oatmeal cookies! „True story” – as they say. The idea came to my mind after I […]
You come back home after a hard workout and you’re not sure what’d be best to eat? Here’s my favourite post-workout, recovery smoothie. Sweet, chocolate, without any powders – thick and satiating.

A favorite snack of runners and vegetarians – peanut butter. Available in different flavors, but my favourite is classic – 100% roasted peanuts.

Today I offer you a quick and simple recipe – a spanish tortilla, i.e. omelette with potatoes. In Spain it is supposed to be eaten cold… for me, an omelette must be hot! The tortilla is a great idea for a quick dinner or supper (half a serving). It is a balanced meal rich in carbohydrates, […]

Lasagna is one of my favorite cheat meals, i.e. dishes I serve myself as an exception from my regular diet or a planned meal before the major race. In such a case the large amount of calories (especially carbs) is most welcome. Spinach lasagna is as good a carbo-loading meal as a regenerative meal after […]
Buckwheat with cottage cheese has that special something. This combination of flavors is really excellent – you need nothing more. Just put it on a plate … or try a little harder and make it a refined dish. For vegans I suggest a green pea puree – equally tasty. And how about preparing both versions at the same […]

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 […]
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.
