Eating during the Christmas fast excludes fatty animal food, fish can be eaten several times a week. But after the fast, the recipes for Christmas dishes are more diverse, there is meat, fish, and dairy products.

The dish is delicious and easy to prepare, it looks very nice both on holidays and on weekdays. I made small adjustments to the recipe of the roll, in my opinion, it turned out delicious. Prepare a roll with vegetables and liver.
Very tasty and tender liver pie casserole. This liver will appeal to all adults and children. It has a completely different taste, and even those who don’t like it will like it. It is very tasty in hot form, but also in cold form – no less delicious, here for an amateur. I’m cooking a double portion, one is never enough for us, start with one. The ingredients are given for one serving.
At the heart of the cake without baking cookies “Savoyardi” with a light custard for pudding and a layer of bananas. Minimum amount of fat and sugar. A worthy option for a children’s holiday or a pleasant and satisfying lunch.
A recipe from the “two in one” series. These Mediterranean dishes complement each other so much that it just didn’t make sense to present them separately! They will fill your home with fragrance and delight you and your loved ones with their appearance and amazing taste!
It has already snowed in our city. As they always say in such cases – “monthly precipitation”. Everyone is happy, but we didn’t have time to feel autumn. For autumn memories, I again climbed into the bins – frozen berries and apples of different varieties for long-term storage. And nature itself inspired me to prepare this dessert.
