A homemade dinner is not only another meal, but also a special event in every family or group of friends. It can be given a special atmosphere and mood if you choose the right dishes for cooking and approach the cooking process with soul and maximum diligence.
There are many options for evening meals, but it is worth considering what exactly the upcoming evening will be.
For a quiet, family, evening rest, more classic, traditional recipes are suitable. The menu must necessarily include hot. Meat or fish are also needed to prepare a full meal. You can make a casserole of potatoes with minced meat, lasagna or chicken in the original sauce and add a salad with a lot of greens in it – so it will be much more useful.
For a romantic evening organized for a private conversation and confessions, light but memorable dishes are suitable. Rabbit meat stewed with vegetables or vegetable roll with combinations of fillings will be an excellent solution. Salads with seafood and caviar, a variety of desserts: tiramisu, strudel or sponge cake are well suited.
For a diet dinner, you can choose recipes that contain the whole complex of vitamins and at the same time have excellent taste properties. Fish or poultry is steamed or in a slow cooker with the addition of a large number of vegetables, dessert is formed from low-calorie fruits.
If a holiday is expected, the variety of ideas is practically unlimited, but an individual approach and competent execution are needed. Salads can be offered any, with the participation of hearty ingredients. For the main serving, baked stuffed poultry, fish with sour cream sauce or meat with cheese will be good.
Set aside a handful of beans when you boil them for the next dish. This salad-snack will not be superfluous on the table. Just three ingredients-beans, fried onions and walnuts, but how much fun!

Bigos is a dish typical for many European cuisines: Ukrainian, Polish, Lithuanian, Belarusian, German. As a rule, this is a combination of stewed sauerkraut with meat. The idea of cooking bigos with buckwheat was given to me by Zhenya Klopotenko. But my husband does not like sauerkraut in any heat treatment. So I got out of it with a fresh one. It turned out very tasty. I recommend it to everyone
