Nettles pesto with fried eggs

The first nettles is already on the market - fresh and green. I love to prepare nettles and I am not afraid of its stinging properties, so I do not use rubber gloves to handle it. It is said, nettles is good for the health because it cleans blood. I do not know whether this is true, but anyway, one of the first things I prepare every spring is nettles puree with fried or poached eggs above. It is so good to feel spring with all your senses.

Sweet and spicy salmon

It is hot. But also sweet. You can feel the garlic. And the roasted sunflowers seeds. But the fish retains its sea taste. Every single ingredient has its place in this recipe. You do not need to add any butter or oil - salmon is fatty enough. And the spread above the fillet seals it during baking and keeps the meat inside juicy and full of flavor. Baked salmon with Sriracha hot sauce and plum preserves is a dish which requires little effort and little time. And the end result is amazing. I took the sweet part of the recipe from here - the spicy Sriracha sauce was what I needed to contradict the sweetness of the plum preserve.

Spinach Soup with Leek and Feta cheese

With spring approaching I start to think more often about green colored dishes on my table. Spinach is always a good choice according to me - it has light taste and low calories value. I cook spinach very often. It is good as a part of dips, roasted dishes and soups. 

This is one of my favorite vegetable soups - it is light, with low amount of calories, which makes it good at the end of the winter overeating period.
