I used to always buy hummus, but now I prefer to make my own, since it requires very few simple ingredients, and only takes a couple of minutes to complete.
I grow my own garlic and basil, so my hummus is also very fresh, and very inexpensive to make.
Since posting the recipe for the Polish Strawberry Soup, which was suggested to be served with pasta, I reminisced a little, and remembered my mom’s quick egg drop noodles (Lane Kluski), which she served with her homemade cherry soup, or chicken broth, or even as a breakfast meal served with fruit syrup.
There are so many different ways to consume strawberries, such us serving it plain, sliced with whipped cream, baking a Strawberry Shortcake, making a berry smoothie, and also cooking a very refreshing summer dish – Strawberry Soup.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, since it provides us with the “fuel” necessary to start our day. However many of us are too busy in the morning to fit this meal into our schedule, thus most people skip it altogether, or just grab something quick on the go, like a cup of coffee.
I try to have breakfast every morning, and on weekends I put extra effort to make it a little more special.
The Great Lent began about two weeks ago, which means that those who follow this tradition, abstain from eating meat at least on Friday of every week, or some even do it on Wednesdays as well.

I have been posting some of my meatless recipes during this past year, so if you are searching for ideas, here are the links to these posts:
