    I just found your website. To me, this is one of the best sites for great recipes that I’ve used with beautifully photographed dishes. I like the banner of related recipes that appears at the top as well as the meal plans. I’m looking forward to preparing so many of these recipes. The only criticism I have is all of the advertisements that randomly pop up all over the page while I read the recipes. It’s quite annoying and I wonder if there is any way to reduce those or place them in one locations, so that they are not right in the middle of the recipe and pictures. I understand that the ads likely generate some revenue for you, but it really takes away from the experience of your otherwise beautiful and informational website. Just some hopefully constructive criticism.

      I use Opera web browser and it filters a good amount out.

      Same for me. As of late, it has gotten really bad. The ads and other items moving across the screen make it challenging to navigate the pages. LOVE your pictures, videos, and recipes!

    Hi Karina,
    I am writing to thank you for your amazing recipes and willingness to share them with us. Everything I have made from your blog has been amazing – full of flavor and simple to make. I never wonder if it will be good; if it’s a cafedelites recipe, it will be delicious. You are a gift to all of us who want to eat well without needing the skills of Julia Child!

    I made your Feta Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken last night. I used breasts and not thigh (as I like the flavor better). I also slathered the sun-dried tomato pesto on the outside of the chicken once stuffed. It was a hit! I also served it with Skinny Pasta noodles. I made a sauce with some butter, the leftover juices from the chicken, a little bit of blue cheese crumbles I had, and the remainder of my feta and sun-dried tomato pesto with some heavy whipping cream to make a sauce. There were no leftovers. Served it with roasted cauliflower and whole garlic cloves that I roasted with the cauliflower and then squeezed out of peel, mashed and mixed into the cauliflower.

      I could not agree more. I have just tried one recipe, and my hubby who is a very picky eater LOVED the Chicken Tikka Masala. Thank you so much. I will continue to use these recipes!! Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing these recipes. I am touched and inspired by your story. Stay strong Karina!

    In your Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe it calls for 2 bouillon cubes.My preferred brand would be Knorr’s but since I know all cubes are not the same strength, how can one be sure to use the correct amount?
