Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
WHY is it the we Canadians are not allowed to enter your give a ways??? You love so many to subscribe to your recipes, in which I love so many of them…I went & got myself some of those pots…my daughter to which has cancer & in the fight of her life would so love to have those pots also for her cooking.
As I mentioned that you have bunches of people outside of the USA & we are not allowed to enter. WHY????? not fair if you ask my opinion. Just wondering WHY; why not????? I’ve been a subscriber with you now since the very first house, then into your next one to being in your much bigger white & spacious one..gosh, how I’d love your kitchen.
Hi Janet, when the giveaways are provided by the brand, they often dictate where a product can be shipped. Some of them don’t ship to various areas and they specify if that is the case. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Subscribed! I’ve tried many of your wonderful recipes – thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Hi Natalie and thank you for subscribing. 🙂
I am not sure why I haven’t subscribed to your blog by now because, ever since I learned about it, I check it at least once a week and try most of your new recipes and search through your older posts as well. I will be glad to get emails letting me know that something new is waiting for me. =) I sometimes wonder why the tastes of our families are so similar. Is it because we come from the same country? Pretty much everything I cooked using your recipes was a great success! Thank you for everything you do! I became a much better and creative cook because of you. I like how you not only say what to do but explain why to do it. Many “secrets” of cooking now make sense to me and give me courage to experiment in the kitchen. My experiments were rarely successful before, but I am getting better results now thanks to you. Please don’t disappear from your blog for too long after your daughter is born because I am sure she will keep you busy. =) May God bless you and your family!
Awww thanks so much Lyuda :). You’re so sweet :). I’m trying to work extra hard now to get recipes ready in advance. I hope my plan is successful :). My hubby and I work full time on the blog so hopefully between the two of us, you won’t starve ;). I’m so happy to hear that the recipes are inspiring you. That’s awesome!!

I have re-created so many of your recipes and they were a success – each one of them. I love that you continue to improve this blog and I love that you stay committed to your subscribers!
Keep up the good work, and a BIG thank you from me!!! You are awesome!
