Potato Latkes

Celebrate Hanukkah (December 25-Jan 2) with a traditional classic! These crispy potato pancakes are a welcome dish all year.

Great idea for Halloween and Thanksgiving!

How cool is this? Use the pumpkin as the serving bowl for this Rice and Vegetables dish. If you don’t like rice with fruits, substitute meat instead, and add different herbs. Rice can be replaced with potatoes too.

What’s in season

From cakes and quick breads to pies and pancakes, everything benefits from the sweet and spiced flavor of pumpkin.

Autumn is here…

Keep warm as the weather turns cooler with these easy fall recipes!

Grill time!

Warmer weather means it’s time for backyard burgers, tender kebabs, sizzling steaks, BBQ ribs, cold refreshing drinks and gatherings of family and friends.

Chicken Piccata

Chicken Piccata are chicken breast cutlets coated in flour, fried and served with a sauce of butter, lemon juice, white wine or broth and capers. Simple ingredients, but the result are great, delicious, and tasty!

Slow cooker (crock pot)

Slow cooking allows flavors to steep and blend together. It circulates heat and liquid so food stays moist.

Breakfast

Whether it’s a special occasion, or just the weekend, one of these breakfast ideas will be the best part of waking up!

Love my garden

I love gardening so much, it makes my world beautiful. I have a vegetable/herb garden, flower gardens, fruit trees and berries. When I am outside I feel happy, too bad we don’t have nice weather all year but when we do, we are gardening! 😉

The other 11 pounds will go to making a 'nalivka' with gooseberries. Nalivka is an alcoholic drink made from different fruits and berries(apple, pear, apricot, cherry,...

A very sweet treat! Usually the meringue is too sweet for me but with the cream and berries it helps balance it a lot. The cream adds another texture and the tart berries balance out the sweetness of the meringue.The finished meringue can be stored without the cream in a sealed box, but not in the fridge!...

Also you can add herbs to your taste: parsley, dill, cilantro, or a mixture of Italian herbs. I'm using Ukrainian cheese for this dish called "Brinza", it's similar to feta cheese or another goat cheese. Alternatively you can use mozzarella....
