Vera is a friend of mine who is an excellent cook and a wonderful baker. I love all her recipes, and she shares them with anyone interested in trying them out.
Today, I will share her recipe for Blueberry Muffins, which are simple to make, require a few basic ingredients, and are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. She suggests mixing in anything you wish (fruits, berries, nuts, chocolate chips) and tweaking the recipe to your preference.
This recipe is a very old favorite of mine. It reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking days and my Sunday visits to her with my mom.
I love these fluffy dumplings because they are so light in texture, and so delicious served with melted butter and sugar.
This recipe dates back to my great-grandmother, who was of German descent, and most likely to her mother and grandmother, which would date back to the 1700s.
Jello desserts are great any time, but I love them that much more during the summer months.
Then again, how can you beat a Jell-O dessert mixed with cream cheese and fruit?
Americans enjoy sauerkraut on their hot dogs, but there are many different ways to use this pickled veggie in salads, cooking, and even in baking.
If you are craving Varenyky (also known as Pyrohy or Pierogi) but it is too hot to cook or you have no time for such a project, Palushky (Plachyky, Kopytka, or Gnocchi) is an excellent alternative.
It is simple, quick, and delicious. I love to serve mine with butter and sautéed onions, a dollop of sour cream, and a side vegetable dish like broccoli, mixed vegetables, or cooked carrots.
