Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip – Low Calorie Recipe

Dips take center stage among party foods.

Everyone loves having their favorite dip surrounded by veggies or chips while socializing and enjoying themselves.

I already shared the infamous original Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip recipe, but after tasting a much lighter version I had to share the recipe.

Apricot Sheet Cake – Recipe

Apricot Cake is a must on our dessert platter, especially when our sons are visiting us for the holidays.

They enjoy most of my baked goods, but this one is their favorite, maybe because they can’t find it anywhere else.

A friend of mine, who is not a big fan of apricots, gave this cake a five-star rating…:-).

Marinated Mushrooms – Recipe

Ukrainians looooove mushrooms. They incorporate mushrooms into numerous everyday recipes, but especially for their Christmas Eve 12-course meatless meal.

Traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve menu will include mushrooms in Mushroom soup, varenyky filling (pierogi), Holubtsi filling (Cabbage Rolls), Vooshka filling (dumplings that accompany Ukrainian Christmas Borscht), mushroom gravy (referred to as, Machka, in some households), mushrooms with cabbage, and of course marinated mushrooms.

Ginger Chocolate Truffles – Recipe

Here is another melt-in-your-mouth recipe for your enjoyment.  I chose this one for those who are not so much into cookie baking.

However,  if you wish to check out more of my favorite cookie recipes, please click on this link Christmas cookies.

Ukrainian Doughnuts – Anna’s Recipe

My mom made the best homemade doughnuts, using her European recipe.  Hers are so much better than the quick recipe I used before. 

Every Christmas Eve my mom joined us for dinner, and always brought in a huge platter of freshly made doughnuts.  We all are still reminiscing about those sweet memories.

Today I will share that recipe with you all, in memory of my mom’s baking and cooking.
