Ukrainian Easter Egg (Pysanka) – Tradition And Design

Our family celebrates spring with preparations for Easter Sunday Holiday and decorating of Easter Eggs. There are many ways to decorate eggs, such us coloring them with edible dyes in all different pastel colors, placing colorful stickers, beads, ribbons, etc. on eggs, drawing designs with markers, etc. There is also a very intricate egg decorating style, which I will introduce you to, and that is the Ukrainian Easter Egg, Pysanka, design.

My parents were my first mentors, and story tellers, about this old tradition, which was very popular in their native countries, Ukraine and Poland, and continues to thrive in the Diaspora

Zucchini Rollups – Casserole Recipe with a Mexican Twist

I was looking for a recipe that was easy, tasty, and low in carbs, so I came up with a Zucchini Rollups Casserole. This recipe resembles Stuffed Shells with a Mexican twist, as I used Mild Salsa and Mexican blend shredded cheese, and the pasta was substituted with zucchini slices. If you prefer the Italian version, all you have to do is use different cheeses, spaghetti sauce, and Italian spices.
You may pair it up with a garden salad to have a scrumptious light lunch or dinner.
