Whenever we decide to change our eating habits, we search for new recipes to expand our culinary horizons.
Today I prepared this very nutritious and high-protein Baby Lima Bean Vinaigrette salad, which fits perfectly in the Fat Smash Diet menu I am currently following.
Sauerkraut soup, also known as “Kapusnyak”- in Ukrainian, or “Kapusniak” – in Polish, is a very refreshing, zestful, and nutritious soup.
Pork and sauerkraut dishes are part of every Eastern European restaurant menu, and the main ingredients are a popular staple in every household.
Christmas celebration on December 24-25, and New Year on December 31-1,(Gregorian calendar), are well-known dates to the majority of the population, however, per the Julian calendar, Christmas was celebrated on January 6-7, some called it Orthodox Christmas, and the New Year was celebrated on January 13-14.
As of this year, 2024, Catholic and Orthodox Ukrainians in UKRAINE and around the world joined together, separated themselves from their oppressor Russia, and began celebrating these holidays according to the GREGORIAN calendar.
Ukrainians call this New Year “Malanka”, the day of St. Melania, or “Generous Eve” (Shchedryi Vechir).
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…:-).
