These Ukrainian Easter Eggs were decorated by my Great-Aunt Anna Kril Bart (Bartoszewska) and her children, in Queens, New York, over 80 years ago. The “sticks” displayed in front of the platter, are homemade styluses, used for drawing the outlines for the design on these eggs. The stylus handles were made from tree twigs, and the metal funnels were made from a metal can cut out…..such was life even in New York, USA, many years ago.
I have some wonderful Jewish friends preparing to celebrate the Passover Holiday.
I have previously prepared and posted several Passover recipes, but today I am providing pictures and links for your convenience.
The whole process of decorating a pysanka, consists of twelve basic steps listed in this post. I have chosen a very basic egg design for the first egg, and if you purchased an egg decorating kit, you will find several other designs to choose from for your next projects.
I prepared this soup for my family, and it received high approval, so I decided to share the recipe with all my blogging friends.
It is very simple and quick to prepare and loaded with healthy and nutritious ingredients. I made it with vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian, but it would also be just as delicious with chicken broth.
Verenyky, Pierogi, Perogy, Pyrohy, Dumplings, no matter what you call them, you will find them on every Eastern European menu.
This time I used Gluten Free Pizza Crust Whole Grain Mix, and the dumplings turned out awesome. I have yet to try Gluten Free flour by King Arthur, which is currently available at most grocery stores.
