Today I used the rest of my fresh spinach to make this delicious Mushroom Spinach soup.
I made other mushroom soups in the past; here are the links to Lentils with Mushrooms and Asparagus, and Ukrainian Mushroom and Vegetable Soup. However, the spinach in this recipe adds a new dimension to it.
I used to purchase frozen Garlic Bread, or even the fresh one in the bakery section of my grocery store.
However, once I tried making it at home, I was sold on it, and it became my favorite accompaniment with pasta dishes or tossed salads.
It is simple to make, since you use ready-made French Baguette or Italian Bread.
The original recipe for this carrot salad was found on this site.
I have been searching for a recipe for this dish for a while, as many of my Ukrainian friends are very fond of it, yet I have never tasted it myself.
I decreased the amount of cayenne pepper in the original recipe to mellow the taste, as suggested by one of my friends who was familiar with this dish.
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.
If you like tangy-flavored soups, you will love Sorrel Borscht (Shchav or Shchavel), also referred to by others as Green Borscht. My first experience tasting this dish was in a Polish restaurant while visiting my family in Poland.
The special ingredient is sorrel, a simple herb/vegetable, however, not easily found in a grocery store, but rather in a specialty food shop, or grown in your garden.
