Mushroom Spinach Soup – Recipe

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.

Easy Garlic Bread – Recipe

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.

Korean Flavored Carrot Salad – Koreyska Morkva

The original recipe for this carrot salad was found on this site.  
Since many of my Ukrainian friends raved about this unfamiliar salad to me, I was determined to find and prepare a recipe that would suit my taste.

Due to its quite spicy flavor, I decreased the amount of cayenne pepper to mellow the taste a bit to please my taste buds.

Steamed Fruit Dumplings – Recipe and Technique

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.
