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.

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.

Chickpeas and Spinach Soup – Vegetarian Recipe

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.

Multi-Grain Dumplings (Varenyky, Perogie) – Gluten Free Recipe

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.
