Eastern Europeans like meatballs with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, and a side dish of well-seasoned sautéed cabbage.
For those who do not like mushrooms (like some of my family members), Meatballs with Cabbage is another variation to enjoy.
Even if you have never been a big fan of red beets, I highly recommend this recipe, and I am sure you will LOVE it.
I had this salad at my friend’s house and loved it much more than the regular red beet vinaigrette we prepare at Easter, hence it became my favorite way to use red beets in a salad.
My sister-in-law shared this Jello Gem Cream Roll recipe, but I slightly changed the filling instructions. She used one flavor of jello which was not fully set yet, to sweeten and add color to her whipped cream filling. I chose to use 3 different jello flavors, let each fully set, then cut them into small “gems” and gently fold them into the whipped cream to create the mosaic effect.
The hot summer weather does not seem to be going away any time soon, hence it is a perfect time to enjoy this summer dessert.
Spend these hot summer days on the beach, in the mountains, or wherever your favorite place might be, but definitely not in your kitchen.
Meatless dishes are a welcome change to our family’s daily routine of meat based meals.
Today I will post one of the tomato salads my mom used to prepare, which brings back many childhood memories.
