Refreshing Tomato Salad – Recipe

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.

Ukrainian Potato Salad (Olivie) – European Recipe

There are so many different versions of Potato Salad, but once you taste this one, it will be your favorite.
It is very similar to the Suburban Potato Salad, but it contains a few different ingredients, such as spicier mustard but no apple.  In Ukraine many cooks add cubed smoked sausage (Kovbasa) to this salad, making it even richer in taste and texture.

Strawberry Napoleon Dessert – Recipe

I love the creaminess of the custard filling in a Napoleon dessert, the flakiness of the pastry layers, and the sweetness of the glazed top, accented with dark chocolate.

It was an easy project, thanks to Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry dough, instant pudding mix, my home grown strawberries, and fresh whipped cream.

Challah Bread – Simple Recipe

I was always impressed by the look of braided challah bread since it looked complicated to create out of dough.  I enjoy challenging myself, so I decided to make one of my own and share my experience with all of you.

Honey Cake Maria – Family Recipe

I am very lucky to be surrounded by many excellent bakers in my and my husband’s side of the family, who also love to share their recipes.

I have been baking honey cakes for a very long time now, and love them all, but this one is even lighter in texture and consists of other special ingredients, hence the recipe for Honey Cake Maria.
