I used to purchase frozen Garlic Bread, or even the fresh one in the bakery section of my grocery store.

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.

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.
