All those pumpkins out there from Halloween decorations can be turned into pumpkin paste and baked into a nice Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Roll, Pumpkin Cheesecake…etc.
If you are like me and leave that pumpkin out there until Thanksgiving, and purchase ready-made pumpkin paste for your baking, then your are ahead of the game with your baking.
Today I will share may recipe for a Pumpkin Roll which my family loves.
Even though many Ukrainians love making Kolachky, I have been informed that the recipe actually traces back to Slovakia.
My sister in-law loves making these, and shared her recipe with me, so now I am working on perfecting these as well.
They are so light, flaky and delicious. You can fill them with fruity jams, lekvar or poppy seed filling, but I am convinced that the walnut filing is the best in taste as well as keeping the shape of these cookies during baking time.
These Pecan Tartlets will leave a memorable impression on your dessert plate and everyone’s palate.
Although they may look complicated to prepare, using a tart shaper tool makes shaping the dough into the tart cups a breeze. To prevent the dough from sticking to the tool, it helps to dip it in flour before each application.
My next few posts will include the cookie recipes I introduced in my Christmas cookie post.
I am starting with my favorite cookies, the Cream Wafers. If you read the ingredients, you might not be able to envision how decadent these really are. They are very light and flaky, resemble a puff pastry, and practically melt in your mouth.
Italian Wedding soup is almost a whole meal in one bowl, as you have the broth, the veggies, the little meatballs, and pasta or rice.
My daughter makes this soup for her family, as her children love the little meatballs in the soup, so I also added it to my list of soups I prepare at home and often share with them.
