I always wanted to try a Babka recipe, to taste the difference between Paska (Ukrainian Easter Bread) and the very popular Babka. This year I finally baked Babka and everyone loved its taste and texture.The recipe is basically the same as for Paska, but it requires 2x the amount of yeast and butter, 1/2 the amount of flour, but same amount of sugar, which you may decrease to your taste.
Most Catholic Christians already celebrated Easter this year on April 21st.
However Orthodox Christians, and some Catholics whose churches still follow the Julian Calendar, will celebrate Easter this Sunday, April 28th.
Trains can be so much fun to watch in motion, but they also make a great birthday party theme for boys or girls.My youngest granddaughter loves trains, so of course it was a perfect party theme for her 2nd birthday.Today I will share several pictures from the different decorations her mom creatively put together for this party.
I never thought I would like the taste of a veggie burger, so at first I purchased some frozen ones, Veggie Medley by Gardenburger, and realized that they were not as bad as I thought. Since I am not really a hamburger lover, veggie burger earned my approval.
I like making my own food at home, since it allows me to control what goes into it, and enables me to modify the recipe to my taste.
I looked up some recipes for veggie burgers, and came up with this modified version to fit The Fat Smash Diet.
Every time I see a ready assembled vegetable platter at a grocery store, just to pick up and go to a party, I cringe at its cost. I think it mostly reflects the price of labor, rather than the value of the veggies.
It doesn’t take a culinary genius to cut up raw vegetables, and to arrange them on a platter.
