Beef Stew – (Pressure Cooker Recipe)

A soup, chili, or stew is one of those satisfying comfort foods we look forward to on a chilly day.   My grandchildren enjoy this dish as well, so I occasionally prepare it for them as well. Preparing beef stew on top of the stove, the traditional way could be time-consuming, but it only takes 15 minutes in a pressure cooker.

Easy Garlic Bread – Recipe

I used to purchase frozen Garlic Bread, or even the fresh one in the bakery section of my grocery store.
However, once I tried making it at home, I was sold on it, and it became my favorite accompaniment with pasta dishes or tossed salads.
It is simple to make, since you use ready-made French Baguette or Italian Bread.

Fruit tarts always look so fresh, inviting, and mouth-watering. I was inspired by a recipe I found online, which I altered slightly and baked my own delicious fruit tart.

Delicious Homemade Rolls – Based on a Japanese Recipe

I have been searching the internet for a recipe resembling specific rolls dating back to the early ’70s, as per my memory of summer camps in Ellenville, NY.   Mrs. Kormeluk was the cook at that time, baking these rolls daily, and serving them with a cup of cold milk as an afternoon snack for all the campers.

I have tried several recipes and my children were my judges for the texture and flavor of these rolls, as they also remembered them from their camp in the ’90s.  However, this time they were baked by Mrs. Tinio.  

Korean Flavored Carrot Salad – Koreyska Morkva

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.

I decreased the amount of cayenne pepper in the original recipe to mellow the taste, as suggested by one of my friends who was familiar with this dish.
