Ukrainian Meatballs with Cabbage – Eastern European Recipe

Most of us here in the US are used to preparing meatballs in tomato sauce, however, Eastern Europeans customized this dish to their taste and ingredients.
You will enjoy this dish if you like Cabbage Rolls (Holubtsi – in Ukrainian, or Golabki – in Polish).

Ukrainian Meatballs with Mushrooms – Recipe

Eastern Europeans like meatballs with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, and a side dish of well-seasoned sautéed cabbage.

For those who do not like mushrooms (like some of my family members), Meatballs with Cabbage is another variation to enjoy.

Crustless Spinach Quiche – Recipe

Quiche sounds like something complicated to prepare, but on the contrary, I would categorize this dish preparation as Cooking 101.

Also, it is such a versatile dish as it may be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or brought to a party.

Exotic Red Beet Salad – Recipe

Even if you have never been a big fan of red beets, I highly recommend this recipe, and I am sure you will LOVE it.

Jello Gem Cream Roll – Donna’s Recipe

My sister-in-law shared this Jello Gem Cream Roll recipe, but I slightly changed the filling instructions.  She used one flavor of jello which was not fully set yet, to sweeten and add color to her whipped cream filling.  I chose to use 3 different jello flavors, let each fully set, then cut them into small “gems” and gently fold them into the whipped cream to create the mosaic effect.
