Mother’s Day is for mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers, godmothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, and all the special women in our lives who act as our mothers.
Mother’s Day is a perfect time to express your feelings and appreciation to any and all of the special women in your life.
Easter is such a beautiful holiday, but here in the US, it does not even get close to the vast recognition that Christmas is showered with.
My family and I feel very lucky to be familiar with and able to practice the Ukrainian Easter traditions. Besides the 40 days of the Great Lent and the different church services from Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday, there is the traditional Easter Basket Blessing, which takes place at our church on Holy Saturday, or right after the Sunrise Easter Sunday Liturgy in other parishes.
I prepared this soup for my family, and it received high approval, so I decided to share the recipe with all my blogging friends.
It is very simple and quick to prepare and loaded with healthy and nutritious ingredients. I made it with vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian, but it would also be just as delicious with chicken broth.
Verenyky, Pierogi, Perogy, Pyrohy, Dumplings, no matter what you call them, you will find them on every Eastern European menu.
This time I used Gluten Free Pizza Crust Whole Grain Mix, and the dumplings turned out awesome. I have yet to try Gluten Free flour by King Arthur, which is currently available at most grocery stores.
Here is another meatless dish that is quick, easy, and nutritious.
Perfect for a busy mom who strives to serve her family a healthy meal.
These are perfect alone or accompanied by a nice serving of garden salad or a bowl of your favourite soup.This recipe serves 2-4.
