Vera’s Blueberry Muffins – Recipe

Vera is a friend of mine who is an excellent cook and a wonderful baker.  I love all her recipes, and she shares them with anyone interested in trying them out.
Today, I will share her recipe for Blueberry Muffins, which are simple to make, require a few basic ingredients, and are melt-in-your-mouth delicious.  She suggests mixing in anything you wish (fruits, berries, nuts, chocolate chips) and tweaking the recipe to your preference.

Steamed Fruit Dumplings – Recipe and Technique

This recipe is a very old favorite of mine. It reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking days and my Sunday visits to her with my mom.
I love these fluffy dumplings because they are so light in texture, and so delicious served with melted butter and sugar.
This recipe dates back to my great-grandmother, who was of German descent, and most likely to her mother and grandmother, which would date back to the 1700s.

Potato Dumplings (Palushky)

If you are craving Varenyky (also known as Pyrohy or Pierogi) but it is too hot to cook or you have no time for such a project, Palushky (Plachyky, Kopytka, or Gnocchi) is an excellent alternative.

It is simple, quick, and delicious. I love to serve mine with butter and sautéed onions, a dollop of sour cream, and a side vegetable dish like broccoli, mixed vegetables, or cooked carrots.

Chickpeas and Spinach Soup – Vegetarian Recipe

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.
