Ukrainian Christmas Eve is not only rich in traditional foods prepared freshly that day (in today’s busy lifestyle, most of us prepare many food items ahead of time), but also shared by the family during the Christmas Eve 12-course meatless dinner. Additionally, numerous traditions are practiced before and after the meal.
Did you ever have a moment when you set your mind on preparing something specific for dinner, then realized that you were short on the quantity of the main ingredient?
The other day, I was set to make varenyky (Ukrainian word for Pierogi), and realized that I was one cup short of all-purpose flour and low on sour cream, so I added whole wheat flour, and used oil to fill in the gap.
Today I will share my recipe for Blueberry Filled Varenyky, which is so delicious when served with blueberry syrup and whipped cream or melted unsalted butter mixed with brown sugar and cream.
Today I would like to share a recipe for Baked Zucchini Fritters as a casserole.
Quick, easy, nutritious and tasty….why would anyone even think of asking for more :-).
Most popular mushrooms in the US, and most readily available, are the farm grown white mushrooms.
