After marrying into a Polish family, I quickly discovered pierogis were a mainstay. This recipe was handed down to me by my mother-in-law. I added a little “Mel” to it, and….perfect pierogis!

Autumn Spice Madeleine Cookies
I recently discovered Madeliene Cookies and I love baking and making them. For this contest, I decided to use the base ingredients of Madeleine Cookies. After reading many recipes, I decided on what ingredients I wanted to try, adjust and or change for this new Madeleine recipe. These Autumn Spice Madeleine Cookies are new but maintain the beauty and essence of a traditional Madeleine Cookie. I call these cookies Autumn Spice Madeleine Cookies. Autumn Spice Madeleine Cookies are pretty, flavor bursting and filling little treats. This recipe substantially reduces the amount of butter used in a traditional Madeleine cookie. It also adds new flavors and color to a traditional Madeleine cookie.

Colorful Pickled Beet, Carrot, Egg, Smoked Salmon Mini Terrines & Horseradish Apple Cream
This is a visually pretty, individual mini-terrine made of root vegetables, grated and arranged with smoked fish and dressed with horseradish apple cream sauce and finely grated eggs. It is a beautiful appetizer or a side dish, and always perfect for brunch, with a side of thick hearty bread, and for those not faint of heart, a shot of apple flavored vodka. It incorporates the ingredients that I am familiar with in Eastern European cuisine, such as eggs, pickled beets, horseradish, cream, carrots, potatoes, and smoked fish.
