When I married my Czech hubby, I was introduced to some new foods. One of which was celery root (aka celeriac). This is a rather ugly looking root vegetable, but the flavor is delightful! I came up with this fairly light soup that includes both celery root and celery stalks. The root helps thicken the soup so that I need only use milk to give it creaminess. For me, it’s the ultimate in comfort food, and yet it can be a rather elegant start to many nice meals.
Memory from my childhood. Our favourite fall sweets.
This recipe helps eliminate food waste (since most people discard the beetroot’s stems) while also creating a uniquely tasty and simple side-dish filled with flavors and nutrients. It’s a total win! This dish is a unique family recipe that my grandpa (who lived until he was 100 years old) absolutely adored!
All summer long my family absolutely loves a simple salad of thin sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, because is fresh and pretty much can be eaten with any dish. But if you are busy person as I am, I am sure you don’t have time to make this salad everyday.
This is a trick that i discovered if you want to “meal-prep” when you have a few extra minutes that tastes really good.
When searching for the ultimate healthy dinner, I decided to put a twist on a stuffed chicken breast. I wanted to maximize the benefits in the ingredients to promote thyroid health without sacrificing taste.
A spin on a childhood staple, this Greek meatloaf is tender, juicy and full of flavor. The feta adds bites of saltiness and creaminess. And the zesty kicks of garlic and onion are soothed with the refreshing, cool tzatziki sauce. Your mouth will be syrtaki dancing in delight.
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!
This Pierogi Breakfast Casserole is the ultimate lazy perogy casserole made with frozen perogies. Make-ahead and chock-full of yummy perogy and breakfast things like cheese, eggs, dill, sauerkraut, bacon bits and onions, it’s the perfect breakfast potluck dish because everyone loves perogies!
A trial and error recipe that was inspired by Bomboloni (Italian Doughnut) and making it into a savory meaty version.
