Beef Stroganoff My Way
An old standby brought current. Succulent slices of beef tenderloin intertwined with hearty pasta and a luscious sour cream sauce.

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.
Healthy Summer Squash Quesadilla
Living alone can be hard when cooking. Made this recipe to use up some left over tortillas and ended up with the perfect amount.
Vegan Serbian Cheese Burek
This is a vegan twist on a Serbian dish using a simple and easy to make tofu ricotta, that is pleasingly placed between flakey pieces of filo pastry.
Tara’s Peaches and Cream Cheese Kolachies
We would stop and buy these little treats at a gas station whenever we went down south in the summer. I just didn’t want to wait until then to get another one so figured out a recipe for it on my own.
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.
Rounder
MY favorite fast go-to appetizer.
Kielbasa Potato Soup
A thick and hearty soup with Kielbasa and vegetables
Honey Walnut Cake
European honey cakes are notorious for being adequate substitutes for door stops. Not this one. It’s a light and fluffy orange-scented wonder that almost melts in the mouth. My grandmother and her kitchen helper had to use plenty of elbow grease to get it that way. Today we have the electric stand mixer to do the job.
