A Polish Girl In An American Kitchen
This pasta salad looks like it’s nothing new, but the mushroom broth in the dressing adds a new and unexpected punch to this traditional dish. The original recipe from “Kuchnia Polska” soaks and boils dried porcinis to make the mushroom broth, and then adds the mushrooms …
This wonky salad is definitely not expected. It’s got a very eclectic mix of ingredients that somehow all come together to be confusingly delicious. The original recipe is from “Kuchnia Polska” so in theory it’s a Polish dish. You can easily make this vegetarian by …
This is my all time favorite thing to bake. I love pumpkin and it’s so easy! Who knew flaxseed could be so good. Not only that, but according to “The New American Plate” it’s full of fiber, phytochemical lignans, and omega-3 fatty acids. The pumpkin …
