Herbed Lemonade
Got this idea from a farm box subscription and it’s absolutely awesome. Best lemonade I’ve ever had and that is seconded by my friends. Not sure why this isn’t a more popular thing yet, but you must try it! Tip: you can also do it …

Watermelon Feta Salad
Big fan of watermelon and feta in the summer. But I do feel that it often needs a little something extra like blueberries and mint or basil. This salad is often shown as a “pizza” served on top of a watermelon wedge. It looks pretty, …
Herring Salad (Sledzie w Salatce)
I absolutely love herring (sledzie) but I understand they may not be for everyone. If you haven’t yet been converted, but would like to give it a try, this salad is a great gateway to herring heaven. On the other side, if you already love …
Creamy Carrot and Apple Soup
I love making this soup right at the beginning of fall, before it gets too cold (or anytime in SoCal since it’s never cold lol). It’s warm but refreshing. And the bright color is fun. I also often serve it for Thanksgiving. If you enjoy …

Herring is a traditional dish served in Poland at every party, holiday, and often eaten for breakfast as well as supper. There are many ways to prepare the herring, and this is one of the less common ones. Rolmopsy are a German style herring that’s …
Smalec (Polish Bacon Butter)
Smalec is an all time favorite for every Pole. It’s always present for celebrations and feasts, eaten at home as a snack, and regularly served with beer at pubs and bars. This recipe is for a home-style smalec, which is more chunkey. Many people leave …
