Tomato And Pickle Salad

This is one of the easiest salads you can make. It’s a great light and tangy side to any dinner, especially chicken or pork with mashed potatoes. If you’re not big on dairy, there is a variation without the sour cream, but I myself am 

Corn and Ham Salad

Corn and Ham Salad

I saw some beautiful corn ears at the market, and decided to make this filling yet refreshing salad. It’s great instead of a potato salad for summer picnics and bbq’s. I also like a small portion as breakfast. You can use canned corn or cook 

Deviled Eggs in Mushroom Gravy

Deviled Eggs in Mushroom Gravy

This is one of the simplest, fastest and most delicious things you can make with an egg. These deviled eggs always disappear like hot cakes at any party and I especially like to serve them around Easter. Because they’re served warm they’re also a brunch favorite.

This rustic favorite is a staple for any busy Polish home cook. It’s got the holy trinity of home cooking: easy, quick, delicious. The trade off is of course a big ol’ dose of calories. But as long as you’re ok with that, this dish is 

Traditional Biscuits

Traditional Biscuits

Not many people make biscuits now-a-days but they’re actually pretty easy. Extra easy if you have a food processor. I made these for breakfast, but they can easily be served with any meal. I’m a sucker for biscuits and gravy, but during corn season I

Truffle Popcorn

This easy recipe is what turned me from an adamant microwave popcorn person, to a DIY approach. The trick is to wait until a few kernels crack, so you know when the oil is hot enough, then placing your kernels on the heat. No burned pieces
