A Polish Girl In An American Kitchen
This has been one of my favorite dishes since I started learning how to cook. It’s easy and delicious. I have recipes that swap-in whole wheat pasta to try to be more “healthy” – the flavors usually don’t go! But this recipe was made with …
These are so fricken good! I love the flavor of celery root – definitely underrated. The croquettes may take you a few tries, since the mass is a moist and sticky, which can make the dredging difficult if you’re a novice. But it is so …
This salad is an Aggie original. You can pretty much put anything in a salad and the same goes for a vinaigrette, which is a lot easier to make than you think. I’ve made many variations of this salad often adding apples or making a …

Twarozek is definitely a Polish breakfast staple. It’s great eaten on the side like a small salad or on top of bread like a thick spread. Farmers cheese can be scarce, so I often use cottage cheese instead, especially the small curd type. It also …
