A traditional Slavic dish: Olivier salad

A traditional Slavic dish: Olivier salad

This is a traditional recipe for the parties and holidays in Slavic countries. No one knows where it came to former Soviet countries from, (we were a huge country with closed borders for decades), but this was the main salad of every celebration in almost every family for decades. I cook this salad very rarely and mainly in autumn and winter, as I consider this salad too conservative and even boring to cook it…

It’s dressed with a zesty mixture of lime juice, vinegar, olive oil and chile pep…

Mini Salmon Burgers over Spinach Salad

Mini Salmon Burgers over Spinach Salad

Does a healthy and quick (under 30 minutes) dinner, made primarily from what I had on hand in my pantry sound good?  + That’s what this dinner was, and it was a change of pace, tasty, and approved by both husband and 5 year old as good eats.  I’ve made similar patties using canned tuna, previously, so if you don’t have canned salmon on hand, try this with tuna instead… Mini Salmon Burg…

Quick Fix: Mixed-Mushroom Salad

Quick Fix: Mixed-Mushroom Salad

Sometimes you need a meal you can pull together out of just what happens to be in your cabinets. This is one of those meals… The other day I found several jars of marinated mushrooms, at the Dollar Store of all places. I picked up several different kinds… the one here was a mix of different mushroom types, which makes it even more interesting, but regular marinated mushrooms work as well. The nice…
