Stuffed Cabbage (Galumpkis) is a very healthy dinner if prepared properly. I actually enjoy them but find them quite tedious to make. I was thinking that I could bypass all the steps and make it like a casserole, but only cook it on the stovetop. This was to be a test and it passed with [...]

I have been craving turkey and butternut and decided to come up with something that would be easy to make and yet give me the comfort of a turkey dinner without the work! Here it is. I remembered having something very similar at a buffet not too long ago but of course, I had to [...]

Here is a superb meal for anytime, but makes an incredible buffet offering. I recently had this at our school luncheon buffet and it was very tasty and filling. Brigitte, who is an incredible cook, made it and as you can see by the picture, it is moist and inviting! It is perfect for a [...]

Tortellini salad makes a nice light meal or side dish for any summer brunch, though I tend to think it deserves the respect to be served all year long. I like the idea of using a tri color tortellini to add some color to this salad. I also use fresh chopped vegetables and an Italian dressing. [...]
