Pelmeni Recipe (Russian Dumplings)

February 26, 2021 by Faith 2 Comments

This Pelmeni recipe for Russian dumplings is cold-weather comfort food that features a savory meat filling, and is delicious served with sour cream and fresh dill. The first time I had Pelmeni was at a Russian restaurant called Ruz Us in Arlington, Virginia with a friend. (Side Note: For me, one of the best things about living in the DC metro area was access to foods from so many different cultures!) After that I had them in Warsaw, Poland. I liked them so much, I started actively looking for this dish on menus!...

This Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff recipe has tender pieces of beef and egg noodles in a savory creamy sauce. It’s a quick and hearty one-pot meal in the electric pressure cooker that is sure to become a favorite family dinner! Growing up I had a few favorite dinners that my mom made from time to time. Spaghetti with meat sauce was one of them. It was as simple as spaghetti with meat sauce can be: browned meat, canned sauce, and spaghetti noodles. But it was pure bliss, especially when she made garlic bread with it....

April 25, 2016 by Faith 7 Comments

Quick Mushroom Beef Stroganoff Skillet Supper comes together in 30 minutes for an easy weeknight dinner. When mom comes over for dinner, it’s always a little nerve-wracking thinking about what to make. Not because she’s picky in general (although like most people, she has a few things that she absolutely will not touch), but because when I make new-to-her-things, it’s hit or miss as to whether or not they’ll go over well. The last time mom came over for dinner I decided to go with an old classic: Beef Stroganoff!...

Borscht Recipe (Russian-Style Beet Soup)

November 6, 2013 by Faith 33 Comments

The flavor of this Borscht Recipe (Russian-Style Beet Soup) is bright and complex, beautifully sweet and sour. The natural sweetness from beets and carrots balance a splash of vinegar added at the end. Beef makes it hearty and filling, and potato and hint of tomato paste add depth and thicken the broth slightly. Until I made this soup, I have never had Borscht in my life, which is strange because my dad has Russian roots. But what’s even stranger is that I had been craving this soup for a good month before I caved in and made it!...
