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!…

Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe

February 22, 2021 by Faith 17 Comments

Rich and velvety, this Creamy Tomato Soup uses canned tomatoes and other pantry staples like olive oil and dried Italian herbs combined with onion and garlic for deep flavor. It comes together in 20 minutes, and is comfort food at its finest! Toward the end of summer I was tomato-obsessed, going to the farmers’ market to buy tomatoes by the half-bushel almost every other week. Since, as I’m sure you can well imagine, it’s not possible for two people to go through all those tomatoes (despite my summer salad obsession), I had a few adventures in canning....

Drinking Chocolate (aka French Hot Chocolate) is rich and smooth with deep chocolate flavor. It literally tastes like you’re drinking a melted chocolate bar!

Yup, 9 years, gone by in what basically feels like the blink of an eye....

Banana Muffins Recipe with Crumb Topping

January 25, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Banana Muffins Recipe yields moist, tender muffins that are scented of vanilla, cinnamon, and banana with a delicious brown sugar oat crumble topping. They’re the perfect thing to make when you have just one banana to use up! I love bananas, but I don’t typically eat them as-is. Bananas are one of those fruits that I don’t usually buy until I need them for a specific recipe. And then for some reason I’m inevitably left with a couple extra bananas!...

If you have leftover steak on hand, whip up this easy, flavorful Leftover Steak Soup Recipe in just 30 minutes! With just 3g net carbs per serving it’s naturally low carb and keto, and with sweet paprika, thyme, and caraway seeds it’s reminiscent of Gulaschsuppe, which is a classic dish in Germany and Hungary. I like to grill steak about once a week year-round. I use an outdoor grill in the warmer months, and a grill pan when it’s chilly outside. It’s so easy to throw a couple steaks on the grill (or grill pan) along with some sliced zucchini and corn on the cob, or […]...

Maple Glazed Chicken Recipe

January 15, 2021 by Faith 20 Comments

With a combination of maple, stone-ground mustard, fresh thyme, and garlic, this 15-minute Maple Glazed Chicken Recipe is as flavorful as it is easy! There’s something about this meal (or maybe it’s my photos of this meal) that screams ‘70’s to me. Which is a little weird because I wasn’t even born yet in the ‘70’s! But I think I’m remembering episodes of The Brady Brunch, which I used to watch like it was my job when I was growing up. I was convinced I was Jan and my younger sister was a combo of both Marcia and Cindy, lol....
