“In under ten minutes you have a gourmet shrimp and Vodka sauce that is so easy to make. I came up with this recipe to have Vodka sauce the way I like it, a bit on the sweet side, a bit spicy and lightly creamed with just a mild vodka taste. It is easy to make and takes only a few minutes to put together….
I have played around with quiches and experimented a lot! I don’t like them too airy or too stiff or too dry. I want them soft, but firm enough to make a nice cut. This comes out perfectly every time, any way. Typically asparagus is paired with swiss cheese in quiches. Use whatever cheese you like! I am partial to cheddar so I use…

This classic dish has gone through many versions and updates over the years. Here is the classic and tasty version of Chicken á la King I grew up with. We like it served plain like this. Sometimes I add vegetables to the cream sauce, but most often I add vegetables as a side dish to this. If you have cooked chicken ready, this takes…
Cornish Pasties! The real deal! I first tasted a pastie in a little tiny shop in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England and I got hooked on them! I cannot say enough about how delicious they are! They are made with all different combinations of meats and vegetables. I wish you could get one in as many U.S. shops like you can in England! It seemed like pasty shops…
I love Golumpkies! This is my version which is based on the way my mother made these cabbage rolls, or “Golumpkies”, which is pronounced many different ways! She served them with ketchup on the side. I changed it a little bit and added ketchup inside the filling as well. Some people serve them with tomato sauce. My dear Polish friend Anna taught me…
Wienerschnitzel is my first choice when I go to a German restaurant! I love veal! Any way! Many people think Wienerschnitzel is a German dish, but it really originated in Austria. “Wiener” is Viennese for Vienna, Austria. Typically it is served with a slice of lemon, sautéed apples, potatoes of some kind, like buttered potatoes with parsley or warm or cold potato salad and…
Homemade pizza with crumbled ground beef…. delicious! This is with a homemade dough, but you can use store-bought dough to make it easier. Enjoy!

Nothing compares to a homemade version of Split Pea Soup! I like it with the ham and vegetables diced small, although I’ve seen some pea soups with large pieces of ham and vegetables, more like a stew. That is up to you. The history of split pea soup goes way back to 500 BC! Some countries use bacon or sausage instead of ham. Some countries…
