Pickled Beets (Cwikla)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

This is wonderful cwikla! Made as directed, but used a combo of white balsamic and red wine vinegar, a touch more sugar, and both cloves and caraway. It was a hit at the Polish birthday party I attended this past Saturday and it will replace my... — Vina Jun 23, 2009

Hot Vodka with Honey (Krupnik)

Posted by ~Rita~  

Rita, I love your recipe for this...so much so that I've merged your recipe with my family's by omitting the sugar, using 2 full cups of honey, lowering the water to 2 cups, adding the juice of the orange as well as the zest, and increasing the... — Vina Jun 23, 2009

Almond Roca Fruit Pie (A K A: Toffee Crumb Fruit Pie)

Posted by Cookgirl  

Oh...my...fat...fanny! This is too delicious! I made my own cherry pie filling with frozen cherries, added some almond extract to it, and proceeded as written. I already love Almond Roca candy, but this put it into outer space, and my family... — Vina Apr 12, 2009

I've got this on my menu for this week, authentic or not. It sounds absolutely delicious. A good recipe is a good recipe, regardless of what it's titled and whether or not it's the way others would make it.....I'll add to this review after... — Vina Mar 26, 2009

Beans & Barley Restaurant's Three-Cheese Enchilada Casserole

Posted by LondonKarma  

This is perfect! I used two 14 oz. cans of Rotel tomatoes that I pureed because I don't relish canned tomato chunks. Because they were the hot variety, I omitted the pepper flakes and jalapeno. Used corn tortillas. We loved this so much and I... — Vina Dec 7, 2008

Polish Dill Pickle Soup

Posted by ~Rita~  

Zupa Ogorki!! Rita, this is wonderful. My great aunt used to make a soup very similar to this, using her homemade hot, spicy pickles and leftover mashed potatoes. So that's how I proceeded. Don't even want to hint at how much of this I ate... — Vina Nov 5, 2008

Crock Pot Chili Dogs

Posted by bmcnichol  

I made a huge roaster of these for my daughter's and son-in-law's post-wedding party! They were one of three hot sandwich options and were cleaned out before the other two (very tasty) offerings. I used about 20 hot dogs for the same amount of... — Vina Nov 4, 2008

Couscous for Breakfast!

Posted by Cookgirl  

This is a wonderful recipe. I make multiples of the recipe, dividing all of the dry ingredients into plastic food containers. The wet ingredients go into the smallest size food containers and are put into the fridge to be ready to grab on the... — Vina Nov 1, 2008

Smoky Beans

Posted by KeyWee  

This was a HUGE hit at my daughter's party this summer and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to review the recipe. I made them vegetarian by using no meat baked beans and omitting the bacon and sausage. I did add a Tbl of Tabasco Chipotle Sauce to... — Vina Oct 18, 2008

Oven Roast Greek Potatoes

Posted by Kate in Ontario  

I have made these so many times, but didn't realize until right now that I hadn't rated them. All I can say is this....in my family of potato fiends, these are quite often the requested recipe. I always have to a least double, if not triple the... — Vina Oct 18, 2008

Bisquick Velvet Coconut Cake

Posted by Gingerbee  

A wonderful cake, and so easy to make! I doubled the recipe to make in a 9x13 pan, using 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. almond extracts, as I was using almonds in the topping. Kept 1/3 for myself and took the rest to work....and it literally vanished... — Vina Oct 1, 2008

Greek Souvlaki

Posted by CountryLady  

Amazingly delicious and easy dish. I used boneless pork country ribs, simply because I was feeding a lot and the other cuts were way too expensive. When making for four, I will definitely try the lamb. Perfect blend of herbs, garlic, onion and... — Vina Sep 15, 2008

Hash

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by MaeEast  

This is exactly my mom's recipe, the only difference being is that she put leftover potatoes and beef through a meat grinder, along with the raw onion and often a green pepper. As much as I loved her Sunday pot roast, Tuesday night's leftover... — Vina Aug 27, 2008

Nogales Steak Tacos

Perfect! I grilled these at a family beach picnic yesterday and every carnivore there went nuts for them. The one herbivore went nuts for the pickled onions wrapped in tortillas with other veggie goodies. I grilled the poblano chilies with the... — Vina Aug 18, 2008

Ginger's "Dorito" Soup (Spicy Tomato Soup)

I'm eating this as I type....added about 1/2 tsp. sambal oelek, as I had no crushed red pepper flakes, and also added 1/2 tsp. of Chipotle Tabasco sauce. Made it in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until the cheese was melted and... — Vina Aug 6, 2008

I made this for my daughter and SIL's reception and, despite there being dozens of other dishes, this is one that was down to crumbs. Very easy to make, with a pleasing flavor that was spicy without being too hot for anyone. In fact, I think the... — Vina Jun 10, 2008

Jalapeno Peach Spread

I made this for my daughter and SIL's wedding reception. Because I'd made so many other dishes, I cut this by 1/3, but I shouldn't have done so. Everyone really liked it, two platters of it were cleaned, and I had many requests for the recipe.... — Vina Jun 10, 2008
