Welcome to Margie's Musings
Welcome to my BLOG! I write about whatever I want, mostly food and random stories I'm trying to write. I hope you enjoy it. In loving kindness....
This was really good. And very pretty. You can tell we liked it by how much is gone in the photo! It fed us for 2 days. Shared some with my neighbor who also really liked it. Give it a try with plums or experiment with other fruits. Adapted from a David Lebovitz's adaptation of a recipe from Marion Burros.
This week I went back to my Ukrainian roots. My Dad was Ukrainian and this is one of the meals my Mom would make for him. Mom was not Ukrainian but she was always happy to make food my Dad liked. Halushki is one of those dishes that many countries in that part of Europe make, just had slightly different names. I've updated it just a tad by using olive oil instead of bacon fat. My Mom, of course, made it with bacon. This recipe is from a cookbook I got back in the 60's. It is called the Book of Golden Recipes and was compiled by St. Anne's Ukrainian Byzantine in Youngstown, Ohio.
So are you getting tired of corn on the cob? Does anyone ever get tired of corn on the cob? Well I do. Here is something else to do with corn on the cob: make soup. This is a fun soup because you roast most of the ingredients and use the corn cobs. How cool is that? This is vegan.
Pretty sure anyone who actually knows how to make Minestrone is going to cringe when they read this "no recipe" recipe. I used to follow Minestrone recipes, but at some point I figured out what I liked and went from there. I hope you enjoy the creativity of this recipe and give yourself permission to make it up as you go! This can be vegetarian or vegan.
Here are two pizza recipes I've tried recently. The tomato one is definitely a keeper, I've been looking for excuses to make it more often than I ought to. Isn't it gorgeous? The BarBQ one is delish and a nice change from all the cheese often found on pizza. I usually keep the cheese to a minimum on my pizza anyway as I just find it too oily, clumpy and a coverup for a not so good pizza. I use a cornmeal crust from Nugget grocery store, I don't make my own crust. Use what works for you. Both recipes are vegetarian and the cauliflower one can be vegan.
