Baked Ricotta Cheese Balls
Today was the day when kids finally made me let them cook something. I always enjoy their initiative to help out in the kitchen, but I don't always take time to create recipes that they can do totally on their own.
Whole Wheat Sourdough Waffle Recipe
Sourdough waffles are our Sunday tradition that started before kids were born and still continues 10 years later. Everybody loves them and I enjoy how easy it is to make them.
Cold Borscht Soup
Cold soups of all kinds are perfect for summer, and none are more perfect than this. I grew up on it in Lithuania and know that Slavic people have similar variations as well.
Beef Shank Barley Soup
This soup is as dietary as it gets. It's also perfect for fall and all that colder weather we will be welcoming soon enough. It's rich, flavorful, easy to make, and very yummy. My kids have tasted every soup there is and have become quite the little experts. This one they approved, which is a high mark for soup.
Nutrisystem Inspired Turkey Cutlets
I have been on Nutrisystem for a few months and am ready to start my slow transition to normal foods. While I liked Nutrisystem meals and found them very convenient, it is time to wean myself off this diet and rejoin my family in eating meals together.

Ground Beef Tacos
Let me start by saying that this was my first try and I made a very modified to accommodate kids.
Nutrisystem Inspired Cedar Plank Salmon Recipe
We try to eat fish at least once every week. It is not easy for me because I don't like fish that much. This is why I always look for ways to make cooking fish more interesting.
