My dearest 80-something friend Betty gave me this sensational, hearty recipe for a 3-bean hot dish. She's Finnish, I believe this has roots to home, and it's really tasty! My hubby, who hates beans, demanded I get the recipe. We first devoured it at Betty and Jim's 60th wedding anniversary! Perfect for potlucks.

Bialys
If you like bagels, you're probably going to love these bialys. They're not as heavy and dense as bagels and they have a savory filling, that combined with the chewy, light dough is absolutely magical! I might only be 25% Polish but my take on bialys was 100% amazing.
Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini
Ricotta and spinach are among the most expected vegetarian pairings in Italian cooking. In genuine tortellini di magro, it's also used as a filling for tortellini, the famous ring-shaped stuffed egg pasta from Bologna served in clear beef stock for Christmas or any special occasion. This recipe, with green spinach dough and a vegetarian filling, is a much-appreciated alternative to the basic recipe. Serve it with your favorite sauce. It's great with a simple butter and sage sauce or regular tomato sauce.
Milk Tart
This custard pie with a sweet pastry crust is a South African favorite, especially at tea time. I got this wonderful recipe from a friend.
