Traditionally, blintzes are associated with Shavuot. This is a traditional holiday breakfast for our family. Rolled pancakes filled with cheese, fruit or both, they make a delicious dessert. Sweet blintzes carry on the tradition of cheese and fruit fillings. Serve either with sour cream and powdered sugar, or maple or chocolate syrup. We like to serve them with fruit pie fillings, like apples, blueberries, or cherries, and then put a dollop of sour cream and powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar on them.

Asian Water Roux White Bread
This Asian water roux white bread recipe contains the secret to homemade bread that stays soft for days! If you enjoy the silky, cotton-soft but expensive loaves from Chinese bakeries, then you will love these. My kids can't rave enough about them. It might be more work than the usual white bread, but trust me, this is so worth it. Water roux works best when refrigerated overnight; however, if you don't want to wait, make sure it's at room temperature when you add it to the dough. The dough is quite moist to work with. It is easier to do the kneading in a mixer.
Hungarian Kifli
Make these kifli on a dry day. The dough is sticky. They are delicious!
Turkey Cabbage Rolls
This is my version of cabbage rolls using ground turkey instead of ground beef. This dish freezes well, so you can have half for dinner and freeze the other half for another time. Mashed potatoes make a good side dish.
