Strawberry Cream Roll
This strawberry roll is ideal for that special ending to a special luncheon. Decorate this jelly roll with crystallized violets, if desired. A few fresh violet leaves on top also may be used.
Steak Nachos
We made these up when we were in the mood for nachos but didn't have any ground beef defrosted. These steak nachos turned out so much better than their ground beef counterpart! We'll definitely make nachos this way from now on.
Blueberry Pierogi
You've probably heard of savory pierogi—those delicious Polish dumplings—but what about sweet? These blueberry-filled pierogi (babcine pierogi z jagodami) are a unique and fruity after-dinner dessert. Serve pierogi the traditional Polish way: drizzle with melted butter and top with soured cream, then sprinkle with additional sugar and blueberries.
