Danish Peppernut Christmas Cookies (Pebernodder)
These are deliciously tiny, somewhat time consuming to make (but totally worth it), eaten-by-the-handful Danish shortbread cookies. This recipe was given to me by a local grandmother at the annual Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Oregon. Stored in an airtight container, they'll last close to two weeks.
Hungarian Goulash
This Hungarian goulash recipe is a spicy way to dress up stew beef. My mom made this when we were kids, and we loved it. It is spicy but not mouth-burning! It can be made with cheaper cuts of beef and will still turn out very tender. If the stew gets too thick, add a little water while cooking. Garnish with sour cream.
Cheesy Caramelized Onion Hand Pies
Caramelizing the onions slowly results in the sweetest, most flavorful hand pie you've ever eaten. Don't expect leftovers, these will quickly disappear.
