Rita's Mint Lemonade

A family friend developed a lemonade so purely delightful to my tastebuds that I begged her for the recipe. She most graciously passed it on to me, and I present to you the most refreshing drink I've ever had.

Melon Bread

Sergey and I have visited Japan, and while there we discovered Melon Bread. It's fluffy as air inside and crispy on the outside. I can't make it as good, but I can make a good sweet bread along those lines with this.

Meat & Mushroom Stir Fry

This is a pretty basic recipe that was intended to give a little more substance to a meal consisting mostly of the roasted potatoes we developed. I needed to mark down the right proportions somewhere, so...

Lembas Bread Cookies

My youngest sister and I played around with this recipe a bit. We found it online, but decided it was not sweet enough. Difficult to tweak without making it too dense, but it cane be done!

Kasha Varnishkes

A FAVORITE old family recipe. A lot of this is experimentation, approximation, and “to taste” measuring. Also, Wolff’s Kasha is hard to find in the store. Often found in the "non-American foods" section with matzah, potato pancake mix, borscht, gefilte fish.
