Ćwikła isn’t quite easy to pronounce so I’ve always just called it red beets, because that’s what is is. Buraki, in Polish simply means beetroots and this is a typical Polish condiment, served with roast or any kind of smoked meat or sausage. It is a must on the holiday table, regardless if it’s Christmas…

Growing up in a Polish family, we had sauerkraut often with many meals.  My Mom’s sauerkraut was the best and I would make a sandwich with just sauerkraut.  When I saw this “burger” with sauerkraut, I had to give it a try. I’m calling this recipe German Meat Pies since it was a German/Russian family that…

If you have never tried making pierogi before, or just have a craving and don’t want to go through all the fuss, this is a perfect recipe.  It makes just about 2 dozen pierogi – enough for a snack for my boys!  It’s even easier if you make the delicious potato filling the day before.…

This is a traditional Polish stew called Bigos or Hunter’s Stew.  There are so many variations of this pork dish. You can go to Hog Heaven and add smoked pork shoulder, pork butt, bacon and kielbasa.  Spareribs and sauerkraut are something I’ve never had outside of my own home.  This is the way my mother…
