Cousin Carlee came up with the brilliant idea that we learn how to make perogies from scratch from our Moms. My cousins and I grew up with memories of our Baba, Moms and Aunties gathered in a steamy kitchen with stacks of tea-towels, pots full of potato-cottage cheese filling, and piles of flour, making endless…

Pizza Dough Second Edition
Tonight I thought I would attempt an image heavy post showing you how I make my specialty, pizza dough. I wrote about this before, in my post titled Pizza! Tonight I will add more detail. This is a dough I have been making since my early teens, and it works every time. (Dramatic pause) Until…
Walshinara Sauce
We’ve been eating a lot of meat lately. Mm. Meat. Nothing wrong with meat, but some days the old ticker says, “Hey Walsh, take it easy please.” I listen to my body all the time. And I respond in kind. So when it says, “Hey Walsh, you need to eat that Mint Oreo Blizzard”, I…
Cabbage Rolls and Coffee
Tomorrow is a family reunion – a promised feast of garlic sausage, veggie plates, perogies, buns, butter, squares, and of course, wait for it…. (enter The Shmenges…) 2 – 3 – 4! Cabbage rolls and coffee! MMM MMM good! Seriously. We will be having cabbage rolls and coffee. Tonight, to get my Ukrainian stomach prepped…
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Last night I celebrated Diwali with friends and had some of the most amazing, most delicious, most flavourful Indian food I have ever eaten in my life. I resolved privately to myself that I would never cook again until I’ve learned how to cook Indian. You think I’m kidding? Ha! I’ve registered to take an…
Turkey Soup
Thanksgiving was but just a week ago, and already I’m craving the soul soothing flavours of a full Thanksgiving dinner. Mom sent us home with little care packets, but those were “gobbled up” (get it, gobbled? as in gobble gobble? *sigh* I know, that’s pretty bad) by Monday last week. I get the treasure of…
Nalysynky (Cheese Crepes)
Nalysynky (nah-liss-neh-key): Cheese crepes. Ukrainian food. Delicious, waist expanding Ukrainian food. Nalysynky is not a complicated food item to make. It just has multiple steps and requires your full attention whilst making the crepes. It’s a great food to make as a couple, however, I am one of those cooks that sends my husband off…
Nigella Lawson’s Lemon Linguine
Who doesn’t love Nigella Lawson? And who doesn’t love egg yolks, cream, butter, lemon, parmesan, and pasta? Okay, maybe you don’t, but I do, and this is my blog, and this post is dedicated to Nigella’s Lemon Linguine recipe. It’s quick. Easy. Delicious. And impresses the pants off my husband. If you are invited to…
Chickpeas and a Salad
Some days, nothing will cheer me up after a Crappy Day at Work except a stiff G & T, a hug from Michael, a long phone call with my sister, followed by a spicy chickpea dish served along side a refreshing salad. Today is one of those days. Let me share my recipe for happiness….
Talulah’s Garden
I’m in Philadelphia and although only my second visit it is feeling homey and familiar. Had to give the cab driver directions to my hotel. Arrived at suppertime and thought I’d eat at M’s which is adjacent to and owned by my hotel, The Morris House Hotel. But they were full. Much like a post…
