Favorites

For those of you who are new to this site and are feeling a little overwhelmed, I thought I’d start a list of my absolute favorite recipes – those that I recommend you try first. And BTW, let me know what your favorites are!!

This list will probably change over time as I post more recipes and discover new favorites! First, I thought it only appropriate to add a random photo of our kiddos (this too is subject to change).

    Hello Natasha, I love your recipes. My favorite is your chicken pot pie. I have a question do you have any recipes for people who have a fatty liver? I’m trying to find a good one for a dinner. I’m trying to make something for the people who need to eat a low fat or fat free.

      Hi Korrin! I’m glad that you are loving my recipes. I do not have a specific category for that. I have some vegetarian or keto recipes but nothing specific to meet those dietary needs. You can click on the “recipes” option at the top of the page to see the categories and look through them if you’d like. Many of my recipes can also be modified. If I’ve tested a substitute, I’ll leave a note of it throughout the blog post so I recommend reading through the whole post of the recipe before making it. Also, my readers will share their feedback in the comment section if they’ve tested substitutions so you could check there as well. I hope that helps.

    Hi Natasha,

    I discovered your website/blog after a Facebook friend posted one of your food videos (it was a rice/beef slow cooker recipe). I myself absolutely abhor cooking (I love vegetable gardening) but your recipes look divine! I hardly ever cook and have always vowed that I will only ever marry (ever) if my husband does all the cooking. Thank you for sharing your talent and your Christ centered testimony. BTW: I recognized some of your mom’s recipes as closely resembling my own mother’s Romanian recipes: Meatball soup, Poppy Seed Roll. In Romanian they are called respectively “Ciorba de perisoare” and “Cozonac”. Anyway, thank you for sharing your talent! If you one day publish a cook book, I will buy it…as a gift for my future (if it should ever, by God’s miracle, happen) husband.

    Thank you and God bless you,

    My comment is a general one. I bought an air-fryer. Many of your recipes could be cooked in it. The problem with converting to this method is guesswork i.e. no two recipes for the same dish use the same time/temp and prep. It would be fantastic if someone with your tastes and abilities would tackle this — it is popular enough to deserve a new area of recipes. If you used specific preps people would flock to your webpage just for air-frying techniques. The underlying meaning here is “help!”.

    Hello Natasha
    Could you send me your recipe for Zephrs. Also what would be the shelf life using fresh fruit and it it possible to double up the recipe to make a double batch.
    Thank you so much

      Hi Sandra, here is our recipe for zephyr. I haven’t tried doubling it but I would probably make the batch two separate times so it doesn’t overwhelm the mixer and will still adequately whip up.

    Thank you for sharing your recipes. I married a Ukrainian 5 1/2 years ago. My family is American, and we have never had a foreigner come into our family until my husband. Needless to say, I don’t know how to cook like his mama. Bless his heart, I know he misses the food so much. I already tried one dish without telling him it was your Ukrainian recipe, he went on and on how he liked dinner so much. I finally told him it was because it was Ukrainian. He was so happy I was trying to make dishes he likes. Thank you again for sharing your families culture.

    I do have a question though. My boyfriend and I are doing dates-around-the world this year…Once a month we pick a country and either go to a restaurant or I try to make a traditional dish…after finding your blog, I’m tempted to try something Ukranian or Russian. Do you have any recommendations of what we should try? Perhaps a main dish and a dessert. Easier is better, but any recommendation is welcome.

    Thanks!

    I also wanted to mention that I make tuna salad once or twice a month. I tried searching your blog but could not find a tuna salad recipe. I make tuna salad with 2 cans of tuna, 1 green onion, 2 eggs, and Vegenaise. Sometimes I make it without the onion. Do you have a tuna salad recipe? Thanks for reading. Have a good day.

    Hi! I just stumbled across your site while attempting to use the leftovers in my fridge to make Plov. I’m currently living and working in Ukraine as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and your recipes look delicious and easy. I love your step-by-step directions and pictures! I can’t wait to hit the bazaar and make some great new stuff this week 🙂 Thanks!

    I love your site and I have to tell you I love to see you giving God glory. Good for you and good for us Christians to have you. I would love to see an authentic Ukraine Borsch recipe. I have tried a few but cannot get it to taste like it should taste. Or maybe it just tasted better when I was in Ukraine? Thank you and good luck with your nursing. I just started my masters program in business, a lot of work.

      Thank you Sue – your words are very encouraging! I posted a Ukrainian Borsch/ Russian Borsche (borsch is borsch 🙂 I’m planning to post something a little easier based on tips some of my readers have posted in the comments, but I still have to develop that recipe. Here’s a link to the recipe for: Borscht. It’s the recipe I make at home and we love it!! It’s hearty and a deep red color – loads of flavor. Hope you enjoy it! God bless you in your masters program. I have a nice list of scriptures on my school notebook that really help me when I’m feeling overwhelmed: Prov 3:5-6, Deut 31:6, Is 41:10, Is 41:13, 2 Tim 41:13, Heb 13:5-6.

      I will post it. I just have to think of what fruit to use since berries and plums aren’t really in season anymore. Maybe I’ll try frozen berries?

        i used to buy cranberry and raspberry frozen juice from winco which we couldnt get enough of it was so yummy. then once we were out at home and wanted some but remebered we had frozen cranberries and raspberries at home so made compot added sugar and it was very good, now our new fav. we only make that kind lol we stock up on cranberries and freeze them around christmas and new yrs thats the only time they have them at stores, so give it a try.

          That does sound good. I love cranberry juice! Never thought about making my own! So raw cranberries + frozen raspberries + sugar would work well? About how much of each for a soup pot of compot?

            well for a large pot (8qt) i use half the bag of cranberry which is 6 0z and frozen raspberry about a handfull, dont need much and about 1 1/2 – 2 cups max. sugar but that is up to everyone cus some like it sweet some not too sweet, but 1 would do 1.5 cups and see how it is to ur taste. also remeber that when compot cools down it becomes more sweet. i just made some today and i didnt have frozen raspberries but i used my rasberry mixed with sugar varenie tastes great as well, just added a little less sugar cus raspberry was already mixed with sugar and i only did 3 tbs of raspberry varenie and u can really taste the raspberry already. cook till color turns to red and cranberries will be popping so be careful so they done burn u. let it cool, drain into a pitcher from all the berries, enjoy! i reserve the berries and eat them lol i never let my cranberries go to waste gotta get all the vitamins i can 🙂
