Herbed Lemonade
Got this idea from a farm box subscription and it’s absolutely awesome. Best lemonade I’ve ever had and that is seconded by my friends. Not sure why this isn’t a more popular thing yet, but you must try it! Tip: you can also do it …

Watermelon Feta Salad
Big fan of watermelon and feta in the summer. But I do feel that it often needs a little something extra like blueberries and mint or basil. This salad is often shown as a “pizza” served on top of a watermelon wedge. It looks pretty, …
Red Cabbage and Delicata Squash Dinner Salad
I found this recipe in The Pumpkin Cookbook by Deedee Stovel. I just love that cookbook and am obsessed with this recipe. The only drawback is that delicata squash is really only available in season. This dinner salad is best eaten right away. It does …
Krolik w Potrawce (Braised Rabbit)
I absolutely love rabbit! You can get it frozen at most specialty butchers. It has a very delicate flavor while also being slightly gamy. It pairs really well with cream, mushrooms, and a bit of citrus. This recipe is a very old preparation style that …
5-Spice Salmon with Leeks and Carrots
This is another gem from The New American Plate. The leeks and carrots make this dish in my opinion. And they serve as a great veg for the entire meal. All you need to make with this for a full dinner is rice! I’m not …
Herring Salad (Sledzie w Salatce)
I absolutely love herring (sledzie) but I understand they may not be for everyone. If you haven’t yet been converted, but would like to give it a try, this salad is a great gateway to herring heaven. On the other side, if you already love …
Creamy Carrot and Apple Soup
I love making this soup right at the beginning of fall, before it gets too cold (or anytime in SoCal since it’s never cold lol). It’s warm but refreshing. And the bright color is fun. I also often serve it for Thanksgiving. If you enjoy …
Twarozek (Farmers Cheese Spread)
Twarozek is definitely a Polish breakfast staple. It’s great eaten on the side like a small salad or on top of bread like a thick spread. Farmers cheese can be scarce, so I often use cottage cheese instead, especially the small curd type. It also …
Jajko w Szklance (Egg In a Cup)
This simple breakfast dish is solidly a staple of my childhood. It’s a delicious way to start the day! I’ve noticed that my American friends don’t really eat soft boiled eggs, which is a terrible shame. If you haven’t given it a try, this is …
