A Polish Girl In An American Kitchen
This vegetarian (even vegan!) chili may seem a bit odd, but it is absolutely worth a try. I was initially intrigued because of the peanuts, and now it’s my go-to chili (even over meat chilies, oh my!). Everyone who’s tried it says they are absolutely …
I love harvest veggies, and this is probably my favorite side to make for the fall season. Parsnip and parsley root are so under used and under appreciated! Also, the soy sauce really adds a depth of flavor you rarely see with sweet potatoes and apples.The …
Like a true Polish person, I just love pork chops. This recipe from the legendary Edna Lewis (“The Edna Lewis Cookbook”) is simple, and delicious. If you haven’t heard of Edna Lewis, look her up; she’s was an absolutely amazing person and cook. Back to …

This really is the best gazpacho. I’m generally not a big fan, but I make 2 batches of this every time. It’s so good I always want more after the first meal. It’s great as a light dinner or lunch on its own, but can …
