Mom’s Girl Scout Ginger/Applesauce Cobbler
Sliwa family Christmas tradition. Looking for delicious and healthy dessert ideas to tide you over during the holiday season? What about apple crisp –one of the easiest desserts to make; perfect for both beginner and advanced chefs.
Brownie Bean Pot
This is an easy dish that Mom Sliwa made for the girls during Brownie scout outings, but the family grew to like it. The boys were known to finish full pots. It is both hearty and sweet while being easy to make. Perhaps it has drugs, hard to put down. It can be eaten hot, warmed, or cold.
Grandma Sliwa’s Golabki (Cabbage Rolls)
I have to admit, it took me awhile to appreciate these. I think it started about the time I could use silverware to feed myself. 🙂 We always went back for seconds.
Grandma Sliwa’s Raisin Bread
Grandma Sliwa’s Raisin Bread was prepared shortly before our arrival on a visit and there seemed to be an endless supply available. The smells coming out of the kitchen were amazing.
Grandma Sliwa’s Potato Perogies
You can’t visit a polish household without being inundated with a supply of perogies. Finding the perfect garnish is also a task (bacon, sour cream, etc.)
Sloan Class of 1989 Cookbook
This is a cookbook that the 42 fellows of the Class of 1989 pulled together. In actuality, it has some of our favorite recipes. So we are including it here to share with our friends. From the book’s forward: For each of us, this cookbook will stir fond memories of our Sloan year: potluck dinners, international nights, tailgate parties, picnics, baby showers, Sloan-alone dinners … our year together. This cookbook is composed of more than mere recipes … mixed in with the other ingredients are generous portions of sharing, caring, and laughter. We dedicate this book, The Best Cookbook Ever, to the best cooks ever.
Crème Brûlée French Toast
This is the dish that Michele and Dave frequently prepare for Christmas morning. Although the original recipe calls for using large slices from a round loaf of bread and removing the crust, we also tried the recipe with a baguette, leaving the crust on, and found it just as delicious. At La Maison, challah is often the bread of choice.Calories: [You don’t want to know]
Steve’s Hearty Salsa Mix
I like a hearty salsa. I experimented with making my own salsa from scratch, but it’s quite messy. Additionally, most recipes call for using tomoate paste and or chopped tomatoes from cans as ingredients. It seemed to me that if the recipe was going to include some of these we might as well jump to a mixing strategy. I personally think Safeway’s Select Medium Chunky Classic Salsa is pretty good, but I like to freshen it up and add some common ingredients from the grocery store. I sometimes include other ingredients but the ones listed below are quick and upgrade the salsa to a homestyle medium chunky quite nicely.
