The Ukrainians made borsch, and the Mennonites of the Ukraine borrowed the soup but substituted cabbage as the main ingredient rather than beets, and called it Borscht. My Borscht is much like the soup my mom cooked, for which there was no written recipe. But it goes something like this... Borscht 2 lbs. soup bones, with lots of meat 8-10 cups water 2-4 carrots, sliced 4 medium potatoes, cubed 1 large (or 2 medium) onions, chopped 1 medium head cabbage, chopped fine 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 whole red chili peppers (dried) fresh dill (a handful or to taste) 2 tins tomato soup 2 cups diced tomatoes (optional) Cover soup bones with water and simmer until meat is tender (several hours). Remove the bone and shred the beef. Add more water to make 8-10 cups of stock before adding the vegetables. Add vegetables and seasonings (put chili peppers and dill into a spice cup or cheesecloth), and cook until vegetables are tender. Add tomato soup, diced tomatoes, and shredded beef...and bring to a boil. Serve with sour cream. Add a wee bit more of this or less of that, and if you like it fiery hot, add more red chili peppers. I often cook up a large pot, leave the spice cup in the soup and refrigerate it for a week of quick lunches. As the week progresses, our bowl of soup gets zippier! Fresh dill is the best but can also be harvested in season and frozen in ziplock bags to be used in soup.

When I was in Saskatoon last year, I had the opportunity to do a cooking class with a Mom's Group that my daughter-in-law attends. They were interested in one pot kind of meals and ideas on freezer meals, so I shared with them how I've made a batch of meatballs and divided it to make quick meals in the future. I'll share a basic recipe I got from Lovella, way back, when we were just young moms. I've made a couple of small changes and doubled it to yield about 125 meatballs, which I would then divide into five small bags to freeze. It's about one hour of work that saves a lot of time later, when in a rush to get dinner on. Basic Meatballs: 3 pounds fresh lean ground beef 2 cups bread crumbs 2 eggs 4 tablespoons ketchup 1/2 cup milk or water 2 teaspoons fine dried onion flakes 3 teaspoons salt pepper 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons oregano Mix well by hand. If you find it quite dry, you can add a bit more milk or water. Shape into 1 inch meatballs. Bake on foil or parchment paper lined cookie sheets for 20 minutes at 400 F. Cool and freeze in small bags. (20 - 25 per bag/ meal) Meatball Soup Ingredients: 2 tablespoons oil 1/2 onion, chopped 2 cups finely chopped vegetable combination of celery, carrots, sweet pepper and/or zucchini 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 14 oz can crushed tomatoes 1 14 oz can tomato sauce 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon thyme 4 cups chicken or beef broth (or 4 tsp better-than-bouillon and water) 20 - 25 cooked meatballs (1 bag) 1 cup raw macaroni salt and pepper to taste Saute onion and vegetables until soft. Add garlic, tomatoes, sauce and spices. Add broth and meatballs. Simmer half hour. Cook macaroni separately, rinse and add to soup. Add 1 - 2 cups water if too thick. You can give it a Mexican twist by adding taco seasonings and beans or a chili twist by using chili style canned tomatoes. Instead of using pasta you can add 1/2 cup barley to the simmering time and cook until done. Sweet and Sour Meatballs Ingredients: 1 small can pineapple tidbits 1 cup liquid - fill measuring cup with pineapple juice and add water to make 1 cup. 1/3 cup ketchup 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoons flour 20 - 25 cooked meatballs Combine all ingredients, except for the pineapple bits, in a container with a lid and shake until smooth. Place meatballs and pineapple tidbits in a casserole. Pour liquid mixture over top and bake, covered, for 40 minutes at 350 F. Serve over rice. Meatball Enchiladas Ingredients: 20 - 25 meatballs 1 can green chili pepper, chopped (optional) 2 1/2 cups enchilada sauce, divided (purchased or homemade * see below) 8 - 10 tortillas 2 - 3 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided Mix meatballs (cut in half) with chili peppers and 1 cup enchilada sauce. Divide amongst tortillas. Roll up and place in a baking dish. Top with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake 30 minutes at 350 F. (I cover with foil) Serve with Spanish rice and raw veggies and dip. Enchilada Sauce: 2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp Mexican spices, 1/2 tsp coriander or chili powder, 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 1 small can tomato sauce 1/2 cup sour cream Melt butter, blending in the flour and then the broth (using whisk) Add tomato sauce and spices, stirring until bubbly Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and 1 cup cheese Meatballs and Mushroom Sauce Ingredients: 20 - 25 meatballs 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 onion, chopped 2 cups mushrooms, sliced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 can cream of mushroom soup 3/4 cup milk 1/4 cup sour cream (optional) dash of thyme In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt butter, saute onions, mushrooms and garlic until tender, stirring often. Add mushroom soup, mixed with milk. Bring to boil. Stir in the sour cream and meatballs. Simmer 10 - 15 minutes, adding thyme near the end. Serve over rice or pasta. Meatballs and Spaghetti Sauce (This sauce is the recipe from Lovella that came with the meatball recipe, slightly altered over time . . had no idea it would become a post (what is that?) one day.) Ingredients: 2 tablspoons oil 1 small green or sweet pepper, chopped 1/2 large onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 14 oz can crushed tomatoes 1 tablspoon dried oregano 1/2 tablespoon dried sweet basil 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (or water and bouillon) 20 - 25 cooked meatballs Saute onion and pepper, adding garlic once onion and pepper is soft. Stir in tomatoes, spices and the rest of the ingredients, including meatballs. Simmer 15 - 20 minutes. Make a larger recipe by adding a can of Italian Tomato sauce, 1 cup extra broth and more meatballs. Mix leftover sauce with spaghetti and reheat for another meal. Our family likes it stirred and reheated. Add a large salad and garlic bread to stretch the meal.

Angel food cake has always been a favorite dessert of mine, so I decided to make a vegan angel food cake version! This cake is all you have dreamed about and even more. I prepare this on every occasion I get. Notes An angel food cake is challenging enough to prepare, however, a vegan one is an even larger challenge. To ensure that this version turns great for you, I suggest that you read the whole article. It’s best to spare 10 minutes extra than to waste every penny and second make something that fails. Is This Vegan Angel Food Cake Worth Your Time and Energy? If you are on the hunt for a plant-based alternative to this divine sweet cake, this recipe is totally worth it. Similar to its original counterpart it has: -A greatly fluffy texture and fine taste -Lower calories compared to the real thing -Lower fat-one 1g of fat/slice You also need only 20 minutes to prepare it, despite the several steps involved in making it. Ingredients for Making Vegan Angel Food Cake: This recipe requires only six ingredients and therefore it’s best to measure these with caution and do not use any replacements if possible. Follow the recipe to a T! Aquafaba: a liquid leftover from cooked chickpeas that is a great replacement for egg whites. If you whip it up, it will become the best vegan “meringue”. Cream of tartar: this an acid substance that helps set aquafaba when beaten. Ground sugar: beat the regular sugar granules in a food processor or blender until finely dissolved into fine powder. Vanilla extract: for extra aroma and flavor Chickpea flour: a typical vegan egg replacer that helps set the meringue. All-purpose flour: use just one cup and tbsp of all-purpose flour passed through a sifter. Pin Ingredients: -¾ cup aquafaba (the liquid leftover from a can of chickpeas) -1 tbsp vanilla extract -1 cup & 1 tbsp all-purpose flour -1 cup granulated sugar -1 tbsp chickpea flour 1 ½ tsp cream of tartar Instructions: Preheat your oven at 330F/165C. Beat the granulated sugar into fine sugar in a blender or food processor. Place ¾ cup of aquafaba liquid into a big mixing bowl with vanilla extract and cream of tartar. Whip for 6 minutes minimum with a hand mixer initially on low and then slowly at higher speed. Incorporate the powdered sugar gradually in several parts while beating up the meringue on high speed for a couple of minutes. Once you have beaten the aquafaba for 8 minutes at least, grab a tbsp of the chickpea flour and beat for an extra minute or so. In three increments, gradually sift the flour combo into the egg mix through a mesh strainer, while carefully folding in with a rubber spatula after every part. To prevent any shrinking and loss of cake volume, don’t add the flour mixture in one part. Add gradually in multiple increments. Place and spread the batter into an unprepared 9X10” cake tubular pan. Shake the pan on a flat surface to even out the bottom. Bake your vegan angel cake until you add a toothpick and it turns out clean, for approx. 45-50 minutes. Take off the oven and let cool (while it’s still in the pan) for 2-3 hours. Once it’s cooled down, pass a small knife around the edges to gently detach the cake from the pan. If you wish, sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. Serve with fresh berries on top and a small part of vegan whipping cream.
