Rye Bagel Chips

Instead of buying our normal bagel chips, we attempted to make our own. We made our simple bagel recipe replacing the whole wheat flour with rye flour. We should have added some molasses for color. Then we cut the cooked bagels into thin slices and dehydrated. Easy! The hard part is keeping the kids away from snacking on them.

Ricotta Gnudi

This is an Italian dish that Andrea taught me for “cultural immersion” cooking class . This is excellent with Andrea’s Vodka sauce.

Chicken Shawarma

A recipe Adrian discovered and adapted. Great on salad or with flat bread and shredded vegetables.

Empanadas

This is very similar to what our Spanish tutor said her mom made when SeƱora Swart was growing up in Argentina. Since 8 April is National Empanada Day, we decided to surprise her with some during our lesson.

Vegetable Stew

An excellent stew to serve on top of rice or Luphuftu.

If you have an overabundance of fresh tomatoes, they work wonderfully in this recipe. Just be sure to skin them before adding.

Fish Fillets Baked with Cheese

An excellent way to eat fish! This recipe is from Mom McGuire many years ago. I am assuming she gave it to us when we were first married, because it is in my printed cookbook and not hand written.
