Romanian cabbage Rolls (sarmale)

Here's my tried and true cabbage rolls recipe that is a must have for every Christmas. First of all, the big difference between Romanian cabbage rolls and others are that we make them with sour cabbage. You can find sour cabbage at pretty much all grocery stores, here in Calgary, we always find them at Safeway or any Polish store. With sour cabbage you have to be careful because it is pretty salty, so what I usually do is a few hours before actually assembling the rolls, I put the cabbage in a big pot with water, so some of the salt gets out of it. Here are the ingredients you'll need: 3 lbs of ground pork (or whatever meat you prefer) 1/2 cup of long grain rice 1-2 onions 2 sour cabbages parsley dill 2 tbsp of oil 1 L of tomato juice salt and pepper to taste Directions: Chop the onions and fry them in the oil until tender. Add the dill and parsley and rice and 1/4 cup of water. Cook until rice absorbs the water. Add onion and rice mixture...

The Best Cherry Cheesecake

Today I made cherry cheesecake. I haven't made cheesecake in a long time. But I was craving cheesecake, so I decided to make some. Cheesecake is pretty easy to make, it just takes a while to bake and then let it cool. It is totally worth it at the end though. Here are the ingredients you'll need: For the crust: 3 cups of graham crackers, I didn't have them so I used special K cereal 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup melted butter For the filling: 800 gr of cream cheese 4 eggs 3/4 cup of sugar 3 tbsp flour 1/4 cup of milk 1 tbsp lemon zest 1 tsp vanilla For the topping use a can of cherry pie filling. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. You'll need a cheesecake pan for this. First you need to make the crust. In a food processor, add the crackers or cereal, melted butter and sugar and pulse until well mixed. Take the cereal mixture and spread over the bottom of the cake pan, pressing down to cover the entire bottom of pan and a little bit...

Honey Glazed Rack of Pork Ribs

What's for dinner tonight? Well, I looked in the fridge and I noticed my husband bought a nice big rack of pork ribs, so I decided to make honey glazed rack of pork ribs with some mashed potatoes on the side. Don't let this scare you, the glaze took me about 2 minutes to make, so the recipe is super easy and trust me it's so worth it and you'll love it. 2 tsp honey 2 tsp brown sugar 1/3 cup of olive oil juice of a lemon 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 4 cloves of garlic crushed 2 tsp paprika 2 tbsp oregano 1tbsp yellow mustard a rack of pork ribs Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Now this is super easy to do, just mix all of the ingredients, excluding the rack of pork ribs, in a large bowl and whisk well. Add the pork ribs and massage the glaze all over the pork ribs thoroughly. Place the ribs in a large roaster and pour the remaining glaze over it. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour and a half and every 20 minutes or so, baste the ribs with the drippings f...
