Lumpia (Shanghai Version)

Lumpia Shanghai is a smaller, meatier type of egg roll that we Filipinos are very proud of! You could use pork, beef, or both. It's a very easy and yummy recipe that's great as finger food. We serve these spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with lemon, or banana ketchup.

Egg White Breakfast Casserole

Great egg white casserole to make at the beginning of the week for a quick breakfast each morning.

Copycat Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi

This copycat Red Lobster shrimp scampi is my recreation of the scampi served by the familiar seafood restaurant known for lobster, crab legs, and shrimp. It comes together quickly, and is truly restaurant-worthy. It is especially nice served over angel hair pasta.

Pannekaken (Norwegian Pancakes)

My Norwegian grandmother made these pancakes for us as a treat, and they continue to be a favorite when my mother makes them for my kids. They're very easy and versatile — serve them rolled like crêpes with syrup or jam. Or serve them for dessert stuffed with sweetened cream cheese and lingonberry jam.

Russian Tea Cakes

These Russian tea cakes are rolled in powdered sugar for a sweet finish and a snowball-like appearance. My grandmother "Bubba" brought this Russian tea cake recipe with her when she came from Lithuania, and now my family has made it for many generations. I pass it on in the true spirit of the holiday season!
