Quick Turkey Taco Salad

This is a great, fast recipe for those nights that you have little time but want a balanced meal. Add beans or olives, if that is what you like. We can't find taco salad shells here, so if you have them where you are, try those. If you don't like raw onions, cook the onions with the ground turkey.

Hoe Cake

Hoe cake is a Southern bread that is cooked in an iron skillet, like cornbread. This hoe cake recipe stems back to my great-great grandmother. My father has made this recipe for years, and it is always requested by his grandchildren. A slice of hoe cake will warm your insides — slathered with some homemade apple butter alongside of some butter beans, freshly sliced tomatoes, and a good tall glass of sweet tea. I promise your family will love this truly Southern recipe!

Polish Sausage Kraut Skillet

This Polish sausage kraut skillet is a good one for people that don't care for sauerkraut a whole lot. It doesn't have a strong flavor of sauerkraut, it is very creamy and tasty.

Mom's Kimchi Egg

My mom makes this kimchi and eggs dish all the time, and it tastes better and better each time! And the best part — just two basic ingredients is all it takes. Garnish with rice.

My Own Famous Stuffed Grape Leaves

These grape leaves are stuffed with a tantalizing mixture of lemony rice and fresh herbs. "Yum" is the only word to describe them! Serve them as an appetizer, or as a main dish paired with crusty bread and a Greek salad.

Potato Latkes

You can't go wrong with this classic latke recipe! Made with shredded potatoes, grated onion, and a flour and egg binder, these tasty potato latkes are pan-fried in batches until golden brown. These hot, crispy, oniony potato pancakes are must for Hanukkah but perfectly acceptable other times of the year. Serve with applesauce, sour cream, or smoked salmon.
