Whether you've heard about the controversy over what a Campbell's Exec said about their soups or not, it's always going to be a great idea to make a homemade version of Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup. It's fresh, you know what's in it, and it hasn't been sitting in a can for months. I haven't done the math on it, but it may be less expensive also.

I've been enjoying these cookies for over 40 years!  This recipe was originally printed on Tenderflake lard boxes, but I haven't noticed it on the boxes in years.  My Mom made these cookies when I was young, and I've been making it for over 30 years! 

These Bacon Brunch Bites are everything I love about brunch in one neat little package! Bacon, French Toast, and an Omelet-type filling.  

Making homemade baked beans has been on my radar for a while! When I saw a friend posting her baked beans I figured it was time to give it a try! 

I am fairly new to using our smoker, so I decided I'd jump in with both feet and not only figure out how to make and can the beans, but also how to smoke them for the added flavor.  My recipe gives instructions that can be used either on a smoker or just in your oven.  

Perishke are one of my favorite dishes from my upbringing in a Polish/Ukranian family.  In case you are unfamiliar with them, Perishke are delicious little buns made with a sweet dough and stuffed with a cottage cheese filling.

Cheesy Baked Potato Perogies are one of my favorite perogies and is a recipe I came up with - my love of baked potatoes and my love of smothering perogies in sauteed onions and bacon inspired me to develop this recipe.

Sauerkraut Perogies are one of the most popular and well known types of perogies, and we all know how good fermented foods, like sauerkraut, are for your gut health.

Have you thought about making perogies but thought it was too complicated?  It's actually a lot easier than you might think!

Cheese and Potato Perogies are the most popular and well known type of perogy.  Perogies are an easy and fairly inexpensive meal.  Add a salad and beans or kielbasa and you have a healthy, hearty and quick meal for those days when you don't have a lot of time to cook. 

These baked perogies in cream sauce turned out absolutely amazing! Add a salad and some kielbasa, or baked beans, and you have an easy and hearty meal.
