There are hundreds versions of this very Polish soup. Here you have an original proposition of mine. I used to cook it on the base of my favorite duck and chicken stock. The cream is a must to create wonderful pink color. Optionally you may add a quarter or a half of hard boiled egg to your bowl. By the way, I change my recipe sometimes, for instance by adding dried California prunes instead of sugar, or by adding some white vinegar instead of lemon juice.

A twist on a different oriental spaghetti recipe I found created this easy yet flavorful Asian stir-fried spaghetti with veggies for dinner last night!

The original version that inspired this recipe was incredibly rich using whipping cream for the cream sauce and delivering a whopping 16 grams of saturated fat per serving. 85% of the calories came from fat!

You don’t have to miss out on a family favourite with this gluten-free option. Mushrooms are filled with goodness from important minerals like Potassium (which aids the function of nerves and muscles – including the heart) and Selenium (which protects the body’s cells) to many B vitamins (which are important for the nervous system). Ancient Egyptians believed they were the plant of immortality according to hieroglyphics – they banned commoners from eating them so that royalty could have an abundant supply. Enjoy this meal, you are in good company.

This hearty casserole is my favorite dish to make for a potluck. With the green of the broccoli and the rich cheese sauce, it's pretty to serve, and it makes a tasty side dish for almost any kind of main dish.
