Kasha with Noodles – A Buckwheat Delight

Loving buckwheat is really an acquired taste, it has an earthy taste to it and not everyone likes it, but if you do you’re lucky. Not only hat it’s a healthy dish but it’s also easy to make, tasty and goes well with a variety of combinations. Kasha is basically buckwheat. I believe this next […]

Romanian Style Kebab in Peppercorn Sauce

Ever since we moved to Canada I haven’t had the chance to eat Romanian Kebabs. These flavorful patties are so good! In Israel you can find it in every grocery store and it is especially good when it’s barbequed. So yeah, it took me three and a half years but I finally decided to make […]
