About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

Ukrainian Fried Sauerkraut

You don't think you like sauerkraut? This is actually just half sauerkraut with all the juices squeezed out, and half cabbage. I am still getting used to having a mandoline, and I kept cutting until I had taken off an equivalent weight of cabbage to the sauerkraut. The onion is sauteed and then the cabbages are added and cooked for a long time. This is the way the Ukrainian ladies that immigrated a long time ago make it for Church. They recommend using a slow cooker for making big batches. They had some other secrets, which I made the mistake of not writing down, but will try and find out and add later. This must be served with a really good kielbasa and boiled potatoes for an authentic meal.
