I love the old fashioned recipes from my youth: Stuffed cabbage, apple dumplings ; good olde goulash (made with hamburg and lots of green peppers and onions).
Also, I have a friend who is gluten intolerant. When I need a dessert for her, I usually pull out the almond cake recipe made with almond flour. It is great with strawberries or any fruit. This last recipe came from a gluten free cookbook, so with copyright laws, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to just share it.
Love the oldies but goodies! Thank you for sharing your feedback, Marlene!
