These delicious Russian Tea Cakes are shortbread-like cookies filled with nuts and coated with sweet confectioners' sugar.

Traditional Tamales
This is my own personal recipe for traditional tamales, developed over the years. This makes a huge batch, enough to eat and plenty for freezing for another day.

Corned Beef and Cabbage
A slow cooker is an absolutely wonderful and foolproof way to cook your Corned Beef and Cabbage. The perfect corned beef will slice very easily, but it will not be cooked to the point of falling apart.

Fattigman
Fattigman is a beloved crisp Norwegian cookie which is a favorite during the holidays.
