I don't celebrate (is that the right term??) Lent, but my mom used to make halushki on Fridays when I was a kid...

From page 1 of the NEPA Cookin' thread...

"I was thinking, it might be a nice thing for folks looking to move to NEPA as well as NEPA residents & folks like me who have ties to NEPA but live in other parts of the country to have a thread dedicated to the one thing that ties us together no matter our opinions, views, religious, economic or political standing....FOOD!!

My grandparents were from Czech/Austrian stock & my grandma was always cooking (and God help you if you weren't at the table on time to eat with the whole family!!! )

I can start out with my own rendition of halushki. I've had to adjust to what's available here in Florida, but my mom said this tasted exactly like her mom's.

If you don't have the time or inclination to make your own egg noodles, I've found that "Pa Dutch brand Dumplings" in the cellophane bag come closest. Also, (I don't know if it's just me) but butter doesn't taste like butter anymore so I use only local organic.

Cook the noodles in boiling salted water per instructions on package or per your recipe if homemade.

I then melt 1 stick of butter in a frying pan & fry 2 tbsp. caraway seeds on low heat for a minute or 2. Add 2 chopped onions & 1 package (I use Hebrew Nat'l) sauerkraut that's been drained & squeezed dry til all the brine is out & fry til browned.

Add this mixture & 1 package of farmer's cheese (crumbled) to the cooked noodles & adjust seasoning with salt & pepper to taste.

SO easy!!

So true, this is my Aunt's recipe for soda bread. My cousin is channeling her every time she makes it. It is the best I have ever had. Thanks Nancy!

OK guys you asked for NEW Lenten options - so PLEASE do NOT JUMP ALL OVER ME. Check out Eden Cafe on Adams St in Scranton. You can fast and feast at the same time. eden-cafe.com/
I am not a vegan and the food was yummm.
I plan to go back on my next house hunting trip if anyone wants to meet me there!
