Yes - the one I had was chopped kielbasa and potato. It was very good.

I am going to try that next time I make them. I am putting in a new kitchen, the contractor arrives Monday morning to start, and when it's all done, I have promised a big dinner party. I will be making perogies for that, and I'll spring the new variation on unsuspecting family member then. I'll let you know how it goes over. They all love kielbasa, so I am sure they'll approve.
I am known for my mil's secret fruit pie (so don't ask for the recipe!) recipe that she gave me on pain of keeping it secret
and my Casata (my gram's recipe for this Sicilian cheesecake - made with candied fruits, chocolate, fruit zest and more.
My dh would say I should be known for my marinara sauce (family recipe) and meatballs and my gram's recipe for a Sfincione.
In terms of one I'd like to be known for, it would be my family's recipe for the Casata. It's taken me years to feel that I've got it right
at last!

bad ones.
Naaaah I make really mean pancakes and a good quiche. But I'm best loved for a sort of strawberry yoghurt smoothie thing. I haven't named it yet. And the recipe's a secret anyway!! (Suffice to say, it was actually supposed to turn into a cheesecake - but it kinda evolved while I was making it..... that sums up all of my meals, I think)
I make really good waffles, when we have breakfast at work, i am the waffle make. And Tuna Casserole.
Spicy Beef Stew
2 pounds lean beef
2 large onions, cut into wedges
1 pound new potatoes, cut in half

JosÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] is known for his brownie reciepe; I bought some to work and now I'll get asked to ask him to make some (and bring them in)
I'm known for making random things like a sour fish soup, the beetzia, mac & cheese, cinnimon chicken, baked rice and just thorwing things together with what I have. JosÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] always asks me to write things down so that I actually make him the same dish twice. I'm pretty much known for not following a reciepe. I make a mean turkey brine!

I'm known for grilled chicken salads and chicken parmagiana (sp?). And I'm becomming known for tiramisu. Nothing I make is hard though, and I don't use recipes..
Tuna with ginger sauce is one, salsa, and my So-Many-Vegetables-You-Won't-Miss-the-Meat Soup.
i have several desserts i'm known for, but these are the 2 favorites.
Chess Cake
crust
1 butter recipe cake mix
1 stick butter
1 egg
mix together & press into a 13"x9" pan, like a pie crust.
filling
1 8 ounce package cream cheese
1 box powdered sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup key lime juice
mix together & pour into crust. bake @ 350 for approximately 1 hour, until lightly browned & the center is barely set. it'll set up after cooling.
Toffee
2 sticks butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3 tablespoons water
3 cups granulated sugar [i think this is right...
]
cook in a pan over medium heat until candy reaches the hard crack stage. then add 1 cup chopped pecans. this cools it off quickly - pour onto a greased cookie sheet & smooth out till it's all about the same thickness. then, lay plain chocolate hershey bars on top. they'll melt - spread them around. if you buy the 6-pack, there's usually 1 left over as a treat for the cook! after it's completely cooled & the chocolate is solid [i usually put it in the fridge to speed things along] break it into manageable pieces. this stuff tastes a lot like almond roca or health bars.

OOOoohhh has to be my roast vegetable risotto....YUM YUM!!
I ADORE beef stew - with dumplings. I never seem to get my dumplings quite right though. I can't buy suet out here for love nor money and so I made them all from scratch last time - they went into the pot the size of golf balls (as they should) and came out looking like someone had welded together several soccerballs.
OMG trust you guys to make me hungry!!!!
Emma, try these...Originally Posted by LilleKat

Dumplings
1½ cup sifted flour
2 t \tbaking powder
½ t \tsalt
1 T \tshortening
⅓ c \tmilk
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Work in the shortening, add milk. Mix only enough to wet the dry ingredients. Add to hot stew. Cook covered 20 minutes (don't peek). Makes about 12 medium dumplings.
My Dad's recipe, and I've never seen a failure -- at his hands or mine
My two best are stuffed mushrooms and spaghetti carbonara. There is this one dish I made up that has no name and is still in the works. It uses 3 types of pepers, mushrooms and onion. It goes great with grilled steak. If anyone wants I'll post them.
I'm known for several dishes, but unfortunately, I don't have a "recipe" that I follow.
- Gooey chocolate brownies
- Hazelnut praline brownies
- Chocolate chip cookies
- Chicken/codroe rolls with cheese
- Fish chowder
- Lamb stew
- Lasanga
- Fettucini alfredo with tomatoes
- Spaghetti sauce
- Pumpkin soup
- Seafood medley

I can't hold a candle to any of these recipes. I don't cook that much, but I am known for a good beef stew among some family members. It's really basic, but I like to stew the beef for a long time and that never fails.
Sounds like it's time for a "Cooking with Cattitude" Volume 2!
These recipes and dishes all sound wonderful!!

Yes it does...thinking of recipes my mom is known for that I can share...Hungarian Nut Rolls, Pennsylvania Funny Dutch Cake (hmm...may have put that one in volume one...can't recall!)
Ah..I'm in a baking mood, and as a prediabetic, I don't bother if it isn't "carbworthy"!!
