Small collection of the stuff I’ve made as a beginner
In order: Baby Ruth Cookies, Paprika Hendl, and French Onion soup.
The Baby Ruth cookies were pretty good, and came out alright. My mother was a big fan.
The Paprika Hendl… absolutely amazing. I’d hesitate to call it my favorite food because it feels like recency bias… but it’s definitely fighting for that spot. I used thin cut breasts for the chicken meat, and it worked out just fine. I also doubled the sauce part because I like some extra sauce. The galuska dumplings were good, but I didn’t have a maker for them or even a cheese grater, so I just had to wing it with a teaspoon.
The French Onion soup was very good. Surprisingly easy recipe, I thought making it would be harder than it actually was. I ended up taking a bowl to my grandmother who really enjoyed it.
