I am from Macedonia (formerly Yugoslavia), but live in Michigan right now. What is your nationality, cause u knew the original name for the stuffed grape leaves?

Irish/English -- American really...We have a Greek Festival yearly here -- they make great Dolmades. I've made them myself -- my favorite Greek dessert is Kadaifi (sp?) -- it's like Baklava, but not as sweet.

Greece is our southern neighbor. The way we make the kadaifi is just as sweet as baklava and I had a bite of one like 3 weeks ago and couldnt stand it anymore - I just got used to the healthy food. But I can still pound down all those awsome Balkan cakes...juicy and full of flavor...I gotta stop talking about it, its getting me hungry

This is a typical Yugoslavian recipe:

PROYA

200ml plain yogurt
125ml oil
3 eggs
18 spoons (corn) flour
1 spoon baking powder
150-200gr feta cheese

Mix all this (first without the cheese) with a mixer and then add the cheese to it. Preheat the oven at 350F and then bake until done. You can check with putting toothpick through it to see if its done.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH

Take 5-6 big onions (more or less, it depends on how big the pot is - the onions have to fill at least half of it), cut them up nicelly and sautee them in a pot. When onion soft add 2lbs of beef (less or more, depends on how much people u wanna feed and how big is your pot). When the meat is not so red anymore, add some water, salt, black pepper and oregano and let it simmer until the meat is so tender that it falls a part. When done, you can put some beef gravy (or not). The grand finale: turn off the stove, in a cup put cold water and few spoons of flour and paprika and pour it in the pot, while stirring. Its all done when the goulash is a little bit thicker.

Here's a Protein Cookie recipe for *ahem* those on a competition diet but its their bday...

Here's a nutritious protein bar or protein cookie recipe you make into a bar or small cookies by simply modifying the amount of water you use for the batter. These are high-protein, nutrient-dense, and easy to make, yet you can eat the whole batch for under 400 calories and get 100%DV Vitamins A, C, E, 200%DV B-12, B-6, 47%DV Calcium, 18%DV Iron as wells as essential fats, high protein and fiber, and a blend of low gylcemic, complex carbohydrates.
INGREDIENTS:

3 Tbsp Udo's Wholesome Fast Food Powder
2 scoops Bomber's Blend Protein Powder (or any low-carb Chocolate or Vanilla Whey Protein Powder)
5 Tbsp oatmeal flour/oatflour **
1 egg white
~4-6 Tbsp water
1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)
3 packets Splenda (optional)
PREPARATION:

Directions: Preheat over to 350. Mix all ingredients together in small bowl. Prepare as bars or cookies and bake as directed.
TO MAKE BARS: Use ~6 Tbsp water for the batter. The batter should look like a thick, somewhat stick paste very similar to brownie dough.

Spread the dough onto a cookie sheet or baking pan coated with nonstick spray. You can use ANY size pan you have because the batter will maintain it's shape (just like you). Spread the batter it about 1/2 inch thick. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cut into bars immediately and eat or refrigerate.
TO MAKE DROP COOKIES: use less water (~4-5 Tbsp). The cookie dough will be thick but still sticky. Drop dough by portion size desired onto a cookie sheet sprayed with non stick spray. Bake 8-10 minutes. Although the dough is dark, you will be able to see a slight brown edge when they are cooked. You can eat them warm or cooled.

Kitchen Tip: Making Oatmeal/Oat Flour: To make your own oatflour, all you need to do is put a cup of oatmeal in a regular household blender and blend it on high...it will turn into a flour. Store in a covered bowl in the pantry. It takes 1 minute and is VERY easy and cheap alternative to buying in the store.
