These recipes and stories brought up some wonderful memories. Thank you
My mother made a sweet version of this with sugar and walnuts, no poppyseeds.
Thank you! Blessings!
Same here. In my childhood, back in Slovakia, this was one of my favorite pasta dishes w just poppy seed on it. I got to make it. Thank you.
instead of butter, olive oil or avocado oil would make this a wonderful vegan recipe. Tonight’s dinner.
