Classic Goulash
This was a great easy recipe. I too grew up on this (yet I'm from New York, not the midwest) it almost tastes like my moms used to. I made some modifications using the advice of other reviews and also made some of my own. Half the recipe certainly makes enough for a family of 4 or even 5. I omitted the onions and fresh garlic (due to my picky son) and substituted worcestershire for the soy sauce. I also added in ketchup which gave it some sweetness and then added fresh ground black pepper - I used sea salt and also some garlic salt in place of the seasoned salt. I had no bay leaves on hand so did not use those. Delicious comfort food - you can also throw in some shredded cheddar cheese in each serving bowl which will melt into the hot goulash which is great.

Russian Potato Salad from Costa Rica
This is truly a delicious and unique potato salad. I make as is with the exception of the beets - I buy pickled beets as it definitely kicks up the flavor. You don't need to add too much to this recipe, likely just a bit more mayo than it calls for (my preference). I also chop the eggs as I prefer that texture to diced.

Greek Chicken
This is an excellent chicken recipe! I have made this twice now and both times altered the ingredients because of what was on hand. I used thin sliced chicken breast, I only had dried herbs/seasonings and only used thyme and oregano and garlic powder. I also added just a little bit of fresh ground sea salt. The first time I made this I added fresh lemon juice, the second time I made it I omitted it (again because did not have on hand). Both times the chicken was great! I served this for company which included a crew of 4 (5 yrs old and under) kids that typically won't touch anything that has an herb on it and they devoured it! I also sliced the chicken after it was cooked the first time and used it to make gyros and then the second time just served the breast pieces whole as part of a BBQ. Also, don't worry if you don't have the marinade time, the dish will still be terrific! Thanks Karen for giving me a great recipe variation for chicken that I will make again and again!
