I've been making homemade pizza for several years now with a dough recipe handed down from my Mom.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love to make traditional Ukrainian foods during the holidays - kolach at christmas, paska at easter, and pyrohy whenever I have time.

Egg Noodles
I would strongly advise against adding salt to any fresh pasta dough. It dries out the dough and makes the dough much stiffer than it should be, and consequently the noodles are thicker than they should be, as they are more difficult to roll thinly. Add salt to the sauce or soup you will serve the noodles with instead! Otherwise, this is a great basic egg noodle recipe.

Easy Shepherd's Pie with Garlic Romano Potatoes
This is a great basic recipe that can be easily altered to your taste! In my most recent version, I used fresh vegetables (peas and green beans), diced them and sauteed them in a bit of olive oil in a skillet before adding them to the beef. After the beef was browned, I added 1/2 cup of red wine and reduced the mixture until most of the liquid was evaporated. Then I mixed in the vegetables and herbs. This added a lot of flavour.

Jeanie's Falafel
This is my go-to falafel recipe. It seems to be necessary to add an egg to the recipe, though, or else you run the danger of your falafel disintegrating in the frying pan. Fresh herbs make a world of difference, but the falafel is still tasty without them. I usually pat the falafel circles flat and pan-fry them in a thin layer of olive oil. I've tried baking them but they aren't as flavourful.
