    My mom used to make this recipe when I was growing up, so it brings back good memories. As the name says, it is a very moist and delicious sweet bread, a favorite of mine. Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do!

    Ingredients:

    2 cups milk
    2 cups flour
    2 cups sugar
    2 eggs, beaten
    3 tablespoons oil
    2 cups chopped walnuts
    1 21oz. can cherry pie filling
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1-2 tablespoons vinegar
    powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

    CherryNutBreadIngredients

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 350 F.
    Place milk in a large bowl. Slowly pour flour a little at a time, while mixing on low with a mixer, to prevent lumps.

    CherryNutBreadFlour

    Add sugar and mix together.

    CherryNutBreadSugar

    Add beaten eggs, oil, walnuts and cherries. Use only the actual cherries, discard the liquid they’re in.

    Place baking soda in a regular tablespoon and spread.

    Slowly pour vinegar on top of baking soda, a little at a time, mixing every now and then, until baking soda stops reacting.

    Pour over the rest of ingredients and mix. Pour into a 13″ X 9″ baking pan.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until brown.

    Cool for a few minutes. Cut the bread into serving size pieces. I have to say though, using a knife for cutting was a bit tricky for me, since the edges would break off. But if you want perfect looking pieces without the fuss, you can always use the Perfect Brownie Baking Pan, which of course, can be used for more than just brownies!
    Sprinkle the pieces with powdered sugar and serve warm or cold.

    Moldovans call this recipe Cabbage Salad. It’s basically similar with the popular coleslaw, but it also uses some different ingredients, which provide a unique flavor. It is a savory, refreshing summer salad, a Moldovan favorite, especially when grilling out. It tastes as good during the other seasons too! :)

    Ingredients:

    1/2 small cabbage, or about 8 cups shredded cabbage
    12 radishes, or so
    1/2 large cucumber
    1/2 medium onion
    1/2 tablespoon salt
    1 and 1/2 tablespoon vinegar
    1/4 cup oil
    1/4 cup diced dill weed

    CabbageRadishSaladIngredients

    Directions:

    Using a knife, thinly shred the cabbage as pictured below.
