Traditional Ukrainian Christmas Foods

A few of the traditional Ukrainian foods I enjoy making over the Christmas holiday.

Khrustyky are Ukrainian fried cookies dusted with powdered sugar.

Holopchi are cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef, rice, buckwheat groats, onions and butter seasoned with salt and pepper with stewed tomatoes on top.

Borscht made with beets, cabbage, onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes and beef stew meat. Season with dill, bay leaves and vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste.

Babka bread was not only a holiday tradition but a staple growing up.

          

          Then there's the

'Lazy Cabbage Casserole'

Layered like a lasagna and bit less

labor intensive not having to stuff

the cabbage rolls.
