Step into Our Winter Kitchen...

One of the fun things about the Winter Season is huddling around the warm kitchen stove to prepare a nourishing, hot meal. Our feature meal this month is
Manchurian Borscht Soup

This hearty, healthy, old-country soup will fill your home with its wonderful aromas and your tummy with nutrient rich goodness.
