Goulash is a traditional Hungarian dish that’s usually made with beef.

Here’s a lighter alternative to classic goulash, made with chicken - it has the same great flavor thanks to the paprika, peppers and onions!

Here’s a traditional Russian rye bread that’s sweetened lightly with dried cranberries. This is mixed in the bread machine, then baked in the oven.

You can add nigella (black caraway) seeds to this bread to make it even tastier.
