Armenian Meatballs
I discovered Armenian Meatballs when I was researching hors d’oeuvres to make for a cocktail party at my home. A group of us were going on an Art Tour of Russia. I knew we wouldn’t be able to eat meat there because it wasn’t Kosher. I decided to give everyone […]

Apricot Glazed Turkey
Don’t let anyone tell your turkey is dry and boring! Spreading the margarine and herbs under the skin covering the breast and the outside of the whole turkey adds incredible flavor.
