Modern Twists on Traditional Ukrainian Food | #Ukrainianfood - Foodmeanderings. com

I am Ukrainian, grew up on Ukrainian food and absolutely love it! However, it isn't always necessarily the healthiest or quickest food to make. In fact, it can be downright fattening and time sucking. My Baba's borscht took endless hours to make and as a working Mom with 2 busy kids, I simply don't have that time. For this post, I have gathered 12 Amazingly Delicious Modern Twists on Traditional Ukrainian recipes from my fellow food bloggers. These Ukrainian dishes will not only save you time, but calories as well.

Modern Twists on Traditional Ukrainian Food | #Ukrainianfood - Foodmeanderings. com

This round-up includes everything from Ukrainian breakfast to dessert (Ukrainian cookies), vegetarian borscht, paleo, low-carb and gluten-free cabbage rolls, perogy grilled cheese and bread machine Paska. And best of all, it's completely Baba approved!

In light of this, I have made it my mission to modernize Ukrainian cuisine by making it quicker, easier and healthier.  I have also created lighter and allergy friendly Ukrainian recipes.

Low-carb Turkey Cabbage Rolls
Cabbage rolls make winter better! They're comfort food that warms you up but traditional recipes can be high in calories. In these Low Carb Turkey Cabbage Rolls I've left out the rice and swapped out the beef and pork for lean turkey. These delicious cabbage rolls are perfect for paleo and ketogenic diets and for anyone looking for a hearty meal under 300 calories

      No, I'm sorry I don't! But you could try substituting a gluten-free flour. I'd love to hear how it turns out!
