Hi Shirley, you can find many of those recipes that have been adapted on the blog! Ukrainian Borscht, Chicken Noodle Soup, Lettuce Salad with Tomato and Cucumber and Ukrainian Vinegar Coleslaw just to name a few 🙂 Enjoy!
This looks SO gooood!! I came across your post when looking for a light meal to take to a friend & her husband bc she’s recovering from surgery. Do you think this would travel well if I put the toppings in a casserole dish and then cut the tostadas as chips for them to use to scoop the toppings out?
Yes, that is a great idea and how thoughtful of you to take it to a friend. I am sure she will be perked up by both seeing you and meal!
Thank you for these healthy recipes they are very much appreciated ☺️👍. I was in need of some ground turkey recipes & new chicken recipes. They are lifesavers for me.
My pleasure, Sharon!
