Mama Miche’s Magic Kitchen
Makes Your Kitchen MAGIC!
Welcome to my recipe collection. Here you will find my delicious dishes, both new and old. I will also share my take on some essential kitchen standards. All of these are designed to be simple and prepared quickly (though some recipes can take a long time to actually cook). I hope you enjoy them.
Cheese Blintz Pancakes
There are no easier pancakes than these to make, and you should always double this recipe. Always! It's so delicious and light and packs a little protein punch with the cottage cheese. It is a helluva lot less work than homemade blintzes and satisfies the taste buds that sometimes crave a cheese blintz. You know what I mean? It can't just be me. (Can it?) I love a good cheese blintz, and this recipe is a much healthier alternative made in minutes. Do not skip the lemon zest. Do not, I repeat, do not skip the lemon zest! Listen to me. You know, Mama knows best.

Smothered Smashburgers
This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Smothered Smashburgers
Not to be confused with Smash Mouth or Hulk Smash! A hibachi grill, ground meat, and some aggression are all you need for a great Smashburger. It's a simple recipe that anyone can master, and we like to smother ours with caramelized onions and cheese. Why? Because cheese makes everybody happy… unless you're lactose intolerant (sorry about that). And the caramelized onions hit it with just a touch of sweetness.
Mama Miche's Meatloaf
This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen, Meatloaf
Meatloaf is a traditional dish with roots in Germany, Scandinavia, and Belgium, cousin to the Dutch meatball but no relation to Marvin "Bat out of hell" Lee Aday, aka the recording artist Meatloaf. There are even early records in Rome of a dish made with chopped meat, bread, and wine. It's been around.
The meatloaf we know and love has its origins in scrapple, served by German-Americans in Pennsylvania since colonial times. Scrapple doesn't look appealing. I've never tried it, but it's quite popular in the state where we currently live. Maybe one day I will. One never knows, do one?
