A "Cheap" Recipe
We've been a little busy lately with a birthday, friends visiting and just, you know, life. I finally decided it was time to do a new post. I found some inspiration on Reddit of all places. I'll admit it was my first time ever exploring that site and got a little lost down the rabbit hole. Somehow I ended up clicking on a thread for "cheap recipe ideas" and came to a recipe for Haluski.
Made with just flour, butter, eggs, and cabbage, this dish is — in fact — pretty cost effect to make a big batch. Even with the cost of eggs being high.
Pairs well with Keilbasa
Haluski is a hearty little side dish that goes great with any kind of pork sausage or kielbasa. So this is an easy meal that's something totally outside the norm. I like to throw some keilbasa in a pan with a little water and hubby like to add a splash of ale, cook that up, slice it, and pair it with haluski for a complete meal.
Homemade Noodles
You can make this dish with egg noodles or homemade noodles.
I ended up making my own noodles only because I thought I had purchased egg noodles... only to find out I didn't. I think it was a happy accident though because the homemade spaetzle made this dish taste extra yummy and it really only took an extra few minutes.
My kids love making the noodles. We use a potato ricer to press the batter into the water to make the noodles.
