Kisiel is a popular dessert in Poland and other countries of Eastern Europe. It consists of thickened fruit juice sweetened with sugar. It is thickened usually by starch.
In Poland one can buy powdered kisiel in the small bag. You only need to add a water and cook it before serving. But it is possible to prepare it since scratch quite easily. This can be a delicious addition to the Thanksgiving dinner. It can be served cold or warm.
Below is the example of the Cranberry-Lemon kisiel, but one can replace cranberry with any other soft fruit. Cranberry in Poland is known under the name "zurawina".

Potatoes pancakes are a favorite dish in Polish cuisine for many years, especially for a cold season. This dish is easy to prepare and the ingredients are cheap, therefore the pancakes were served in peasant homes but also in royal palaces.

I love Polish pancakes. They are easy to prepare and are delicious to eat, especially during cold seasons. Since Polish pancakes (nalesniki) are sweet, they are recommended usually for breakfast, but they can be served in any time during the day just as a simple hot dish.

Donuts are a traditional food the week before Lent or the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. For many Polish families pączki are a treat for Sundays, holidays and other special occasions.
They have long been a favorite at our house, but none have ever come up to the hundreds made by my grandmother Stella Grochowska during my childhood and early years of marriage. I remember helping her break the many dozens of eggs she used. I wanted to "get into the dough," but she never allowed me to try my hand at the kneading.
