Great post!! Just one question about the nests... Do you bake the nests after you pile the meringue on top and if so how long to bake the nests? It's just to brown the top a bit, correct??

My mom made these at least once a month throughout my childhood. The only difference between her recipe and yours was she used tomato juice and thinly sliced onion on top. Special memories,

Hi Julie! Thanks for leaving your comment. That's one of the things I really love about sharing recipes, the way they can pull a thread through time and bring us back into the company of those who are dear to us. I'm so glad you enjoyed Gram's Galumpki!

My mom made these growing up and I loved them. She passed away a few years ago and when I saw this recipe I knew it was the right one! I made them today and it made me smile and cry at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. They are just like my mom's.

What a wonderful lamb! Both adorable and yummy looking! Happy Easter to you, too!

In my experience I would roast a cornish hen uncovered at 450F for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 375F and continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 170 - 180 degrees, or until juices run clear when cut between a leg and thigh, approximately 30 minutes more. Times will vary depending on the actual size of the cornish hen. If you buy your hen frozen it is also important to let it thaw completely, preferably in the refrigerator, before roasting.

Good luck with your dinner and enjoy your Le Creuset pot. I love mine for making pot roast and roasting lamb shanks too. Happy Easter!

Question - what about making this with Cornish hens? How long would I need to bake them for? Making 2 for Easter dinner. Thank you, Liz in Houston. P.S. This will be my first time using my Le Creuset pot my mother gave me years ago for Christmas.

My attempts at recipes never look like the posted pics on blogs or photos in glossy books ... until tonight. I followed your recipe and roasted a chicken in my cheapie World Market dutch oven and my bird was beautiful. Of course the big pay off was that it tasted divine. Thanks for the post!

It is just as described in the post. There is nothing more to add except maybe to mention that the chicken can go in the crock pot frozen. The main thing is to make sure you add enough Italian dressing to cover the chicken, and then cook in the crock pot all day at the "Medium" setting. We enjoy this kind of chicken with a side of salad and/or rice, and sometimes shred it for use in sandwiches.

I picked up some Wish Bone Italian Dressing for this meal. (It was on sale! :-) As a general rule, almost any dressing will work and it is fun to experiment with different flavors.

Hey Lisa, I pray that you heal fast and and I am glad to know you are taken care of. These enchilada's look amazing and I have never thought to do the Italian dressing thing in the crock pot. What kind/brand of Italian dressing do you use guest blogger?

Its not Kentucky Chili without some peanut butter sandwiches or crackers and peanut butter!

That's the way I grew up eating it.

I like chili any way its fixed.
