Bladchinda
"Blatchinda is also spelled Blachinda, Plachinda, Platchenda, Platchinta, Blachinde, Blagenda, Bladginda, Plachenden. Alfred Opp, who was born in Bessarabia, said they spelled it "Platschenta" in reference to "Platchta" or blanket. These, of course are rounds of (pie) pastry dough filled with a pumpkin/sugar/cinnamon mixture or even a fried onion mixture, the pastry is folded shut and edges crimped, and these are baked in the oven."

I love to cook, I always look forward to trying new recipes. I am a single parent of two children so I am always looking for healthy, great tasting fast meals. I enjoy searching the web for new recipes. And when the kids and I are not in the kitchen you can find us enjoying the great outdoors.
