Mom's Cottage Cheese Borscht
"One of my favourite meals growing up, especially on a cold winter day, was my mom's borscht. This one is made with garden greens, cottage cheese, and buttermilk, so it's high in protein and vitamins. Serve with warm buns, and it's a hearty meal."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in St Albert, Ab., Canada. That is just north of Edmonton. I was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and moved here in 1981. I have been married for 24 years, and have 2 children, one of which is now married. I work full time at Canada Post, which keeps me fairly busy, but I do enjoy to cook...when I have time. I rarely follow a recipe 100%, preferring to alter ingredients to my liking. I often just "create" my own entrees, sometimes good....sometimes not so good.
