Growing up we had it two ways. "Kapusta" was cabbage, cottage cheese and noodles or dumplings. We also just had warmed cottage cheese with dumplings. My Dad was Slovak so he introduced my Irish Mother to some of his favorite low cost to make recipes. We loved Chicken Paprikash with home made drop dumplings. We also loved polichinka, which now everyone calls "creps"... We were so poor growing up, and had a lot of meatless dishes, but we didn't care. We ate what Mom put in front of us.
