Standard Russian/Ukranian soup, based on my dad's recipe. Takes about 2 hours to make, but it's not difficult - just a lot of chopping. I'm usually not very precise with the amount of each ingredient, so I'll give ranges rather than precise numbers. Careful with the beet - it'll make everything red.

Ingredients:
Beef - 2-3 lb
Beet - 1 (standard-potato-sized)
Potatoes - 2-3
Carrots - 3 (medium carrots)
Onion
Red bell pepper
Cabbage - about 3 potatoes' worth
Tomato paste - half a can
Dry dill weed - teaspoon? tablespoon?
Salt, pepper, oil

Cindy and I got adventurous this weekend and made a fruit tart:
 
 Here's the recipe we used, from JoyOfBaking.com. It does take a while to make (at least the first time), but comes out very good. Do let the filling sit overnight as it gets better the next day. And I used vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean.
