Oh this is a good cookie for those days that you plan ahead to make a good cookie. I suppose it could also be an off the cuff “I need a cookie now" recipe as well. If you have the ingredients handy really any recipe could be an "I need a cookie now" recipe - made, [...]
When I went shopping last week I bought a head of cauliflower - bright and fresh looking, some green leafy parts on the side. How could I say no!? This is a really tasty dish and even the carnivores in your family will enjoy it! This is cauliflower florets, marinated and oven roasted with - [...]
Special day for me today, I get to make anything I want for the person whose birthday it is! And this is our first quarantine birthday cake together – hopefully we will be able to celebrate “when things get back to normal” with family and friends soon. My wife loves desserts – okay I know [...]

So things are looking better, still need to stay focused and diligent about best practices though. While the celebrations this year (and I am so tired of saying this), will be very different [...]
For those of you who are regular followers of my blog, you know I’m a huge fan of Dorie Greenspan. I’ve always liked her recipes and I especially like the way they can be adapted – although they don’t ever need to be, to ingredients I happen to have on hand. This is inspired by [...]
