Recipes

At the onset of each new year, while most normal people resolve to eat less sweets and avoid calories … I always crave chocolate cake.

In my messy organization of recipes today, I came across the recipe and story of one of my favorite cookies that I used to bake with my mom every single year.

Not surprisingly, this is a very forgiving recipe, & lends itself beautifully to switching it up each time. A classy presentation is on ice.

My post for this week includes how to make a sublime cool salad that is made with sashimi-quality ahi tuna, fresh tomatoes, avocado, and citrus.

Admittedly, this story comes from a woman whose heart is really not in Halloween. Having said that, her heart revels in the joy of autumn baking.

It’s fun when two food cultures meet on one plate. At least I think so. Especially when they play nicely and are compatible, in a seriously delicious way.
