Hello summer vacation.  It is hard to believe that it has been a week already. Yesterday my son wanted to make ice cream, banana ice cream, for his brother.  Isn’t that sweet?  His brother became a brace-face and now his mouth is very tender.  This recipe was a total accident.  I still am shocked at [...]

If you are looking for the “perfect” make-ahead recipe for the long holiday weekend coming up I have just the thing for you. I made this cake on Tuesday and have left it on the counter, uncovered, for 2 days.  It is still moist, and better than the first day I made it.  Which might [...]

This is a quick variation on a piccata.  At least that is what I’m going with.  It has the basic lemons, capers and a splash of wine.  I love this meal because it feels really special but is one of the speediest of weeknight meals.  Monday is “fresh fish” day at the co-op, find out [...]

Before you turn up your nose, hear me out. These are damn tasty, and they have the taste and texture of regular lemon bars. The only real difference is the addition of tofu for the eggs. I dare you to give this recipe a try and see what you think. I did not divulge my [...]

Donut “Wholes”

READ MORE –>

Thanks for the request for the recipe for these cake donuts. I am calling it “wholes” instead of holes because these were not the result of remnants from proper doughnuts. That would be too much work! I made these for Christmas morning when we were relaxing as a family, but they are also great as [...]

It is December 6, the day when St. Nikolaus sneaks in and leaves sweets, clementines and maybe nuts in the shoes and/or socks of children around the world. This is not a very common to find someone around these parts who celebrates. So in honor of the holiday and my husband getting from from Paris [...]
