Pretzel Rolls
Is there anyone who doesn’t love a pretzel roll? To me, the perfect pretzel roll is flavorful, light and fluffy on the inside, with a dark brown, chewy (but not crisp) crust, and a hefty sprinkle of salt on top. All the best parts of …

Falafel Salad with Cucumber Dill Dressing
Happy New Year! I hope that 2013 was a fabulous year for you, and that 2014 will be even better. Once again, I am entering the new year unencumbered by resolutions, which has become my own kind of tradition, I suppose. Sure, there are projects …
Earl Grey Truffles
Mmm… is there anything better than a hot cup of earl grey tea on a cold day? Oh wait… there is… and it’s that cup of tea, plus chocolate and cream and cocoa. I’m not even a chocolate person (I know, the horror!) and I …
Cranberry Sauce
The first time that my now-husband spent Thanksgiving with my family, I asked him a few days before what dish he really liked out of the whole meal. His response was, “Oh, I really like cranberry sauce!” I asked him who in his family made …

Simple Tomato Salad

Mango Lassi Frozen Yogurt
Before I even started out on this recipe, it had several things going against it. Three strikes. First, it’s Mango Lassi frozen yogurt. Lassis have never sounded in the least bit appealing to me. I’ve been to India, and frankly, the idea of stopping at …
Quick and Easy Hamburger Buns
I’m going to apologize in advance. This would have been a better post to share in May, when there was a whole season of burger and hot dog eating ahead of us. But at least I got it in before the mother of all backyard-barbecue …
Rhubarb and Vanilla Sugar Scones
The original name for these scones was, “Naughty Rhubarb Scones”. Which is appropriate. I’ve been a bad girl. I haven’t been feeling very well (summer colds are evil), so when my parents came to pick up my little guy for an outing, my mother sent …
