Lemon Chicken Wraps with Garlic Tahini Sauce
We have been really busy with end of school stuff here. My oldest is home from college and my middle son just graduated high school and my youngest is moving up from middle to high, so I haven’t had much time to take pics and write recipes…. but hopefully back to it now. I have…
Cherry Citrus Vodka Punch
This week’s cocktail is one I made up with stuff I had around 🙂 We got some cherry vodka that is the type that isn’t sweet, just flavored, so I wanted to make something with that. I also had some tart cherry liqueur from Michigan left (you can use Heering also as a substitute). I…
Heidesand (German Shortbread Cookies)
Shortbread cookies are one of the simplest and easiest cookies to make, and you only need staple ingredients so they are quick to make any time. I have a bunch of shortbread cookies I make on repeat, but I saw this recipe for German shortbread that uses brown butter so of course I wanted to…
Scallion Pancake Challah Bread
I was really intrigued when I saw a recipe similar to this on online. Scallion pancakes are often a staple in dim sum restaurants and they are one of my favorites. I’ve made them at home a few times too. They are layers of dough with scallion filling that are rolled out into circles and…
Peanut Butter Millionaire’s Shortbread
Anyone else completely obsessed with The Great British Bake Off and it’s spinoffs? I recently saw the kids make this recipe on Junior Bake Off and immediately wanted to make it because we love shortbread and chocolate and peanut butter is a no brainer. These are easy to make, other than hitting the right temp…
Potato, Bacon and Gruyere Galette
Galettes are so much fun to make. They have crust similar to pie, but since they are free form it is a lot less effort. You still get the wonderful buttery, flaky crust, but in a more rustic form. I have a couple other galette recipes on here you can also try. Spinach and Artichoke…
Thai Chicken Basil Rolls with Hoisin Dipping Sauce
These Thai basil rolls with ground chicken were pretty quick to make, but they have a lot of flavor from the Thai basil, cilantro, ginger, garlic, jalapeno and the dipping sauce. They were tasty and we all enjoyed them. I used raw/cook at home tortillas for the wraps for these and honestly I think they…
Accordion Potatoes
Have you all seen accordion potatoes on social media? My kids saw these and wanted to try them so I made some. They are basically just slices of potato that your score so that they spread apart to give more surface area to get crispy. You can make them either baked or fried. I made…
Herb Marinated Pork Chops with Tart Apple Chutney
I think these pork chops are my favorite pork chops I have eaten in quite a while. I used thick cut boneless chops which were marinated in a lemon, garlic and herb brine overnight and then smoked. The apple chutney is sweet, sour, tangy with a strong mustard component and it was a perfect compliment…
Mango Coconut Mousse Cake
I was trying to remember where my family’s obsession with entremet cakes came from, and I think we had one at a bakery in New Orleans the first time we went there. They tend to be fairly delicate cakes with layers of mousse and cake and fruit gelee. They are a pleasure to eat, and…
