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.

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 ArtichokeContinueContinue reading “Potato, Bacon and Gruyere Galette”

Romaine Salad with Toasted Pepitas, Blue Cheese and Pickled Red Onion
My favorite kinds of salads are the ones that have lots of interesting flavor, texture and brightness. This salad was simple, but it still met all of those criteria.

If I had to choose one southern dish that I especially love, it would be tomato pie. I had never eaten tomato pie before moving to North Carolina, and was a tiny little lunch place within walking distance of my house that served it when we first moved here. I was immediately hooked. What isContinueContinue reading “Tomato Pie”
Celery, Apple and Blue Cheese Coleslaw
As I have mentioned before, I love pretty much anything with blue cheese. When I saw this recipe for coleslaw with celery, apple and blue cheese, I really wanted to try it out. This combination sounded great. I also liked that fact that this recipe didn’t use mayo, since sometimes coleslaw can be so mayoContinueContinue reading “Celery, Apple and Blue Cheese Coleslaw”
