This lemon yogurt cake is the perfect summer dessert and even tastes better on the second (and third) day after baking. It’s so easy to make, you don’t even need an electric mixer! Try it with a side of fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For those interested in making a healthier [...]
My love for flour tortillas goes way back. I have great memories of watching my grandmother and great-grandmother make huge batches of tortillas and cook them on an old wood-burning stove. Something about that stove seemed to add the perfect flavor to the tortilla and brown it in all of the right places. I’d anxiously [...]
When I first saw this recipe I wasn’t sure what to think – chocolate bread? When would I eat this – for breakfast? As dessert? I certainly wouldn’t be making a sandwich with it. As it turns out, anytime is a good time for chocolate bread! This delicious snack has a great texture – chunks [...]
I love eggs and at this time of the year, there are plenty of excuses to have them around. The only problem is that I can never remember how much time it takes to prepare the perfect soft-boiled egg or how long I need to leave an egg in simmering water in order to poach [...]
One of my favorite snacks is chips and salsa – actually, to be honest, I could probably do without the chips and just go for the salsa! In the past I’ve always preferred tomato or tomatillo-based salsas and never really paid much attention to other varieties – until recently. I was shopping at Whole Foods [...]

There’s nothing like a relaxing, leisurely breakfast – especially on the weekends. Unfortunately, there isn’t always time to lounge around and eat – in fact, most mornings I find myself grabbing a quick bite on the go. This homemade granola is an easy, delicious addition to your morning routine, regardless of how much time you [...]
The moment I saw this recipe, I knew I needed to make these. They require a bit of work, but are worth the effort – they are delicious! This was my first time making soft pretzels, so I took and posted many more photos than I normally would – I hope you find them helpful. [...]
Before heading out of town on vacation, I had time to make one of my favorite cold weather dishes – Broccoli Cheese Soup. Not only does this taste great on the first day, but it’s perfect for lunch the following afternoon. I like to enjoy this soup with a piece of crusty bread – especially homemade boule. [...]
For the last few years I’ve been known to occasionally indulge in one of these sweet treats during visits to my local Whole Foods. Last week, to my dismay, I was advised that they are no longer making these. I can’t believe it – what am I going to do without my sour cherry turnovers?! [...]
