There is not much to say about them except that they are excellent, and surprisingly not that unhealthy. I have made these a couple times now and they are always satisfyingly savory and crispy. I use a mandolin to thinly slice the onions and I use the grater plate from my food processor to grate… Continue reading Oven Baked Potato Hash Brown Cake Recipe
Homemade Egg Fettucine Noodles
There are very few things that I can do well. If you knew me personally, you’d know I’m not just being modest. Luckily, one of those things happens to be making fresh, homemade, ridiculously delicious, egg noodle pasta. I say so because Sara has quite an affinity for those silky, carbo-stuffed, relationship saving strands of… Continue reading Homemade Egg Fettucine Noodles
Cornish Hen Recipe
Are you bored with chicken? It was my boredom with roasting chickens and an excellent episode of “Good Eats” that got me thinking about making some Cornish game hens. Are you asking yourself, what is a Cornish game hen? Well, you’re in luck. A Cornish game hen is not Cornish, nor is it game. It… Continue reading Cornish Hen Recipe
How to Make a Proper Danish
I am by no means an expert on laminated dough. I have failed previously in feeble attempts to make puff pastry and croissants. Sometimes to the extent that I deserved to be beaten repeatedly with soap bound in a bath towel. The reason I say this is because every joe-blow showoff with a food blog… Continue reading How to Make a Proper Danish

The aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg… Continue reading Delicious Blueberry Crumble Cake
Almond Pastry Cream and Marzipan Recipe
MARZIPAN!!!!!! After a subliminal prodding, I made some almond paste from scratch. Considering how much of the stuff a commercial bakery would go through, I made a very small amount, but I realized that I was only going to need a little bit of it to make the pastry cream to fill my Danish, so… Continue reading Almond Pastry Cream and Marzipan Recipe
Lemon Tart with Special Crust
It is a lemon tart made using whole lemons – zest, pulp, and juice, complete with a lemon infused tart dough. No waste in this kitchen, people! I decided on a whim that I wanted to make some sort of fruit tart, and was intrigued and inspired when I saw this recipe in a cooking… Continue reading Lemon Tart with Special Crust
Greek Stuffed Peppers
This was a great choice and something that I would have probably not chosen to make myself. These peppers are stuffed with lean ground beef, onions, zucchini, spinach, and bulgur and then sprinkled with salty feta cheese. I know many of my fellow bloggers substituted out the beef for a leaner white meat, which I… Continue reading Greek Stuffed Peppers
Lemon Blueberry Souffle Pancakes
Normally, weekend breakfasts in our house are lox bagels or eggs, and I do try to keep it on the healthy side. It is rare that we eat pancakes, or French toast, or bacon. So when we do decide to eat some pancakes, we always make luxurious pancakes from scratch. My current favorite pancake recipe… Continue reading Lemon Blueberry Souffle Pancakes
Almond Lemon Yogurt Cake
Yogurt cakes are one of my favorite things to bake, mainly because they are so moist and tasty but not full of saturated fat. I heart low fat baking as it allows me to indulge without gaining a bajillion pounds. Anyway, this cake fit in perfectly with my ode to the lemon this week. It… Continue reading Almond Lemon Yogurt Cake
