cottage cheese flatbread
I cannot recall the last time I used cottage cheese. It was all the rage in the 1970s as dieting became popular. And, it would appear it’s making a comeback.
orange olive oil cake
This cake is a cinch to make! This isn’t your typical cake batter as a blender whips the ingredients together. Years ago I made my first olive oil cake and loved the flavours and texture.
whipped coffee
Whipped coffee was invented in Macau in 1997. I had never heard of it before even though it was an internet sensation during COVID. How did I miss that?
baked asparagus bacon gnocchetti
To celebrate Spring, try this baked gnocchetti with asparagus and tomatoes. Toss in bacon and this dish makes me happy. Local asparagus is now in season and I crave it this time of the year.

cookie tiramisù
Tiramisù (pick me up in Italian) hails from Northwestern Italy in Veneto. It’s been around since the 1960s. I have made it a few times and have always enjoyed it. Desserts sometimes ‘happen’ by chance or a failed recipe needs to be saved. I made chocolate chip cookies last week.
homemade fried potato chips
According to the Smithsonian magazine, England’s earliest known recipe for chips dates to 1817. In 1853 in upstate New York Chef George Crum worked at Moon’s Lake House restaurant. He prepared thinly sliced potatoes and fried them to a crisp after Cornelius Vanderbilt sent back his french fries saying they weren’t cooked enough. It was…
