"Easy baklava recipe" was the headline. It looked delicious. I'd never made it before. We were having dinner with our Palestinian neighbor and I wanted to bring something from his side of the world. Of course, he'd lived here for many decades and is an American citizen, but still. Why not give it . . .
Hey, I know. You're dieting and you're hungry. You want some flavor and you want some crunch. Oh, how well I know it. You simply can not face another salad, though. You want something new. Snacky. Yes, something snacky. An easy, low-calorie snack. So when a friend gave me some of these and told me . . .
"I had an organic box delivered one year and kept forgetting to use the vegetables, so I wasted much of it." This might be you, right? Because I have heard this--or the fear of it--from friends.

This easy herbed rainbow carrots dish (organic, of course) was a big hit with company the other night. It's so simple! Rainbow carrots are bit more earthy-tasting and they make such a pretty presentation. This is one of those easy recipes where you really just eyeball how much seasoning you use, . . .
I'd moved to the San Francisco Bay area just the year before when a guy I'd met took me out on the town. It was a cold, wintry night in San Francisco, so we stopped in late at the Buena Vista to warm up with an Irish coffee. Maybe you didn't know that Irish coffee was invented in San Francisco at . . .
I've tasted a chocolate chip cookie or two in my time--they're my all-time favorite cookie, but only home made. No question that Toll-House has a very good chocolate chip cookie recipe and I thought it was the best chocolate chip recipe ever. That is, until sister-in-love brought us some Neiman . . .
