A nostalgia-inspired dish passed down from my father. Depression era comfort food that his mother used to make when he was a kid – canned salmon and peas in a creamy milk gravy.
Lemon Pudding Cake
Another NYT recipe that is super simple and easy to make; a pleasure to the taste buds in love with lemon (or any other citrus) curd.
Cranberry Scones with Orange Zest and a Hint of Rosemary
Yet another scone recipe. These came out so lovely when I made them for my gram’s 94th birthday. By request from my mom, I had to record the recipe for future replication.
Saffron Aioli
When my lovely neighbor brought me back saffron from her recent trip to Spain I decided to make this silky saffron aioli to bring to mah jong night at here place. I blanched some seasonal veggies for dipping, along with some cucumbers, pea shooters, and white-wine poached shrimp. Thanks to Food & Wine for the inspiration and recipe that I adapted.
Tofu Satay Air Fried
Super fast, easy, and flavorful tofu snacko.
Lemon Cake With Coconut Glaze
Another knockout NYT recipe from Melissa Clark. “With a poundcake-like texture and zippy lemon flavor, this tender treat is loaded with grated citrus zest and topped with a sweet, mellow coconut frosting.”
Cannoli Dip
Even better than a cannoli in my opinion. The lemon shines through in this dip that is less sweet than your average bakery cannoli. The anise flavor in the pizzelle is the perfect complement.
Easy Chocolate Cake
Super simple, super delicious go-to cake from NYT.
Hygge (“hooga”) Hooch
This Aquavit inspired cocktail was created for a friend’s viking themed birthday party.
Lemon Lavender Gin Fizz
Perfectly refreshing tipple for a beautiful Spring day.
