Strawberry Soufflé
This light and fluffy strawberry soufflé is surprisingly easy to make and makes for a beautiful dessert any time of the year. There are some recipes which sound too intimidating to try. And when I do try them and see how easy it actually is, I am left wondering what took me so long. Soufflés are…
Blueberry & Blackberry Clafoutis
In this take on the classic French baked dessert, I have swapped the cherries for seasonal blueberries and blackberries. This delightful blueberry and blackberry clafoutis makes for a delicious summer dessert or brunch recipe. Serve as such or with a scoop of ice cream! One of our favorite holiday mom-son activity is baking. We don’t…

Tomato, Squash & Herbed Ricotta Whole Wheat Galette
Galette, that genius idea to make pie quite literally without any of the frills and fringes involved in the making of a traditional pie. No wonder they call it the lazy woman’s (or man’s, to be politically correct, if you will) pie! Galettes come in all sizes and shapes, small or big, rounded or square…

Red Wine-Braised Chicken And Mushrooms {Almost Coq Au Vin}
I thought lady winter had forgotten all about us Texans. I was wrong. She just decided to pay us a late visit. Winters are hard, no doubt, even in this time and age when our homes are automatically heated with the flip of a button and our bodies are hugged by the warmth of fabric….
Crème Pâtissière Filled Mini Apple Tarts
The French have it all. The most romantic of all languages, beautiful places, good wine, gorgeous fashion and most importantly, amazing food. And no, I’ve never been to France, though it’s right at the top of my list. But I did take two years of French, which to an extent, helps me to pronounce French…
Single-Serve Baked Eggs & Potatoes (Eggs In Pot Or Oeufs En Cocotte)
Good things do come in small packages. This is especially true when it comes to food and food presentation (think cupcakes, cake pops or meringue cookies). But why limit yourself to sweet treats? Any savory dish that goes from oven to table to dishwasher in single-serve bowls is a win-win in my book. I bought…
Vanilla Meringue Cookies
Meringues – the very name sounds romantic, exotic, and intimidating, to novice cooks like me. I love the light, airy crispness of meringue cookies. I never imagined they are so simple to make. Well, at least in theory. It has only a couple of ingredients. But the technique… that is where I went wrong! For my…
