	Cinnamon Rolls by Beki PagesThis one is a special request all the way from France, how could I say no?? :) I made this for a girl I stayed with and her flatmate. Cinnamon, though so commonly used here, really isn't popular everywhere. Amazing, isn't it?? They were a bit skeptical, I think, but no one can complain about a Cinnabon-style cinnamon roll. And I…	1 vote 1197 views
	Make your own ... by Beki As Beki has mentioned before when we were growing up we frequently had Baked Potatoes with Tempting Toppings. My own people don't really think that is a meal which is sad for me but I've taken the basic idea and run with it.My kids have varying tastes and sometimes it's hard to make a meal that will appeal to all 3 of them so I came…	1 vote 393 views
	Saturday Splurge: Halwa Truffles by Beki PagesThese were... amazing. Yes, I mean it. They fall into the "left-overs" category for me b/c there was a one-pound thing of halwa with just about a cup left, although I realize that some people may have trouble even finding halwa. First, what is it? It's a Mediterranean sweet (I used the Arab version) that's made from a base of…	1 vote 368 views
	Coupes Moka by Beki PagesWell, I'm going with the French title on this one, because it's pretty and doesn't sound quite as... unusual as the logical American translation. It's a gelatin dessert made with coffee. As long as the texture doesn't bother you, it's REALLY good. For my non-coffee readers, I have this suggestion: try it with hot chocolate. I kid…	1 vote 392 views
	Bell Pepper Tapenade by Beki PagesWell, you asked for an appetizer, so here it is! This one is from my new French recipe book. I served it at my crepe party on Saturday, and I think people liked it. I liked it. If you use two colors of bell peppers it's pretty, too. The part that sounds difficult is roasting the bell peppers, so let me get rid of any concern: you…	1 vote 446 views
	Saturday Splurge: Easy Molten Lava Cakes by Beki PagesWell, I have decide that as part of posting more, I'll allow myself one really non-healthy recipe per week. Because we all want something just amazing and non-healthy now and then, and in small quantities, why not? I won't put the nutrition info for you in the spirit of needing to give in now and then.Some of you may not believe…	1 vote 1760 views
	Smashed chickpea sandwiches by Beki PagesThis is based on a recipe from smitten kitchen, I found it one night when searching for more things to do with chick peas. I made it with what I had on hand, so it is different from hers. You can eat it on bread, in a pita, or as a side salad. It's good because it's filling and a nice change from tuna salad or lunch meat, but it…	1 vote 355 views
	Pistachio Cherry Teacakes by Beki PagesHello again! I got busy toward the end of last semester, and then went out of the country, but now that I have told more people about this blog, I have great motivation to update :)So to start, I am going to cheat a tiny bit in order to get back in the habit - a very good one from CL that you can find here. The picture is theirs,…	1 vote 389 views
	Aragorn Cookies by Beki PagesAragorn CookiesMakes about 2 dozen cookies1/4 cup butterscotch chips (if using raisins, consider chocolate chips) (and yes, that's enough for a healthier version to still get them in all the cookies)-Preheat oven to 350.-In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until it lightens in color, about 2-3 minutes. Add egg, yogurt and…	1 vote 225 views
	Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal by Beki PagesMmmmmmmmmmmm..... I am a big fan of pumpkin pie for breakfast. I love it! But I clearly can't have it for breakfast all the time. Solution? This oatmeal! Unbelievably good. I was a little skeptical when I saw one recipe (can't remember where, sorry!) but decided it was worth a shot. I've made it on the stovetop and in the…	1 vote 833 views
