Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza, from America's Test KitchenI've never been to Chicago, so I cannot vouch for the authenticity of this Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza recipe, from America's Test Kitchen. This pizza crust is very thick, yet very tender on the inside. To make this pizza dough, I added some cornmeal. Once it has it's first rise, I rolled out the dough, spread a very thin layer of… |

Simple Stuffing MuffinsMy family loves stuffing. I usually freeze stale bread, to make my own stuffing mix. But this year, I decided to take a shortcut and I bought stuffing mix. I was inspired to bake stuffing in muffins tins, and that turned out to be a big hit! At the Thanksgiving table, it made serving the stuffing much easier. Plus, you can freeze… |

Fresh marjoram and spices, hot sauce and herbs, and a fantastic glaze makes this so good-- you really… |

Meyer Lemon Yogurt Bundt CakeI have made this recipe numerous times, as a loaf cake. I use Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, but any kind of yogurt will work well. The yogurt and oil (instead of butter) is the key to the moistness of the cake. While the cake is still warm, a simple syrup of lemon juice and sugar is poured on and the final touch is a simple lemon glaze.… |

Candied Sweet Potatoes/Yams (Pressure Cooker Friendly)This recipe is slightly adapted from “The Harvey House Cookbook” by George H. Foster and Peter C. Weiglin that we found this excellent recipe for sweet potatoes candied with confectioners’ sugar and butter. As the whole thing bakes, the sugar melts and caramelizes, becoming a brittle and crunchy shell covering the soft orange potatoes… |

Texas Roadhouse Rolls with Cinnamon-Honey ButterI live in California, but visited Texas last summer. My son took us to a Texas Roadhouse restaurant. My steak was good, but it was those hot rolls, slathered with the cinnamon butter that stood out the most. I searched around for a recipe, and settled on one that came from "Deliciously Yum". These are super easy to make… |

Easy Cranberry & Apple Cake (Ina Garten)This recipe comes from "The Barefoot Contessa". Ina Garten says that this recipe is inspired by a cranberry pie from Sarah Chase's book Cold Weather Cooking. Her friend Barbara Liberman calls it "easy cake"—I call it delicious. When cranberries are in season, serve it with vanilla ice cream and your friends will love you. I have to… |

Loaded Baked Potato SoupThis hearty soup has plenty of recipes to be found, I know. I used my friend, Mr. Pressure Cooker, to steam my Russet potatoes in 5 minutes. In the meantime, I cooked bacon, grated sharp cheddar cheese, and thinly sliced green onions-- which is exactly how we like to (occasionally) indulge in baked potatoes. I tweaked my recipe with… |

Applesauce Cake with Penuche FrostingApplesauce cake is one of my favorite cakes-- especially during fall season. That's when I can my supply of homemade apple sauce. This cake is ultra-moist with fall spices such as cinnamon, cloves and allspice. The penuche frosting goes perfectly with this cake, in my humble opinion. It's a cooked brown sugar frosting-- that has a… |

Cider-Glazed Boneless Pork Loin ChopsThis excellent recipe comes from America’s Test Kitchen (Cook’s Illustrated). Boneless pork chops can easily be overcooked and tough. But, using a technique of searing them and then “poaching” the chops in a sauce of apple cider vinegar, apple cider, brown sugar and a little soy sauce and Dijon mustard the chops come out moist and… |

German Potato Salad Heirloom RecipeMy Mutti was born and raised in Bavaria, and I grew up with this wonderful potato salad. She owned a Bavarian Delicatessen in my hometown of Monterey, CA for years. Every morning, she'd make a fresh batch of her famous potato salad, and it would sell out by noon. Unlike a Northern German version of Hot Potato salad, with lots of… |

"Creamless" Creamy Cauliflower SoupThis soup recipe comes from "Cook's Illustrated". When I first watched the video on how to make this, I was skeptical that a cauliflower soup that is made only with water would have much flavor. Well, it does! The cauliflower "croutons", cooked in browned butter with a kick of sherry vinegar adds just the right amount of acidity and… |

Spaghetti PieI've been making this recipe for many years. This is an easy "lasagna" type pie with a super easy pasta sauce, made from scratch. The prep time is minimal, and while the casserole is baking, you can clean up the kitchen and then relax and enjoy. Leftovers reheat very well. Recipe adapted from "McCall's Magazine" circa the 1980's. |
