Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache Frosting by Katherine

Mark Bittman always comes through and this recipe, which I've adapted from him, is no exception. The cupcakes are not too sweet (just the way I like them) and the chocolate ganache perfectly sets in the fridge. They are sure to put a smile on anyone's face.

Cheesy Hash Browns

Cheesy Hash Browns by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an amazing simple dish that stands up well to much more complicated potato au gratin recipes. I adapted it from a recipe in the Sacramento Bee by Ann Freeman.
