And you don’t have to make a huge stack of slices to be satisfied. One big stuffed slice per person is plenty....
It takes a minimum of a month to make homemade extract, so get started now if you want to have this ready for gifting and baking! How to Make DIY Vanilla Extract Vanilla extract is made by steeping vanilla beans in vodka, bourbon, or even brandy. The longer you let the beans infuse, or the more beans you use, the stronger your extract. The recipe below will make a basic extract that can be used in any baking recipe....
I would sneak them anyway, and because it never occurred to me that the box wasn’t bottomless, my father would, of course, find out. I was grounded and punished with hard labor (scrubbing the toilet and weeding the yard), but it was totally worth it. Now, as a parent myself, I make this homemade version and happily share these cookies with my kiddos. I changed the flavor from lemon to lime in my cookie version but maintained the same buttery warmth the contraband of my childhood had....
In this Pasta Pomodoro with Shrimp we are using both, and tossing them with quickly cooked fresh tomatoes (that’s the “pomodoro” part), garlic, and basil. You could use canned tomatoes, but if tomatoes are in season, and they are ripe and juicy, you can use them with hardly any extra time. September is peak tomato season here in Sacramento, even more than August. Our tomatoes are all ripening at once, catching the last rays of sunshine before we slip into fall....
Well, my tall, dark, handsome guy doesn’t have a horse or a castle; he’s French and he loves to cook. (Now that’s a prince!) One of his favorite ways to cook new potatoes is to roast them with onions, tomatoes, garlic, olives, and olive oil, and seasoned with Herbes de Provence. This is his most requested recipe at any gathering or event, it’s that good! The little potatoes are like savory potato candies, with caramelized bits of onions and tomatoes....
It’s the law. Certain migratory birds can be hunted in season, but not sold. We were the lucky recipients of some teal ducks recently from our hunting friends Hank and Holly. I had never eaten, let alone cooked wild duck, and let me tell you, it is an entirely different experience than working with ducks from the grocery store. What follows is a loose recipe and several notes on cooking wild duck, for my own benefit so I remember the next time, as well as for anyone else out there who may have the opportunity to cook wild duck....

The dough is rolled into a rectangle and spread with a homemade chocolate filling before being rolled up and twisted into a braid. The babka bakes into a sweet, fluffy, chocolatey loaf that makes for a decadent breakfast or dessert. Babka looks impressive, and it certainly is. Luckily, your stand mixer does most of the hard work, but you get to take all the credit. While it is an admittedly long process, a lot of the time is spent simply waiting for the dough to rise....
Babka is a traditional Jewish bread from Eastern Europe. It was originally a clever way to use up extra dough by layering it with sweet fillings like cinnamon or jam when making challah, a braided enriched bread. While it’s long been a staple of Jewish delis and bakeries in New York City, babka has exploded in popularity in the last several years thanks to a new style created at Breads Bakery, a popular bakery chain....
I’ve long been making a version of these pretty cookies, especially around the holidays. It was inspired by a dark, sticky gingerbread cake with warm lemon icing—something my mother makes for Christmas. This dessert combines ginger and lemon. The gingerbread cookies contain fresh ginger and molasses and have a soft, chewy texture. The buttery filling is bright and lemony with fresh lemon zest and juice. Tips for Making Tidy Sandwich Cookies The key to a professional-looking sandwich cookie is consistency....

I got this recipe as well as a delicious clam chowder recipe from a cooking class from the executive chef at Market Street Grill in SLC....
