All one really needs to dress an avocado is a little bit of lemon juice. No need for oil, there’s enough of it in the avocado. If you’re in a real hurry, just remove the pit from one half of an avocado still in its skin, squeeze in some lemon juice, and eat it up with a spoon. But with this beautiful heirloom tomato just looking for an excuse to be eaten, it takes all of one minute more to slice and arrange both....
It has the crispy exterior from the breadcrumb mixture that the kids enjoy. The salty prosciutto appeals to my husband’s love of all things pork, and the creamy Gruyere center is the highlight for me. What Is Chicken Cordon Bleu?

Tired of coconut cupcake posers, I decided to develop a recipe that would rally in the flavor of coconut in a cupcake. This one uses coconut milk in place of milk and butter instead of oil, and has shredded coconut through and through giving it a divine taste that puts other coconut cupcakes to shame! In light of that, the cupcake itself is surprisingly light in texture compared to other coconut cupcakes....
To give the salmon (I use skin-on fillets) an extra oomph, I coat it with another family favorite, dukkah, an earthy and rich spice blend with nuts. It’s a unique way to both flavor the salmon and give it a slightly crunchy crust. I serve the salmon with a delicately spiced pearl couscous with lemons. It’s embellished with golden raisins, and a drizzle of a simple mint yogurt sauce brings the whole dish together beautifully....

The best way to serve these pumpkin waffles is drizzled with maple syrup and topped with a bit of whipped cream....
Enter this chamomile hot toddy. It’s a drink of whiskey, honey, and lemon mixed with chamomile tea to help you doze off in no time. How to Make a Hot Toddy Since the toddy is supposedly Irish in origin, purists insist that only Irish whiskey be used in the drink. However, as the recipe became popular outside Ireland, spreading throughout Europe and North America, so did its boozy variations. I say, use what you have in your liquor cabinet and most enjoy!...
Yet the flavor of a well-made link surpasses the sum of its parts, and a truly great sausage is fit to be served as a main course at a fancy dinner. Elements of Good Sausage Good sausage is all about balance. Balance of salt and savory, balance of meat and fat, balance of spices and herbs within the whole. Knowing a proper ratio of salt to meat (and fat) is essential, but once you understand it you can adjust to your own perception of saltiness, which varies wildly among people....
Let’s take a look at each one. 1. Keep Your Cutting Board From Slipping First, you want to make sure your cutting board isn’t going anywhere. We do not want the cutting board doing the tango while you’re chopping veggies—it will just create an unstable surface for chopping, which could potentially lead to accidents.

So when I first heard about Allie’s Banana Bread, a company that ships unique flavors of homemade banana bread across the country, I was immediately intrigued. I’ve heard of companies shipping cookies and cupcakes and even ice cream, but banana bread? Not so much. And let me tell you, when I finally tried it, it completely exceeded my expectations.
