Puffy bowl of berries is a new twist on cream puffs
Just thinking of plump cream puffs stuffed with sweet cream as light as air makes my mouth water. Mounds of dough rich with eggs and butter expand with air like little balloons as they bake in a hot oven. When they cool, they can be split in half, their hollow shells filled with whipped cream, custard or ice cream and then sandwiched back together, the filling seeping out of the seam.

No bake ... no sweat with cherry tarts
One of my favorite summer treats — requiring no more prep than a good rinsing — is to sit down with a big bowl of bright, plump cherries and simply enjoy them in their natural form.

Shortbread spoons are filled with love
My love affair with shortbread began seven years ago with my first bite of a homemade heart-shaped cookie that melted in my mouth. Rich, buttery dough had been packed into cast-iron heart-shaped molds and baked until they were set but not brown.

Doeden: Fresh salmon great in tacos
Avocado Cream Cabbage Slaw perfect side dishFor years, I’ve stayed far away from fish. I didn’t prepare it or serve it, and I would never even consider ordering it at a restaurant. I’m not fond of that “fishy” flavor that I thought all fish naturally carried. Yet lately, I’ve been making Salmon Tacos.

Flavor of honey-roasted pears brightened by balsamic vinegar
During my last trip to the Twin Cities, I had the opportunity to visit one of the new specialty stores that sells olive oils and balsamic vinegars.

Oh, my darlin' clementine
I caught a glimpse of myself in my rearview mirror the other morning and saw that I was laughing. It wasn’t brought on by something I heard on the radio. I was chuckling at my crazy self as I drove 10 miles to the grocery store in town.

Holiday Spinach Salad showcases colors of the season
Every year at this time, I would sit with my dad at the kitchen table. He’d pull out his pocket knife and score the thick ruby skin of the fruit. Then he’d use his fingers to pull the pomegranate apart, red juice squirting everywhere.

It's a snap to make these holiday cookies
In Denmark, they’re called Brune kager. In Finland, their name is Piparkakut, and in Norway, Pepperkaker or Brune kaker. When I’m with my Swedish friends, they are definitely Pepparkakor. But, if you’re not Scandinavian, (I’m not) just call these thin, crisp and lightly spiced cookies Christmas Ginger Snaps.

Layers of flavors: Why not try something new with layered vegetable dish?
It doesn’t seem so long ago when my adult sons were young boys. As if it were yesterday, I can see them sitting at the dinner table. And as clear as day, I can see the twisted look on their faces as they say, “Why can’t we have the same potatoes we had last week? Why do we always have to try something new?”

Mac and cheese: An old favorite gets a new twist
Every year at this time, I get such a craving for homemade macaroni and cheese. I pull out my old “Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book” that my mom and dad gave me when I was in high school. I turn to page 140, well worn with sticky spots and a little tear. That’s where my favorite macaroni and cheese recipe lurks.

Divine doughnuts make this grandma a hero
I carefully measured out all of the ingredients. I pulled out my big dough board. My deep, heavy cast-iron pan was filled with oil and I clipped a thermometer to the side. A baking sheet was lined with layers of paper toweling. I took a deep breath.

Hungary for goulash: Traditional dish warms the soul
There seems to be one Hungarian dish that most people know of: goulash. So, it’s not surprising that when people discover I am Hungarian, they assume I am an expert on Hungarian Gulyás.
