Roses des Sables: March 3, 2010
Categories: Dessert, Season: Autumn, Snack
In addition to the crêpes, Ophélie taught us how to make this treat, known as Roses des Sables. She told me that they were made with chocolate and cornflakes, and I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical...

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies: February 24, 2010
Categories: Cookie, Dessert, Season: Anytime, Snack
Do you remember that old jingle, "Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don't"? I never understood that ad; I always feel like a nut. By that, I mean, of course, that I always feel like eating nuts. If...

Snow Scream: February 6, 2010
Categories: Dessert, Season: Winter, Snack
This has been such an amazing winter of snow storms in this area. I hope you're enjoying this latest round. I know it can be terribly inconvenient, but I have to admit that I love a good snowstorm as much...

Robin's Egg Meringues: January 27, 2010

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa: December 4, 2009
Categories: Appetizer, Condiment, Season: Anytime, Snack

I had planned to have a great post for you today, my version of this Washington Post recipe for dinner in a pumpkin. I've made it before, and it was a fantastic treat for Halloween, perfect for a cold night...

Chunky Apple Muffins: October 13, 2009
Categories: Breakfast, Farmers' Market Find, Season: Autumn, Snack
With fall in the air, I've been excited to bake again. Fall baking summons those warm spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, the perfect complements to apples and pumpkins. And with cooler temperatures, I'm happy to turn the oven on again....

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip After School Cookies: October 9, 2009
Categories: Dessert, Easy to Freeze, Party Food, Season: Anytime, Snack
The children have been back at school for more than a month now, and we are finally getting into a routine. It is all a bit bewildering for me those first few weeks, trying to get back in the rhythm...

Edamame Dip: August 6, 2009
Categories: Appetizer, Beans, Lunch Box, Party Food, Picnic Food, Season: Anytime, Snack
Our children love edamame. My theory is that any food that they can eat with their fingers is immediately enticing. And not only do we eat edamame with our hands, we also separate them from the pods, which requires squirting...
