A childhood food memory is Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini. It was one of the few casseroles, with celery, and mushrooms, that I liked. I just recreated it, from scratch, with a crunchy panko-Parmesan topping. It’s in the oven now! Leftover celery and turke… ift.tt/2R8db44

Do you know what boiled apple cider syrup is? I’ve been buying this ingredient for years, online. It adds pizzaz to apple pie 🥧 and pan sauces to name a few. Today, I’m experimenting making my own. I have a chop stick that I’m marking to see how long… ift.tt/2CTJ3B7

NEW RECIPE ON THE BLOG: Apple pie is an all American iconic favorite. This French Apple-Custard Pie kicks it up a few notches by adding a creamy vanilla custard to sautéed apples, then topping it with a crunchy almond streusel. This makes an elegant des… ift.tt/2oMmET4

On our flight to Minnesota, I was given a package of Biscoff cookies. It's been a while since I've had them, and they are addictive! It reminded me that I have a recipe for Biscoff & Pumpkin Spice Spritz cookies on my blog. These deserve a fall encore. #… ift.tt/2JoYJA8

My friend and I ordered some pumpkin pancakes when we were out to breakfast. They were so good! I realized I have a similar recipe on my blog, so it's time to recreate them at home. These are made with a combination of white and whole wheat flour and hav… ift.tt/2PngpA2

This Austrian/Bavarian Beef Goulash is one of my signature recipes. Chuck Eye Roast (way more tender than chuck roast) is browned and caramelized, lots of onion, paprika in a tomato and beef sauce. Don’t forget the caraway! This will slow simmer for a c… ift.tt/2M84F2h

Bavarian red cabbage is one of my favorite comfort foods. I make it, each year, for my annual Oktoberfest that I host for my family. My Mutti taught me how to make it but I’ve tweaked it to the way I like it— a little tart, a little sweet from apples… ift.tt/2IJI363

For you apple pie lovers-- I highly recommend you make this Apple Brown Butter Tart. A buttery, flaky crust, a layer of brown butter and vanilla bean filling, and sauteed apples in more butter and brandy. Woo-wee! You will love it! Click on my link in pr… ift.tt/3156QJ3

This three-berry fruit pie with a French Pastry Pie Crust is one of my favorites. The crust is super tender, and the pie filling is bursting with summer flavors of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries (though, I used Olallieberries, since they gro… ift.tt/315UsZ7

I don’t claim a recipe to be “The Best” unless I feel 100% confident that I’m telling the truth. This Banana Cream Pie with a Nilla Wafer crust was creamy, rich and loaded with banana cream not made with artificial banana extract. I might have gone back … ift.tt/2N2xiPY

Italian Prunes are just starting to show up at the grocery store. They are perfect for baking. I’ve made a plum coffee cake with a layer of cream cheese filling. The cake is topped with an almond streusel. The cake is tender, and the cream cheese filling… ift.tt/2Ll7JXh

NEW RECIPE POST ON THE BLOG: Instant Pot Marmalade Bread Pudding. I challenged myself to see if I could recreate a bread pudding dessert that I fell in-love with at a local restaurant. Did I do it? Yes! I even made a Créme Anglaise (vanilla bean sauce) … ift.tt/2K8KOxx

I could not believe my fortune when I spotted a huge fruit tree with overhanging branches that hung over the walking path, while walking my dog. On close inspection, I discovered they were Italian Prunes. They were ripe (like a month early). Score! I’m m… ift.tt/32YN9UG
