Smoked Salmon Cheeseball

It's the last day of 2013! What are your plans to end this year on a delicious note? For The Baron and I, we're going the comfy route by ringing in the new year having ourselves a Godfather movie marathon over an Italian dinner. I hosted a 'Prime Rib Throwndown' dinner last night with friends {tasty recipes from that to come!} so because we had such a big feast then, we're keeping it much more low key tonight. What will you be feasting on for New Year's Eve? In previously years, I've done some fancier meals and if that's more your style, perhaps this Smoked Salmon Cheeseball will be a good addition to your menu. Savory smoked salmon is flaked and comb

Proton Bank: πώς στήθηκε το «κόλπο γκρόσο»

 Proton Bank: πώς στήθηκε το «κόλπο γκρόσο» Της Κατερίνας Κατή Μετά τις άκαρπες προσπάθειές του να νοσηλευθεί -φρουρούμενος έστω- σε κάποιο από τα νοσοκομεία στα οποία διακομίστηκε το τελευταίο τριήμερο, ο Λαυρέντης Λαυρεντιάδης, που την περασμένη Παρασκευή απολογήθηκε και κρίθηκε προσωρινά κρατούμενος, μεταφέρθηκε τελικά χθες στις φυλακές Κορυδαλλού όπου και θα «φιλοξενηθεί» στη ΣΤ πτέρυγα, όπως και όλοι σχεδόν οι «επώνυμοι» κατηγορούμενοι του «λευκού κολάρου».

CHOCOLATE BÛCHE DE NOËL

A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE“What?!” my son exclaimed, his voice dripping with disbelief and just a hint of sarcasm. “Christmas? We’re celebrating Christmas? I don’t remember you guys doing anything for Christmas since we were kids and then only once or twice because Grandmère and Grandpère were visiting!” Well, he forgets last year, but this is pretty much true. Yet once in a while my husband feels not so much the pang of nostalgia as the occasional urgent need to reassert himself in a household of Jews. Even before the eighth Hanukkah candle was lit, before the last Hanukkah presents were purchased and exchanged, my husband began talking about Christmas.Cal

Salted Caramel Marshmallows

Marshmallows usually find their way into my kitchen if they're being used in recipes like s'mores inspired desserts or rice krispie treats. But this time, marshmallows were made from scratch in my kitchen. I can't believe it took me this long to make them! I'm a big fan of salted caramel and when I came across this recipe for Salted Caramel Marshmallows, I didn't hesitate getting started.

Spinach Ranch Dip

The veggie tray. You know that's the easy route to provide a fresh and healthy appetizer option at parties and gatherings... but how popular is it really? Well at my house, the veggie tray is pretty popular, considering Joel loves to snack on colorful veggies. When The Baron requested to have a cold spinach dip on my appetizer menu for Thanksgiving, I couldn't say no. His mom, Marnie, makes a really good spinach dip so I didn't want to compete with her recipe. That's when I came across this Spinach Ranch Dip that offered a little twist to the traditional. The secret is all in the ranch dressing seasoning packet and it made all the difference for that

Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine

Short ribs are one of my favorite cuts of beef for so many reasons. The succulent flavor, the ability to cook them in a slow cooker, the way they just fall off the bone from hours of braising all make me love them even more. This time, I made these Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine. They came out delicious and flavorful and even the leftovers are great the next day. English style short ribs are slow braised in red wine and classic aromatics, fresh herbs and chicken broth for hours. This may take a few hours to make but trust me, it's worth it...Normally for a recipe like this, I would use my slow cooker/crockpot. But considering I had some time on the we

TRADITIONAL APPLE KUCHEN

A HOLIDAY BREAD BAKING BUDDY  Wishing all of my friends a Merry, Joyous, Peaceful Holiday Season. Thank you for the greatest gifts of all - your friendship, kindness, generosity, encouragement and support. And the smiles and laughter. These are indeed the best gifts I could possibly receive. Long ago during my college years, I joined my aunt and uncle for the holidays at their forest green house on Long Island. My grandmother and two older cousins were there as well. The day after grandma joined us, she let us know that she planned on baking – not usually her strong point. I, for one, was just a little surprised but waited expectantly to see
