CELERY SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE WALNUTS AND DATES
We've reached that point in the winter where I'm just about to my limit with kale salads. I had to go in a completely different direction, but still wanted a distinct crunch. The answer was obvious and not-so-obvious at the same time: celery. I've made a celery salad before with honeycrisp apple, and while delicious,…

2018 MOST ANTICIPATED READS (January – June)
Looking into 2018, I'm planning on the same reading goal I had last year: 52. One book for each week of the year. 2017 was a year I escaped into books and if my most anticipated list is any indication, 2018 will be pretty much the same.  Romance and thrillers are dominating the list at…

Inspired by Acacia Santos, the heroine in Sylvain Reynard's new romantic suspense novel, The Man in the Black Suit, I made pão de queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread. Authentically made with sour cassava flour, the best I could do on short notice was tapioca flour from Bob's Red Mill, and still the result is pretty…

SMITTEN KITCHEN PRETZEL LINZERS WITH SALTED CARAMEL
You may have breezed past these Pretzel Linzers with Salted Caramel when you picked up Deb Perelman's latest, Smitten Kitchen EveryDay. When I did my first look at the book, they caught my eye, but weren't the first thing I made.  The linzers are tucked in the back with desserts, right next to a bakery style…
