Cheezies….An Appetizer

Cheddar Cheese Crackers with Pimento
OK… I buy crackers….but, I saw this recipe from bon appetit…& just had to try them. There is a huge problem though…they are soooo delicious that it is hard not to eat all of them at one time! They were surprisingly easy to make. The dough has to chill for at least 4 hours or…

Smoked Salmon Spread
Well, this was delicious! Smoked salmon, cream cheese, mayo, horseradish, capers and parsley to garnish. It was all I could do but not eat the whole bowl at one time. Seriously!! In November I was in Toronto and had a smoked salmon sandwich on a bagel at the restaurant Schmaltz Appetizing, 414 Dupont St., and they had horseradish…
Brussels Sprout & Kale Slaw
Brussels Sprouts are not my favourite vegetable by any means. Sometimes if they are roasted & seasoned with maple syrup….haha….I can eat them! But I do like them raw in this salad. I posted this recipe last year…. The original recipe has the kale & brussels sprouts cut thinly, but I like a quick prep…
Quick Creamy Coleslaw
I just love a creamy coleslaw! I never used to actually but since I use this delish dressing now it has become my favorite! Quick Creamy Coleslaw! I like to make this salad at least an hour before we are going to eat it. The softens up the cabbage a bit. Also, this is really…

The recipe is pretty simple. Once the cookie dough is made it is rolled into logs & cooled in the fridge for a bit.…

Making Latkes with a Carrot in the Pan!
I saw.this hack on the internet somewhere and do not remember where! Wish I could give credit tot he person who posted this!
Putting a carrot in the frying pan while you are frying your lattes is genius! I did not really understand how it could help but it stops the oil from splattering and from burning! At least it did for me! Just discard the carrot when you are finished!

Beef Stew in the Instant Pot is great. Of course you can make this in a to on the stove or even in the oven if you do not have an Instant Pot. The recipe is delicious! I find that sometimes the beef chunks in beef stew are hard & too chewy…but not when the…
