My beloved Sausage Gravy has an unexpected depth of flavor from plenty of fresh rosemary and it is truly the best sausage gravy I have ever tasted. I’m not alone in that either, because everyone who has ever tasted it raves over it. I had the idea to pour the gravy over waffles a couple years ago, similar to Biscuits and Gravy. I served buttermilk waffles with sausage gravy a couple of times and really liked the combination....

I’ve actually made these three times now and my youngest son adores them! I give him the frozen kiwis on sticks (before they are dipped in chocolate) and he sits in his high chair and grins the entire time he eats them. I’ve made these with both bittersweet dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate. The kiwis are a bit more tart (especially if you accidentally freeze ones that aren’t quite ripe in your eagerness to try this recipe!...

Before I took the first bite, I knew that I would like these brownies, (the house smelled fantastic while they were baking) what I didn’t anticipate was the intense raspberry flavor that was in every bite. I more than liked these brownies, I absolutely loved them and I’m already looking for another excuse to make them again. I shared this batch of brownies with a friend’s family and the message she sent me later still has me laughing, “Son, age 9, mouthful of brownie & something chocolate-y in his fingers: “This brownie thing is…(gulp, thoughtful gaze at the ceiling)…it’s PERFECTION....

Are you a fan of lentils? In full disclosure, they’ve never been a favorite for me, but this stew did a terrific job of convincing me to try them again. Sean really likes lentils (and I rarely think to cook them), so when I saw this recipe in Megan Keno’s Cast Iron Gourmet cookbook, I knew it would be a hit with most of my family. I figured I could always grab something different if I didn’t care for it....

One day last summer, I wound up with a small amount of leftover coleslaw and a wee bit of cooked pasta in the fridge. As we tend to do with leftovers, I tossed them together and ate the pasta/coleslaw for lunch. It was GOOD. Live and learn, leftovers really can be amazing and this pasta salad is proof of that. I tweaked the coleslaw dressing a wee bit, wrote it all out, and made a plan to photograph the salad....

While German Pancakes look and taste like a fancy breakfast, they require less effort than traditional pancakes. Simply whisk the ingredients together, pour into a hot buttered pan, bake and serve.
