I love savory food for breakfast, especially when someone else cooks it. This morning my husband hit it out of the park with skillet-fried mashed potato pancakes. They were awesome—fluffy, crispy, and golden all over. Two bites in, I was already insisting he transcribe the recipe to share with you. Hungry yet?

Should you ever find yourself with an abundance of venison on your hands (via a generous hunter or a murderous rampage against the buck raiding your flower beds), consider whipping up a batch of Hirschgulasch. This recipe originates from an Austrian restaurant where I used to serve and bartend. I met many a character there, [...]

I won’t say too much about these bars, other than that they are delicious. You already know that soft, fluffy baked goods drizzled with cream cheese icing are my Kryptonite. The next time you have a couple of overripe bananas, you know what to do. Just don’t come knocking. You can double this recipe and bake [...]

“Did a bad, bad thing…” Every single time I think about these pumpkin bars, the chorus from that Chris Isaak song runs through my head. I’m not kidding. Don’t make these. You won’t be able to stop yourself. One minute you’re pulling them out of the oven, and the next thing you know, you’re left covered [...]

Years ago (more than I care to admit), I was an exchange student in Vienna, Austria. It was there I had my first kiss, my first martini, and my first taste of Liptauer. It’s hard to say which of these made the biggest impression on me. Needless to say, I spent many a balmy night [...]
