Waffles

This is a simple waffle recipe that involves separating the eggs and beating the whites and folding them in last, so the waffles come out really soft and fluffy. Here, they are topped with whipped cream and fresh blueberries. And then maple syrup, of course!

Vanilla Creme Brulee and Ice Cream

Real vanilla beans are what really do the trick when making creme brulee and ice cream. The flavor is so much deeper and it's great to be able to see those little black seeds in each spoonful.

Because I also cook sometimes...

Here's my prep work for a chicken soup I made one Sunday night not too long ago. This recipe included all KINDS of vegetables. From left to right, there's brussels sprouts, pearl onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery, and cauliflower. Also some sage and butter for some additional flavor, and flour and milk to make it creamy. SO good!

Here is an asparagus mushroom risotto that I am particularly proud of because I merged two separate recipes together to make this from ingredients I had around my kitchen.
