By Joy Summers From Star Tribune Minneapolis—When the sky blooms from lavender to pink, and the sun chases away the last vestiges of cold, that’s when Sarah Kieffer finds her inspiration. “There is a calm and stillness, both outside and in, that can be found in the early hours,” she said. “Baking in the morning,…

German Pancakes
View the print-ready version of this recipe. German Pancakes was one of my favorite breakfasts growing up, and I’ve loved watching it become one of my kids’ favorite breakfasts now. They love how the german pancakes puff up in the pan while they cook in the oven. Top them with powdered sugar and syrup and…
The New York Restaurant Where Grandmas Run the Kitchen
At Enoteca Maria, grandmas rule the kitchen. Hailing from all over the globe—Argentina, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Taiwan—they come to cook at this tiny restaurant on Staten Island, New York—a stone’s throw away from the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. They’re known as the “nonnas of the world”—“nonna” is Italian for “grandmother”—a rotating cast of…
Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe
Around here, we’re really into fresh berries all summer long. Straight from the farmer’s market or in the form of pie, you just can’t go wrong. We’re all about the buttery flaky crust (no shortening here,) which hugs all the very best pies. From the Best Fall Apple Pie to this luscious Summer Blueberry Pie… it’s gotta have…
Anatomy of a Classic Cocktail: The Margarita
I remember my first margarita outside the United States: Playa del Carmen, Mexico, in 1993 while awaiting a ferry to Cozumel. It was a two-for-one deal, so I ordered two—one for me and one for my travel buddy, Dave. And, probably predictably, we ended up with four drinks. Small drinks, I thought, chilled but with…
Meal Prepping for Success
Graduating from the Institute of Culinary Education and working in kitchens from California to New York City couldn’t prepare Catherine McCord for her toughest palate yet: her first child’s. The founder of Weelicious, a food blog full of easy, family-friendly recipes, was just as clueless as most parents when it came to figuring out what…
Celebrate the Unofficial Start of Summer With Salmon Burgers
With Memorial Day coming up, I often like to entertain and have an outdoor barbecue to officially welcome the summer season. This year, I want to serve Mexican-style barbecued salmon burgers—always a crowd-pleaser. I noticed a version of these on Dara Michalski’s blog. My salmon burgers with a guacamole sauce version use less ingredients, but I imagine they…
Maple-Cinnamon Waffle French Toast
Nine out of ten days I’ve got milk, bread, and eggs in my kitchen, and lucky for me, this recipe, which combines two breakfast favorites, is one of my kids’ most requested. Their idea of the perfect breakfast is two pieces of this waffle French toast, a handful of fresh strawberries, and maple syrup or…
Scallion Cream Cheese Scones Are a Fun Twist on the Classic Bagel Combo
When you picture a scone, you probably think of a sweet wedge studded with chocolate chips or fruit. But have you ever had a savory scone? Speckled with sliced scallions, this tender cream cheese scone has a sharp, somewhat peppery allium bite that’s perfect at tea time. You can even split one, stuff it with…
Blistered Cherry Tomato and Gooey Mozzarella Spaghetti
This is just about the easiest tomato sauce you’ll ever make, and when made with ripe summer tomatoes, the flavor is hard to beat. I love using cherry tomatoes because they require no extra chopping, but you can make this sauce with any tomatoes you have on hand; just slice them into bite-size pieces first….
