Mac and cheese: An old favorite gets a new twist
Every year at this time, I get such a craving for homemade macaroni and cheese. I pull out my old “Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book” that my mom and dad gave me when I was in high school. I turn to page 140, well worn with sticky spots and a little tear. That’s where my favorite macaroni and cheese recipe lurks.

Hungary for goulash: Traditional dish warms the soul

Divine doughnuts make this grandma a hero
I carefully measured out all of the ingredients. I pulled out my big dough board. My deep, heavy cast-iron pan was filled with oil and I clipped a thermometer to the side. A baking sheet was lined with layers of paper toweling. I took a deep breath.

It was the sign outside the Ukrainian Cultural Institute in Dickinson, N.D., that caught my eye: “Cheese Buttons and Borshch Soup Sold Here.” My foot went directly to the brake pedal.

In perfect harmony: Moist bread satisfies chocolate craving
I’m always in the mood for chocolate, but every once in a while I get an overwhelming desire for chocolate with a hit of cinnamon. Not too much, mind you, but just enough to give a whisper of sweet, warm and woody fragrance.

Hooked on eggplant: Rollups hit the spot
When I was a child, I don’t ever remember having eggplant. When I was in high school, though, I had an Italian friend whose mother seemed to fry eggplant every other day. Their house always smelled delicious. I can’t say that turned me into an eggplant enthusiast, but I did eat one or two of those thick slices of chewy Italian bread with a slice of fried eggplant and homemade tomato sauce slapped onto it that my friend’s mom would make for us as an on-the-go snack.

Snip those herbs and savor the flavor

Bread pudding or crisp? No need to choose with this dessert
The same week I discovered local blueberries were ready for picking, I scored a box of Colorado peaches. Fresh, plump blueberries and my favorite peaches in my kitchen at the same time is about as good as it gets.

There’s nothing that shouts summer louder than the sight of just-picked sweet corn piled high in the back of a pickup parked along the side of a country road.
