Yazdi Cakes
This Yazdi cake recipe was passed to me by my great-grandmother. They're light, and not too sweet. The cardamom and rosewater give it distinctive Persian-inspired flavors. They're best served with hot tea or coffee.

These beans are briefly boiled and tossed with cherry tomatoes in a buttery basil sauce to make the most yummy green beans ever! We serve these at Easter Dinner every year but are a delicious accent to any meal.

This tortellini pasta salad recipe with tomatoes and peas is one of my standard dishes for potlucks or parties. It's vegetarian and so good! Don't skimp on the dressing, as the tortellini soaks up a lot of it. I estimated the vinaigrette amounts, so you can simply taste for yourself.
