This gluten-free, soy-free, New York cheesecake is made with goat cheese instead of cream cheese. At a recent party, my husband mentioned he had not had cheesecake for 20 years because of his allergies, so I developed this recipe. It's so decadent and creamy — I've served it several times and nobody has noticed the substitution!

These are a traditional Scottish cookie-very spicy and not too sweet. They are a treat for the grown-ups, too. Wonderful with a nice mug of tea. Yum!
Yaki Mandu (Korean Dumplings)
Mandu are Korean dumplings that can be steamed or fried. Yaki means fried. These dumplings have a beef, cabbage, and garlic filling and are served with a dipping sauce. They're great for parties. There's a lot of prep in making these, but as quick as you can fry them they'll be gone!
Meringue Kisses II
Decorate with finely crushed nut brittle or other crushed candy. I have used crushed mints with success. You can use whatever flavoring extract you choose: almond, vanilla, lemon, etc.
