Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
Super chocolaty cookie that has a nice pop of red and some chewy bits. Good for holiday gifts!
Cuban Goulash
I first had this served over egg noodles, but served with rice is just as nice. This recipe was introduced to me by a Cuban friend when I was seven years old. To this day, (twenty years later), it remains one of my favourites. Don't be frightened by this seemingly strange combination of ingredients; this is brilliant! The nice thing about this recipe is that it doesn't require any measurements. You use an equal amount of each ingredient, so it's infinitely scalable!
Creamy Tomato Bean Soup
This creamy tomato bean soup pairs nicely with warm, crusty bread or a light side salad. The cannellini beans provide a creamy texture and add protein to this soup for extra staying power.
