Lebkuchen are traditional German Christmas cookies full of festive spices, candied mixed fruit, and nuts. They are finished with a simple sweet lemon glaze. You can coat them with melted chocolate if you prefer.
Homemade Tom Yum Soup
Tom yum soup is easier to make at home than most hot and sour soup recipes you will find. I have simplified a sometimes complex recipe for those like me who have a hard time finding some of the original ingredients. This tastes better than any tom yum in the many restaurants I have been to!
