I love this sugar cookie recipe that I made healthier by exchanging some butter with non-fat plain yogurt. They still taste great and I feel a lot better about eating so many!

- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 cups butter , softened
- 0.25 cups nonfat plain yogurt

- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Beat butter, yogurt, and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add egg allowing it to blend into butter mixture. Beat in vanilla extract. Mix in flour mixture until just incorporated. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Sweet Kugel
Kugel, a traditional Jewish noodle custard dish, is a mainstay of Jewish holiday meals. Defined as a baked pudding or casserole (usually from noodles or potatoes) this one is my own version of kugel, which is adapted from a few recipes to make one that we really love. This is a rich and sweet kugel although they also come in a savory version.
Easy Cream Cheese Frosting
This is a simple recipe for delicious cream cheese frosting. It has less powdered sugar than most recipes. That's one reason it tastes so good.
Beef Stroganoff with White Wine
Based on a dish I had a pub in Scotland, this beef stroganoff is best served with rice instead of noodles. The sauce is not very thick, so it coats the rice nicely.
