Fragrant and Healthy Carrot Cake
This carrot cake uses very little sugar and is very fragrant and sweet from molasses and dried figs that I use as a substitute for sugar. Citrus fruit and spices give it very fresh taste. It is a very moist and tasty cake.
Potato and Cheese Frittata
This potato and cheese frittata is great by itself or with some fruit on a Sunday morning.
Boulevardier Cocktail
If you like a Negroni and you like whiskey, too, give this one a try. It's a whiskey Negroni. Play with the ratios; I sometimes pull back on the sweet vermouth just slightly. This is also great served on the rocks.
