Duck à l'Orange
Duck à l'orange is one of those classic dishes that somehow became a cliché, and people stopped making it for fear of looking un-cool, which is too bad, since it's really good. This is traditionally done with a whole roasted duck, but by using duck breasts we get pretty much the same results in a lot less time.
Fresh Strawberry Cookies
I came up with this recipe for strawberry cookies when we were given a lot of fresh strawberries and I had to figure out what to do with them! I hope everyone likes these cookies as much as my kids did.
