Sofrito is the base for most Puerto Rican dishes, and this one is better than store-bought (it's difficult to find in the stores in the western United States). Sofrito can be added to beans, rice, soups, and stews; you name it.

Butternut Squash and Cranberry Muffins
I got some butternut squash and cranberries (both I am not fond of) in my Bountiful Basket last week. Not having a clue what to do with them, I came up with this surprisingly yummy muffin. I made up this butternut squash and cranberry muffins recipe with what I had on hand. It is really very light, tasty, and not too sweet. I serve mine with honey or sweetened cream cheese. If possible, always choose organic.
Vegan Mushroom Gravy
This quick-and-easy vegan mushroom gravy is rich, thick, and creamy but made without using any dairy! Simply delicious with mashed potatoes.
Macarons (French Macaroons)
Macarons are made with finely ground almonds, confectioners' sugar, and egg whites. They are the most delicious soft cookies with crispy edges. I finally perfected the technique and wanted to share it. Pipe your choice of filling or frosting on a cookie and sandwich another cookie on top.
