Millet Breakfast Porridge with Fruit
This nutritious, creamy, hot breakfast is naturally sweet and super easy to make. It just takes a little baking time. It's fabulous both fresh and warmed up later with a little milk. My kids and I gobble it down every time.

This is a typical French homemade cake — dense, dark, and delicious. It is a European sponge cake, with a different texture than its American counterparts. It is excellent when dusted with confectioners' sugar and served with lightly sweetened whipped cream or a fruit coulis.

With this recipe, baby back ribs are smoked to perfection, and you'll learn how long it takes to smoke ribs at 250 degrees.
