Sazerac
An oldie but a goody, Sazerac is one of the world's first cocktails, invented in New Orleans in the 19th century.
Spelt Flour Bread Machine Challah
I got a challah recipe from my husband and tweaked it to use spelt flour. This recipe makes a beautiful 2-pound braided challah. I like to divide the dough in 3; make two loaves and one little roll. I like to try different toppings each time I make this recipe, such as sesame seeds, dried onion flakes, granulated garlic, kosher salt, or flax seeds.
Spanish Tortilla
Great for breakfast or brunch. My version of this classic dish combines eggs with delicious potatoes, bacon, onion, and bell peppers in a very short time.
