When I was a little girl, my mother would always make us crepes on Sundays. I also loved the smell of vanilla when my mother would make her cookies. So, I would always ask her to make her cookies, and when she refused, I would take out the vanilla and sit it next to me with the cap open, so that I could breathe the aroma. My mother get a kick out of this, and said, well, if it's that important, we'll add a little vanilla kick, just for you. After the first time she put the vanilla in, there was never a last...it became a tradition.

Neeps and Tatties
When we went to Edinburgh for Hogmanay, our friends made this for us, along with a slice of haggis! This neeps and tatties recipe is a traditional Scottish side dish that goes well with beef roast or chicken. It is also a great way to use an often overlooked vegetable: the swede (aka yellow turnip, rutabaga, or Swedish turnip).
