A lot of European cookie recipes use vanilla sugar in place of vanilla extract. My mother would make a large canister in August in preparation for her cookie baking season (between Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas holidays).
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 whole vanilla bean
Instructions

1
Pour the sugar into an airtight container. If the vanilla bean is whole, slice it halfway through the long way, open up the bean, and use a spoon or kitchen knife to scrape out the black gooey specks. Stir the specks into the sugar, and bury the bean pod in the sugar. Cover the jar and let stand for at least 1 week.

Gene's Long Island Iced Tea
Be careful with this one. For the un-initiated, this drink tastes great and will creep up on you before you know it.
Homemade Sushi
Sushi rolls can be filled with any ingredients you choose. Try smoked salmon instead of imitation crabmeat. Serve with teriyaki sauce and wasabi.
Dutch Oven White Chicken Chili
This chili is the ultimate winter comfort food recipe. I saw a recipe similar to this on Good Morning America. I love using my Fontignac enamel Dutch oven and don't see enough recipes that call for its use on here. I switched a few things up. The original recipe can be found on GMA's website. Serve with Monterey Jack cheese and crushed tortilla chips or cornbread.
