Oma Kiener's Hazelnut Christmas Cookies
An ice box cookie, these were one of the two Christmas cookie recipes my German grandmother made every year until her death at age 92. While they may not be fancy like other Christmas cookies recipes, they are easy to make and taste very nutty. They make me think of Christmas and my grandmother every time I enjoy one.
Colorful Four Bean Salad
This is a very tasty and easy bean salad made with four kinds of beans, red onion, and celery in a vinegar dressing. My friend next door gave it to me years ago.
Detroit-Style Pizza
Try this Detroit-style pizza recipe the next time you want a crunchy, crispy, cheese-laden slice! Detroit-style pizza is often referred to as a deep-dish pizza, but I don't think that accurately captures the essence of this crispy, crusty, crazy-good pizza. It has the flavor elements of a slightly charred thin-crust pizza and the texture of a light and airy focaccia. If you use a properly shaped pan, the edges of your crust get wonderfully crunchy, making for a truly unique experience.
