These little silver-dollar Swedish Pancakes will never be mistaken for your typical American flapjack. The outside is beautiful with just the right amount of crispiness, the inside, light and airy. Ethereal. Insanely good, it’s almost an insult to even call these pancakes!
Traditional Black Eyed Peas
Talk about good down-home plain cooking, I make black-eyed peas from time to time, and with New Year’s coming up (and a bag of peas I’ve been meaning to use up) now is the time~! Here’s my Traditional Black-Eyed Peas Recipe.

Molasses Spice Cookies
Molasses Spice Cookies. If any single food item can define a season, it has to be this mixture of molasses and spices that heralds in late fall to early winter. Warm, earthy, just a bit soft and chewy, these Molasses Spice Cookies are perfection. If I do say so myself! And I do! 🙂
The Best Molasses Spice Cookies – soft, chewy, crispy edges.
Slow Roasted Tomatoes
I have to tell you, I’ve been missing out all my life. See, I ate at Taphouse 41 in Sioux Falls with my Dad and had a taste of his salad. (My “nod” to this salad, my Taphouse Salad was just posted.) Well, Dad handed me over a bit of something and said: “Try this!” It was a little smidge of something red – some sweet salty intensely flavored deliciousness. What was it? Was it a roasted pepper? Not quite. I wasn’t even sure! I had to pull out the menu to see, and it was a Slow Roasted Tomato.

The Inner Sanctum Chocolate Cake
I remember nothing else about the day – but this I do remember: I came home and the November 1997 issue of Gourmet was in the mail. I leafed through, as I often do, looking at the photos before a more (hopefully) thorough reading later on. I was instantly captivated by this humble little five-ingredient cake. I made it that night, and many, many times since. Too many times to count. This is “our” cake.
Inner Sanctum Chocolate Cake – so ridiculously homely, so delicious!
