You don’t usually see me excited about a salad. Don’t get me wrong, I eat salad all the time, but as a side dish. And it’s not like I’ll go to a restaurant and be like: “I’ll have the salad because I’ve been craving it all week!”. But then the Lyonnaise Salad came into my life and all my pre conceptions were shattered! I guess it helps that there is a lot of bacon involved....

Mushroom risotto tastes decadently creamy with nutty notes from Parmesan, a floral hint of saffron, and the salty bacon and earthy mushrooms round out the umami factor. In other words, it tastes amazing. Homemade Risotto is Easier Than You Think I spent years avoiding cooking risotto because it has a reputation for being difficult. Risotto has even been called the death dish on the popular cooking competition Masterchef, because it is (allegedly) so hard to get right....

I first baked this coffee cake a few weeks ago, when two good friends and their young children visited us in Milwaukee. I served big slices for breakfast, with a quiet aside to Mom that it happened to be a healthy coffee cake made with whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt (no need to mention this to the kiddos, of course). After devouring their slices, both kids went in for another, and the youngest did what I suspect many of us have wanted to do when facing a slice of coffee cake: he ate all of the streusel right off the top in two great, big forkfuls....

Whenever I don’t bring my lunch to work, 8 times out of 10 I would pick up a box of roasted vegetables with a large turkey meatball from the local store’s lunch bar.

There you can find the usual roasted carrots, green beans, red onions, and potatoes. Occasionally they have sweet potatoes, zucchini and asparagus, but that’s about it....
