I just realized that we don’t have the family pancake recipe on here. I sometimes need to check it or give it to other people, so I’m going to upload it verbatim how Mom sent it to me back when I was living in the dorms. I prefer to add baking soda and acid as […]

Black Bean Frittata
This is not a real recipe per se – just sort of a meal idea, and you can add and subtract as you like. I bet it’d be really good with a bit of meat (chorizo), and I didn’t have any cheese on hand, which would definitely make it better. Note also that you need […]
Ful Medames – Fava Bean Dip

A friend of ours, Debbie Lipp provided this recipe from her friend Susan. Whoever Susan is, she makes a good scone! 1 […]
Pannekoeken
