Coleslaw is a mainstay of American cuisine. Many times people ask me what constitutes American food. Is it just burgers and fries, the stuff you get at McDonald’s?

Mocha Chocolate Chip cookies – Dark and Sinful
Baking requires precision. That’s what everyone says. I have baked a lot of cakes over the years, but have never tried my hand at cookies. There are so many types of cookies. Crunchy, Crisp, chewy, gooey and so on. I like all these types, but I don’t think I will be able to tell what…

Broccoli and Rice Casserole Recipe (Meatless Monday)
Broccoli and Rice Casserole spells winter for me. It is such a comforting dish, and also nostalgic. This was a staple on my office cafeteria menu in the Midwest, and was just the right thing for cold windy days. The word ‘casserole’ is a tough one, because there is no specific meaning to it. In…
