Valerie's Asian Coleslaw

This coleslaw recipes came to me from a friend who enjoys to cook as much as me. She has shared several wonderful recipes that our family enjoys, and I want to pass them on to you!

Lemon Cranberry Muffins

Spring is here! We sure have had some strange weather here in Northern California. A very dry, warm winter and the spring has brought rain showers and colder weather but very unpredictable. 

Nutella Cookies and other Holiday Favorites

This recipe caught my eye because of two ingredients...Nutella and hazelnuts. Growing up in Germany, Nutella was a staple. We had it for breakfast, for lunch and sometimes even for dinner. That's how good it was.

How to Blanch, Roast and Peel Hazelnuts

One of my favorite types of nuts are hazelnuts, but a lot of recipes call for peeled hazelnuts. Such hard work! I found a way that is very simple and the skins are literally falling off after you are done. 

Baked Oatmeal

We have had a windy couple of days here in the Sacramento area. So beautiful to look at from the comfort of your own home with a bowl full of delicious baked oatmeal to keep you warm, but once you step outside you just want to try and cover up every inch of your body because it is SO cold.
