Almond Clusters

I may one day blog about my past as a Xmas Grump. Each year, the one thing that could change my spirit was end of term food sharing which tended to involve sweets. With a multi-cultural group, some amazing treats appeared and I used to beg for recipes. These almond clusters appeared more than once and with different cultural roots - Portuguese, Russian, Polish... I have no idea about their origin, but they are fab and a now a KB holiday staple!

Sweet and Tangy Lemon Cookies

I have always wanted a good lemon cookie recipe and have long been motivated to find one as a treat for my BF who is crazy for lemon. (She loved these! She "hid" them in the freezer and declares they actually taste great right out of the freezer - haha!) I used a recipe from Merry About Town - a blogger I met recently at the Food Bloggers of Canada Conference, but modified the glaze.

Potato Leek Soup

Am not sure who decides these things in the media, but just lately I keep bumping into articles stressing how great leeks are for our health - so I dusted off this Julia Child recipe. Much of the creaminess of this soup comes from the potatoes - though it can be enhanced with cream.

This is easy, fast, tasty and nutritious! Make it a winter staple!

Apple Clusters

I don't have an "apple family classic" to add to this "legacy collection" so I was attracted to something new.  What could be healthier than "apple pie" without the pastry?

Here is a terrific and easy recipe from a talented fellow blogger I met in Montreal. Try this! You'll like it!
