This recipe has you brine raw Cashews in a solution of Tamari and fresh ginger, and then cook -- well, actually you are dehydrating -- them in a slow oven.
Spiced Cocoa Coffee Beans
This recipe is based on the traditional chocolate covered espresso bean (Cocoa coffee beans). Here, I have added a spicy coating to bump up the flavor.
Snow White's Apple
My mother always made candied apples for Halloween. She made a huge batch for the neighborhood kids every year. She added red food coloring to make them bright red. I decided that the apples were gorgeous as nature intended so I left that ingredient out. This is so simple it is hardly a recipe...but it is a solid tradition. (the candy thermometer was my mother's at least 40 years ago). I used winesap apples, a US heirloom variety. The trees on our property are over 100 years old. - dymnyno
Grilled Peaches
Yes, this recipe is simple. And yes, it's delicious because it's simple. Grilled peaches are an absolute delight come summer each year.
Popcorn Popped in Bacon Fat (or "Bacon Grease")

Crack Wings
I came up with this Crack Wings recipe on a whim. We call them Crack Wings because of their ridiculously addictive nature. They are perfect for parties!
Mel's Red Hot Baked Wings
My mom has made these wings for years, but instead of wings, she uses bites of chicken, and serves in a bowl with a fork, swimming in juicy wing sauce. The sauce for these is fairly basic, but the technique is what sets them apart. Baked (not fried) these wings are seriously tender and good. The Franks hot sauce, melted butter, and brown sugar coating caramelizes on the wings, making them gooey, sweet, spicy, and chewy. Almost like chicken candy…is that weird?
Soft Mascarpone Scrambled Eggs

Lotus Cocktail
One of my favorite summertime drink creations is this Lotus Cocktail recipe. It's light, clean and refreshing. Pairs equally well with sushi & anything grilled.
Tomato Sandwich
It's early here for tomatoes--- we haven't yet gotten them in our CSA box-- but fortunately there's a small farmer near us who has just started selling his tomatoes--and they are wonderful. Tomato season is so short here in the Northeast, and the tomatoes are so amazing, that all I want to do is salt them and eat them. Or have them in a sandwich. Which I do--frequently. A tomato sandwich is really best when the tomatoes are fresh picked and still warm from the garden. Slice them thickly, use the best bread you can find, and enjoy. Summer is short in these parts---this is pure pleasure.
