Butter-and-Goat Cheese Potato Purée
This recipe is a happy amalgamation of Sonali aka the Foodie Physician's Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese and Joël Robuchon’s famous Potato Purée. I suggest using the best quality butter, goat cheese, and milk you can find, because let's face it -- this is sort of a dairy recipe with some potatoes in it, rather than the other way around. It really is thoroughly delicious.
Sugar Crusted Sweet Potatoes
My mom makes these sugar-crusted sweet potatoes every year for Thanksgiving. She makes sure to make more than enough for everyone to have a couple servings that night and a couple servings for leftovers the day after. They're sugary sweet on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside.

Pasta with Mizithra and Garlic
I had this pasta for the first time at a wonderful Greek restaurant in Seattle. The owner told us how to make it, and I follow his instructions to the letter. It's totally unlike any other pasta I've ever had--the strands are coated with golden shards of mizithra cheese and garlic, giving the pasta a deep nutty flavor and an almost prickly texture. The secret here is the mizithra, an aged Greek cheese that doesn't melt when heated, and will brown and caramelize if you cook it in a hot pan. The whole dish comes together in minutes, and it actually tastes better at room temperature than it does warm.
Parsley Miso Pesto
I had a bunch of parsley but no nuts or Parmesan for my pesto recipe. What I did have was a tub of white miso which replaced both the nuts and cheese in pesto.
Kettle Corn
You can make this Kettle Corn recipe all for yourself. You can pile it high in a big bowl and nestle it in your lap and drink a beer with it and be happy.
Apple Chips
I borrowed the technique for these from Rivka, whose Cocoa Pear Crisps, were an early recipe contest winner. You don't need to add anything to the apples, but I often sprinkle half of them with a little cinnamon to keep things lively. Feel free to experiment with different spices like ginger, allspice, or even cardamom.
Individual, bite sized chocolate pecan "pies"

Lingonberry-Poached Pears
Similar to the cranberry Americans know so well, lingonberries are an important ingredient in Scandinavian kitchens. Their tart, juicy flavor lends a warming touch to these easy poached pears, and with just a handful of ingredients, this is perfect for a weeknight dessert. (I originally posted this recipe on my Scandinavian food blog, Outside Oslo.)
The Best Chocolate Fudge Frosting
This chocolate frosting is everything you could hope for from a chocolate frosting. It cools to a thick, fudge-like consistency and in our house is used for drizzling on birthday bundt cakes. But it is also wonderful smushed onto a cupcake or covering a big bowl of ice cream and if you need some real chocolate therapy a big scoop of it definitely won't kill you!
Lime Cream Cheese Frosting
Simple but unbelievably delicious, refreshing, and addicting. Lime and cream cheese were meant to go together in this rich and creamy frosting recipe.
White Chocolate Toffee Chip Frosting
Recently I found a recipe for "2 Ingredient White Chocolate Buttercream" on the Cookies&Cups blog. I loved the idea of melting white chocolate and butter together and turning it into a rich buttercream frosting. Using that technique, I added vanilla, ricotta and English toffee bits for this one. Crunchy and not too sweet, it'll satisfy your craving.
Honey Buttercream Frosting
Because there's no powdered sugar, just honey, cornstarch, and butter, this frosting recipe is a little softer and richer than a traditional buttercream.
Candy Coating Frosting
I needed some frosting for some vanilla cupcakes I had made. I did not want to go out to the store for anything, so I used some items I had on hand. The result was a beautiful fluffy frosting, at first. When I put the remaining cupcakes in the refrigerator over night, the frosting turned into a hard shell. THAT was when it had the best taste.
