A bourbon ball is a classic no-bake holiday recipe, and, chances are, your grandmother probably had a recipe for them. The homemade versions are most often a mix of chocolate, cookie crumbs and bourbon, sometimes with nuts and sugar or other ingredients mixed in. I’ve also seen commercial bourbon balls that have a creamy bourbon-infused fondant as the center, but obviously that kind of thing is much harder to recreate at home....

Honestly, I think one prerequisite of “amusement park fare” is that you look completely ridiculous whilst you eat. I mean, c’mon… cotton candy? Turkey legs? And of course, churros, which seem to get longer and longer every time I see them. But that doesn’t mean we enjoy them any less. As it turns out, these delicious carnival staples can be made at home (not to mention in a much more reasonable size), in much less time than you might expect....

I’ve decided that I really need friends with fruit trees. The kind of friends that have so much delicious, ripe fruit bursting from their trees that to them, I am doing them a huge favor by taking some. Lucky for me, I found a friend in the California Fig Advisory Board. They have lots of fig trees in their backyard (the whole state, really! Lucky ducks!) and were kind enough to send me some....
Well wasn’t that a spicy week? But let’s end it with something mild. Cool off your burning palette with… More peppers. Wait, what? Peppadews, if you’ve never encountered them before, are sweet little peppers from South Africa. They are most often sold pickled and brined in jars, much like olives, and have a sweet, briny flavor with an oh-so-subtle kick (there are hotter versions available if you’re game). But otherwise totally mild, sweet even, especially when compared with the piquant posts earlier this week....
This is my version of the Long Life salad seen on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. It’s loaded with kale, black beans, lima beans, lentils, quinoa, and spiralized beets.

Kale and Bean Salad This plant-based beans and kale salad is great as a meal, side or prepping for the week....

This Nutmeg Plantain Cake with a coconut caramel popcorn topping has been in my head for over a year. No lie folks. The main reason it took so long was that I was way too impatient to let the plantains ripen. Miss N and I love plantains so much that 2 days into the extra ripening period, I would just give up and we would have baked plantains or fried plantains for breakfast....

So when I saw this recipe for sugar cookie bars, I knew I had to make them immediately. Whereas typical sugar cookies require a day’s commitment, to refrigerate, roll, bake, and decorate, the simple act of baking it as a bar cookie simplifies that process immediately....
