apple blackberry bramble recipe ingredients shot My favorite dishes to make at home are the ones my mom collected over years, pasting them into her binder. She made them over and over, and eating them never gets boring. This is the kind of home cooking families have been doing for generations, and it brings families together. My original recipes are developed by me, for other people who aspire to be the kind of cook whose food is fun to make and good to eat- the kind of food that brings people to the table.

My little guy declared it “honey cake” (Why? I have no idea, as it’s nothing like cake, but if it makes him happy, it makes me happy.) and kept trying to steal mine. (You’re lucky I got a photo for you, as he’s perfectly capable of inserting his spoon right into my photo shoot!)

30 minute “Faux” Mein Recipe

This easy lo mein recipe is quicker than takeout, can be made with beef, chicken, or tofu, has vegetarian and vegan variations, and my husband said it was better than the restaurant version. The sauce only has four ingredients- five if you count water. Everybody has got time for that!
