Let's cook. And eat.

This V day Mr. S was missing in action. But to keep things upbeat, Master S and I tried to make things special. We made these chocolate dipped strawberries and stuffed peppers.  There wasn’t much to the peppers - Ms Julie shared the recipe. Her recipe called for cream cheese, but we used some hung curd mixed with honey goat cheese. Mix, stuff and top with “everything but the bagel sesame” spice.  Crunchy and oh so good. 

This recipe is a keeper. Master S was happy I made it and repeatedly thankful- it made my day. Unfortunately we devoured it so quickly that there is no picture to share.  https://www.recipetineats.com/garlic-chicken-thighs-recipe/

A few years back when we were visiting NYC, Mr. S’s cousin insisted we visit the Levain bakery. A hole in a wall kind of place, with a long line outside, I waited patiently to get my hands on the delicious gooey amazingness called their chocolate chip walnut cookies. It was worth the wait for sure.  Many years later, back at home, I went looking for a copy cat recipe online. And I found this. It works and what comes out at the end is plain deliciousness.  https://www.modernhoney.com/levain-bakery-chocolate-chip-crush-cookies/
