Hash Browns

The morning after we had potato skins, we used the leftover potato flesh to make hash browns with our Ziploc omelets. They are simple to make and are more tender and flavorful than the frozen bags you buy at the grocery store.

Garlic Mashers

Mashed potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to many meals. I love to season the mashers differently with each meal, using garlic, wasabi, and herbes de Provence, to name a few. Light sour cream is a healthy way to make your mashers smooth and creamy.

Mornay Sauce

Mornay sauce is essentially Béchamel sauce with cheese and some seasonings. French sauces have a mystique about them and trying to make them has always seemed like a daunting task to me. However, I have recently discovered that at least the roux, béchamel and mornay sauces are surprisingly simple to make.

Béchamel Sauce is a basic French sauce used as a thickener and base for many other sauces and dishes. It is essentially a roux (equal parts fat and flour) with milk. Just because it's a French sauce, don't let it scare you away. It's actually simple to make and can be incorporated into non-French meals, such as Macaroni and Cheese.

Dutch babies take me back to my childhood summers at the lake. We always ate these puffy pancakes with fresh berry butter, syrup and powdered sugar but you can use any other toppings.

I use this pie crust whenever I make berry pies. It is thin and light, and it has a great buttery flavor that complements any type of filling.

Berry butter takes me back to my childhood, spending summers at the lake. We would have berry butter made with freshly-picked raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. It is colorful, rich, creamy and makes a festive spread for breakfasts and snacks.

When I lived in France I usually got these with a simple topping of powdered sugar and fresh berry jam. But when I was in the mood for a decadent treat, I ordered them with Nutella.

Scones are a quick bread of Scottish origin that always make me think of the British tea time. There are variations around the world and you can find scones of many different flavors but in my opinion, you can't go wrong with a plain buttery scone with berry jam.
