I've been getting back into Minnesota life this weekend with some much needed cooking. Not sure if it's just a nice reminder of M but something has got me cooking up a storm.
Last night, I cooked up my famous lasagna which you can check out
here as well as the amazing
latke recipe I've been making since Christmas (thank you Emily @
cupcakesandcashmere.com!). Whether you're Jewish or not, or have had potato pancakes before, you absolutely need to check out this
latke recipe. I also whipped up a batch of
vin chaud for my roommate; we had quite the feast!
This morning I also made
apple chips from
Nik's website which were so light and delicious! I can't wait to continue making them for quick nibbles throughout the winter.

A few notes...
- I have made the latkes for dinner and breakfast and you can use apple sauce, ketchup, sour cream or syrup to top them off depending on which meal and your preference. Try one of each if you're a newbie, the toppings really change the flavor.
- I made the lasagna recipe in France for M and guessed a bit in the grocery store since everything was in French but with a little guessing a good luck, the lasagna turned out well. I had to substitute mozzarella cheese for cottage cheese and used a handful of dried italian herbs instead of fresh ones for the seasoning.
- I followed the recipe above for vin chaud but you can vary the ingredients according to taste. For example, they didn't have cardamon pods in our grocery store so I used anise extract instead without changing the flavor too much.
Hope you enjoy all the recipes!
Love&Luck
