Spritz cookies

This is the secret family pizza recipe. (Sssshh! Don't tell anyone.)

Potato pancakes

Potato Pancakes

Fried starch - what's not to like? Best served with butter on top and a side of kielbasa.

Pumpkin cream cheese muffins

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Recipe adapted from "Holy Cow, What a Ham", a set of short video memoirs created by Babe Bacon shortly before he went missing.

Red Beans and Rice

This takes awhile to make, but it make a huge quantity of tasty, flavourful food.

Sausage spinach loaf

Sausage Spinach Loaf
