Granola, Simple
Tamales, Black Bean
I am not sure where we found this recipe, but it is one of our top favorites. The tamales do take a good afternoon to prepare, but there is often extra to share or to freeze.
Look for the corn husks at a Mexican store if there is one near you. Soak the dried beans over night before cooking, or see notes to use canned beans. Be sure to soak the corn husks a few hours ahead of time. Homemade tomatillo sauce is recommended.

We usually double this recipe.
Chex Mix- Pickle Flavored
An idea from Katie that Adrian played with. Very good!
Ricotta Gnudi
This is an Italian dish that Andrea taught me for “cultural immersion” cooking class . This is excellent with Andrea’s Vodka sauce.
Pakistani Kima (Ground Beef Curry)
Pumpkin bread
This is a sweet bread similar to the recipe we made in cans years ago. While I would not recommend baking this in cans, if you can find a round bread baking tin, fill it a little more than half full and place on center rack to bake.
We reduced the sugar from the original recipe, but reduce it further if desired. Toasted with a little butter is our favorite way to eat it.
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookie
These are very good with just the chocolate chips, they are even better with ginger, craisins and pecans!
Chocolate Sauce
July 25th is National ice cream Sundae Day. This is a simple sauce that works great for Sundaes!
P.S. It is also national chili dog day.
Maple Caramel Corn
Finally figured out this recipe!
