Hors d’oeuvres
Spanakopita
Greek spinach pie with a phyllo pastry crust. You’d think it’d be hard, but it’s pretty approachable. And so worth it!
Spinach Puff Pastries in a Toaster Oven
Rich, flaky, savory spinach puff pastries featuring cream cheese and sour cream. Conventional oven? OK. Toaster oven? Easier, more efficient.
Homemade Graham Crackers in a Convection Oven
Homemade graham crackers: in between cracker and cookie: not completely sweet, just sweet enough. Delicious plain, or on a cheese plate.
Lemon Cranberry Snowdrops
Lemon Cranberry Snowdrops are cream-cheesy, mildly-citrusy, delicious little candy-coated cookies with bonbon aspirations.
Savory Strudel
Although “more pie” is a great way to use an extra pie crust, sometimes you want meat and onions in a melty cheese. For your consideration: savory strudel … in other words, a hot sandwich baked in a crust. Everyday cooking; reheats well.
A “Perfect” Chocolate Chip Cookie
A “perfect” chocolate chip cookie? Maybe. I’m not sure such a thing exists, does it? But is this great cookie? Definitely.
Egg and Mushroom Rolls
Egg and Mushroom Rolls with olives and sun-dried tomatoes: quick, flexible, easy, delicious comfort food wrapped in a tortilla.
Blackberry-Saskatoon Hand Pies: Pop-Tarts, Perfected
The sour-cream-and-butter dough for these homemade Blackberry-Saskatoon Hand Pies is somewhere in between pie crust and pastry. A touch of glaze makes them perfectly sweet. They’re sort of like Pop-Tarts, except we left out the thiamine mononitrate, the palm oil (with TBHQ for freshness!), the dextrose, the high fructose corn syrup … you get the picture.
