Continue ReadingA Light Summer Treat For years I taught preschool for the Chicago Park District. There was a grandmother who used to make these Salami and Cheddar Beach Snacks for every classroom party. They were so simple, so delicious, didn’t cost a lot of money to make, and people went crazy for them. I was meeting a bunch of friends at the beach and I needed to bring a snack.

Continue ReadingA Fancy Restaurant Staple Made Easy When I say anyone can make this French Onion Soup, I mean anyone. Over the years I have come to realize that French Onion Soup is a recipe many people are afraid to make at home. Therefore, they save this indulgence for when they go out to eat. The basic broth for this soup is actually rather simple. It seems to me that the fear of making this recipe at home comes from the cheesy topping this soup is served with. Usually this cheesy topping is a toasted piece of French bread floated on…
