Cherry Clafoutis is a traditional French dessert. In fact, the traditional way it is baked is with un-pitted cherries. Evidently the thinking is that the cherry pits impart an almond flavor to the dessert.

Quick Beef Pho | Phở Bò Nhanh
The broth in this Quick Beef Pho, or Phở Bò Nhanh, is rich and beefy even though it does not involve simmering beef bones for hours.
Pho is one of Vietnam's signature dishes. According to Andrea Nguyen, the author of The Pho Cookbook: Easy to Adventurous Recipes for Vietnam's Favorite Soup and Noodles, pho is a fairly new dish, "birthed" at the beginning of the twentieth century near Hanoi in the north.

These crispy shrimp snack shack tacos are what happens when tacos and quesadillas get married.

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili
Making this Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili is such an easy way to feed a crowd a super tasty meal. I served these with a homemade tortilla strips garnish.
I'm usually not a big fan of "dump and run" slow cooker recipes, but this chicken taco chili is the exception. It probably helps that the ingredient list includes two cans of tomatoes with chiles (I used Ro-Tel) along with another can of diced jalapeño chiles.

This Tartine-style sourdough rosemary polenta bread has a thick crispy crust and a super flavorful crumb. It's loaded with polenta, rosemary, and pumpkin seeds. While I've made a sourdough polenta bread before, this one has much higher percentage of the polenta.
This Tartine-style sourdough rosemary polenta bread recipe takes the original 75 percent hydration Tartine bread and tosses in a big helping of prepared polenta, along with fresh rosemary and toasted pumpkin seeds.

Neapolitan Cheesecake
This Neapolitan Cheesecake starts with a chocolate brownie crust, a layer of vanilla cheesecake, and a layer of strawberry whipped cream... and it's topped off with a glorious coating of chocolate ganache.
This Neapolitan cheesecake reminds me of my childhood. The only dessert my dad ever really wanted was ice cream, and his two favorite flavors were rocky road and neapolitan, which we all called "pink, brown, and white." Neapolitan ice cream had a permanent space in our family freezer.

Ballpark Pretzels
These Ballpark Pretzels, fresh from the oven, will satisfy your craving for the chewy, pull-apart, salty pretzels you can get at a baseball stadium.
I predict that, if you have about six people over for game day, and you serve these pretzels fresh from the oven, the pretzels will disappear in about five minutes.

Gougères: French Cheese Puffs
Gougères are a crispy, cheesy, custardy, and airy French appetizer, often served with kir or a glass of champagne at a cocktail party, before dinner, or at a fête pâtissier.
Gougères are a cheesy appetizer made with a choux pastry, which is a mixture of water, butter, flour, and eggs. They are crispy on the outside and airy on the inside... and so good!

Oatmeal Blueberry Bread
This Oatmeal Blueberry Bread is one of my new favorite breakfast breads.
This oatmeal blueberry bread is also my new favorite bread that incorporates oatmeal. I know I probably say this about every new bread I make, so take my hyperbole with a grain of salt.
