These thumbprint cookies are a perfect birthday gift. Sprinkles are added to cookie dough. Then the cookie dough is rolled into balls and wells are pressed in the center of each dough ball. The formed cookies are refrigerated for 1 hour before baking. Next the cookies are baked and cooled. Heated heavy cream is added to white chocolate and stirred until smooth. Food coloring is added. Then the ganache is spooned into the wells of the cookies before adding more sprinkles.

Marinated Vegetable Pasta Salad
This tasty pasta salad starts with roasted vegetables. A dressing is made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and spices. Zucchini, onion, tomatoes and mushrooms are marinated in half of the dressing before being roasted in the oven. Then the vegetables are added to a bowl with cooked pasta. Next the vegetables and pasta are tossed with the remaining dressing. Cubed mozzarella is added before serving.
These delicious pitas start with well-seasoned chicken. Brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt and olive oil are whisked together. Then the mixture is added to a bag with chopped chicken and sliced lemons. The chicken can be baked immediately or marinated for a few hours. Next the chicken is baked in the oven until crisp. While the chicken is baking a ranch sauce is made with plain yogurt, parsley, ranch dressing mix, lemon juice and olive oil. To serve the pitas, ranch sauce is spread onto warmed pitas, then topped with the cooked chicken, lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes.
A quote, a comic and a plan
“I’m going to break one of the rules of the trade here. I’m going to tell you some of the secrets of improvisation. Just remember—it’s always a good idea to follow the directions exactly the first time you try a recipe. But from then on, you’re on your own.” – James Beard
Sometimes, you have to try a recipe to realize how to change it to your liking. I change a lot of what I cook, I look at the original recipe for inspiration, then tweak things from there. Sometimes it’s a small changes, sometimes it’s a drastic change. But I’m always willing to try a new recipe and I hope you will too!
