Cranberry Upside Down Cake

The idea of baking this cake comes from a recipe published 10 days ago (here). I ended up choosing a slightly different one (here). Do not hesitate to bake this Cranberry Upside Down Cake for Thanksgiving, even it's your first try. You can trust this recipe 100%. I've used fresh cranberries from my C.S.A. box. It was a delight.

Spaghetti + Rapini + Toasted Garlic + Bread Crumbs

First time ever: I've cooked - and eaten! - rapini (or broccoli rabe). Thanks, CSA box of the week! I was inspired by a recipe in the NY Times but I have changed some proportions to better fit my taste.... and my diet! My version of the recipe is hereafter. You can also take a look at the original one, just in case.

Zuppa Inglese Veloce Veloce

The "Zuppa Inglese" is my husband's favorite dessert and is becoming my older daughter's too. I've found a way to speed up the recipe. Still delicious. That's a zuppa inglese "veloce, veloce" (very quick). 

Spinach Salad + Dried Cranberries + Pine Nuts

I discovered this salad about 3 years ago here. From then on, I have been making it regularly without getting tired of it. I love love love this salad!

Japanese Cheesecake

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake. But this one, I can tell you, tastes like heaven! Maybe it's because it's a "Japanese" cheesecake and I like everything about Japan... No, seriously, it's damn good and much lighter than the American version. I've followed this recipe (in French). There is a similar one in English here.

Pumpkin + Feta Muffins

I baked these savory muffins today. Since I used the leftovers of a butternut squash roasted yesterday, it only took me 1/2 hour from the time I started to when they were on my plate. I ate them for lunch with soup and salad. Yummy! I've stolen the recipe here. 

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

I received the book "Good to the Grain" by Kim Boyce in June. I really wanted that book. However I've never tried any of its recipes yet. I think I was intimidated. I wanted to pick the perfect recipe right away. Then the other day I've read a blog article about the whole wheat chocolate chip cookies from that book. I felt like I had to bake these cookies. So I did!
