For the last couple weeks, we have been eating cinnamon buns. Maybe it is the quarantine that is causing us all to do more baking or just our love for cinnamon buns. We have been using this recipe recently: https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/best-cinnamon-rolls/ They always turn out great! And the recipe explains a lot so I would check…
German Spaetzle
Spaetzle is a German egg noodle dumpling that is surprisingly easy to make. It is great as a side dish and easy to whip up as a substitute for pasta. Add all the dry ingredients (2 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt) in a mixing bowl. Add…

Almost Authentic Pad Thai
