Oven Baked Pommes Frites
I don’t know why, but (to me) fries tasted different in Europe. It wasn’t the fact that they often are dipped in mayo or other exotic sauces, seemingly the fries themselves, had a different flavor.

Lemon Granita
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors, I am more of a lemon lover than a chocolate lover (weird, I know). Mary at One Perfect Bite has been posting lemon recipes for the last couple of weeks, driving me absolutely crazy. Especially the lemony sweets. Meyer lemons have magically shown up here in Great Falls, […]
