An Apple Syrup Each Day…..
So, for some reason I had some leftover, cheap, apple juice. You know, the stuff that is in the store for about $5 a metric hecta-liter that you give to kids so that you can peel them off the ceiling later? Or, just spitballing here, you can make both a cocktail and dessert topping.

LarryLand Bean and Kale Soup
One of my favorite things to do on a bitterly cold winter day here in LarryLand is to make soup in a crockpot. Yes, when the weather gets to freezer like temperatures (i.e. low 60’s), we pull on hoodies over our t-shirts, wear shoes instead of flip-flops and hide indoors watching Norm Abrams make sawdust…

It’s Thyme for LarryLand Lemon and Olive Bread
I’ve been baking bread for a LOOOONNNGGGGG Thyme, er, time. Long before everyone took up sourdough during the pandemic and made bread flour from King Arthur very expensive. This bread recipe is a mock-sourdough – go ahead, mock it! The lemon juice and olives add a nice tart taste. I assume you know how to…

Fall Into Cocktails
According to the news, Fall officially starts in August, when Starbucks releases its Pumpkin Spice Latte. I actually came up with these drink recipes last winter, and waited until actual fall (yes, it is officially fall now), to post them up. And these have one big advantage over Starbucks – these have booze.

LarryLand Cheese-Crusted Chicken
I had some spare chicken. And I had some Cheddar Cheese. So I said to myself – it is time to “Get the Frico Outta Here!” With a non-stick pan and about 10 minutes, this is what I came up with.

LarryLand Eggplant Parm
Here’s the thing about an eggplant parm. Eggplant gets very soggy very quickly. And most of the dishes I’ve had have the breadcrumbs fried but, again, that soggy thing makes them a bit gummy. So, I changed it up a bit – I fry the eggplant and top the dish with the breadcrumbs.

LarryLand All-Purpose Marinara
I’ve been making this for a VERY long time. Actually, I came up with this when my daughter was in 7th grade. They had a very nice teacher who had a kitchen class, and for a few years I would come in and do a demonstration (therefore, I was the Kitchen Class Clown). The thing…

Mollie Hersh’s Mandel Bread
Grandma taught me to bake these cookies in her 1 bedroom apartment in West Hollywood, about the time I was a college freshman. They became a staple around my apartment, and when I’d go camping in my car to ski a batch of these would be my breakfast, lunch, dinner and occasional snack (the most…

Roasted Potatoes for a Crowd
Mr. Potato Head hates me. Fair enough, I cook enough of these to deserve that fate. Still, potatoes rank only second to Guacamole in terms of food that never lasts at a party. So, here is my go-to recipe.

Roasted Mushrooms
I’ve been playing around for a few months with this one. I think I have it, but you can tell me that I don’t (and I won’t be surprised if you do… or don’t… whatever). What you get is a really nice mushroom gravy, the flavor gets a bit sweet from fennel and onion. It’s…
