Crash Hot Potatoes. Man, do I love Australia.
First, my oldest daughter was conceived there on our honeymoon…and while we’re on the subject, have I ever shared with you that we almost named her “Sydney” as a nod to her point of origin?

Most Turkish home cooking is deceptively simple.
The ingredients are common and cheap but the skilled hands of our mothers and grandmothers elevate them in such a way that the end product is greater than the sum of its parts. Within the vast and varied breadth of Turkish cooking, one of the most cherished dishes is börek. At its core a basic dough of flour and water encasing a savory filling made from the humble potato, spinach or ground beef, börek is fried or baked so that the edges of the dough crisp up and the filling becomes meltingly tender.

Garlic and Herb Oven Fries Recipe. I have a tendency to be a sucker for french fries.
I never buy them because a whole serving of fries is just too greasy and makes me feel sick. But when I’m with someone who buys some, I can’t help myself.

This is the kind of thing you come up with when you have a one year-old who, like many one year-olds, wishes to eat sweet potatoes with every meal.
