These garlic fries, win hands down as the best garlic french fries I’ve ever made. Plus they are baked – so I won’t feel too guilty if I make it every time I’m craving for some potato comfort. When I read that there is garlic infused oil involved, my heart skipped a beat (in a good way, not the way oil would otherwise treat your heart). I got down to making them immediately.

When I was leafing through Falling Cloudberries, I couldn’t help sticking a note against the recipe for Hasselback potatoes once I read the note from the author that said “Hasselback Potatoes are gorgeous: they have style and show up with beautiful crust and structure.” And from experience, you and I can both vouch for our love for all things potato, and all things crispy on the outside and comfortingly tender on the inside.

Treats: Meyer Lemon Bars

When I'm hankering for something citrus-y I love to make meyer lemon bars. Lucky for me both of my brothers and my parents have meyer lemon trees on their property that are never in want of fruit. Buttery, crisp shortbread topped with refreshing and subtly-sweet curd filling....absolutely delicious! You don't have to use meyer lemons for this recipe but if you can find them you won't regret it. The sweetness of the meyer variety is a nice change from the lip-puckering tartness that you'd find with a regular lemon. Most recipes have you pour a concoction of lemon juice, eggs and sugar over a warm, partially-baked crust. If you like citrus you can't go wrong with these meyer lemon bars.
