From time to time, my mother reminisces about "nuts and bolts" - the flavourful, crunchy snack she used to make for her euchre parties.
Nuts and bolts on one corner, and bridge mix on the other. No surprise, there are many variations of this recipe online. I finally found her recipe, and jazzed up the flavour a bit.

Here's what you get - a crisp sugary exterior and a soft chewy interior that will remind you of marzipan.
Some have described Amaretti as the Italian version of the French Macaron - both featuring almond flour and egg whites as the main ingredients. I have taken a course to learn how to make Macaron (and have had success making them).
No course needed for Amaretti - it's crazy easy and pretty much foolproof to make.

My local deli sells a puff pastry almond ring and every once in a while I cave in and buy one for myself as a treat. When a store sells a nice treat, we should perhaps just "go with it", but I recently became a bit obsessed with trying to replicate it.
I served it to a gathering of high school friends. This got a thumbs up from all and BFF rated it better than the one sold at the deli - blush! (That doesn't mean I will stop buying them.)

I became a fan of these goodies when someone brought them to a xmas gathering, but it was years later - when they magically appeared on the glorious Italian Cookie tray of AC - that I finally got the recipe!
For three years now they have been part of my xmas cookie repertoire (who knows why I only make them once a year...) Not only do these come together ridiculously quickly - you actually have to work quickly for best results.

I may one day blog about my past as a Xmas Grump. Each year, the one thing that could change my spirit was end of term food sharing which tended to involve sweets. With a multi-cultural group, some amazing treats appeared and I used to beg for recipes. These almond clusters appeared more than once and with different cultural roots - Portuguese, Russian, Polish... I have no idea about their origin, but they are fab and a now a KB holiday staple!

This red leaf lettuce salad recipe entered my life from a picket line. It is popular at family events and there are never left overs. It comes from "Sister Laura" a great colleague and picket line "sister". It's an easy prep-ahead that makes big family events just a bit less stressful.
