Lemon Garlic Drumettes

Once upon a time (in my life), chicken wings were the cheapest part of the chicken.

Few people seemed to be interested in using them for purposes other than chicken stock, until the "chicken wing" craze hit in the 1960s. Their popularity skyrocketed in the subsequent decades, and now a Google search on chicken wing recipes garners almost 9 million results!

Look at these lovelies! What could be more tasty than garlic and lemon?

Italian Lemon Twist Cookies

This will not be the first (or last) time I mention my obsession with Italian cookies. These have been one of my favourites at Italian Showers, though, oddly, I make them only once a year - at Christmas.

They are the first off the assembly line in December since they freeze well - and it takes a lot of self control to make sure they all (most) make it to the freezer.

Sweet Buns with Ricotta

I am thrilled to have found this recipe that replicates a treat made by my grandmother. The recipe source calls these "Kolaches" and attributes them to Czech immigrants, but these kinds of sweet breads seem to exist in so many European cultures - who is to claim the origin?

Sweet and Tangy Lemon Cookies

I have always wanted a good lemon cookie recipe and have long been motivated to find one as a treat for my BF who is crazy for lemon. (She loved these! She "hid" them in the freezer and declares they actually taste great right out of the freezer - haha!) I used a recipe from Merry About Town - a blogger I met recently at the Food Bloggers of Canada Conference, but modified the glaze.
