Swiss cherry torte. White cake, very fluffy whipped icing and a cherry topping.

The Secret Ingredient: Smoked Salt

Easy to make yourself. Just place some salt on a cookie sheet in a grill with some soaked wood chips.

I use it in almost anything I would normally use regular salt with, even some baked items!

And want something simple but amazing? Popcorn with smoked salt. (Or corn on the cob.)

Don't think complicated. The simpler the better.

Very basic... homemade salsa with very fresh vegetables.

Healthy & Delicious: Cherry Lemonade

So roughly how many cherries (volume... pint, etc.) is a half pound? I'm never good at estimating weight when purchasing ingredients.

A bit of cream in the burger and provolone on top, grilled.

Snapshots From Italy: Hammer Your Spears

Grilled with olive oil and smoked (grill) coarse salt is amazing.

If you're not careful, the asparagus can burn before it gets to the desired texture (whatever you prefer) so I zap the bunch for 60-90 seconds first.

Salt Explained

Course salt "smoked" on a grill. Awesome in recipes are even on popcorn.

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?

Funny... kids (middle school) where I teach just started doing the ranch dip recently. Catching on like crazy.

Dinner Tonight: Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad

These Asian noodle salads are great during the summer, when you can use whatever veggies that you have available fresh in the markets or gardens. I've been using a recipe from Splendid Table (splendidtable.publicradio.org) that is great, as I'm sure this is.

Thin pasta is also just as excellent.

Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine

I double jonfoxx's scrapple vote, preferably with apple butter.

Maybe it's not dutch, but you better pick up some Utz potato chips.

I don't put ranch on anything! Gross tasting stuff.

Amen "omnomnom"! (I'm from Mich, too. Same area)

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?

I absolutely love ranch on my pizza. Granted, I am a middle-school student (though homeschooled), and got the idea from my (middle school, homeschooled) friends after we started dipping French-Fries in Ranch (that's justified in Mich--here most of the fries are way too greasy or way too dry). We decided to try it on our pizza--and it's great. Only Hidden Valley (tm) works though. Deep dish pizza doesn't need it, fortunately. A group fave for us is cayenne pepper, fresh black pepper, ranch, and tabasco sauce. I agree, if it's good pizza, it doesn't need condiments, but (1) pizza in metro-detroit isn't that good, and (2), it doesn't matter if it needs it--if ya want it, I say put it on unashamedly!

Those lemon bars they used to sell at the Little Theater! They were sooooooooo good ... I would love to discover a gluten-free recipe for them!

Baking has been light in our house since my husband's celiac diagnosis last fall, but we adore making brownies (an easy thing to bake gluten-free).

My favorite all time baked thing is Raisin Bread. My grandmother and I used to make it all of the time.

It's a tie between apple pie and homemade cookies, both made from scratch.
