Michigan salad

This “Michigan salad” is one of my recent favorites. As a Michigan native, I presume that the name comes from the addition of (dried) cherries, which are commonly grown in the Traverse City area. The combination of fruit, nuts, and cheese is delicious as a side salad — or it also makes a quick dinner with the addition of some sliced turkey breast. Although it’s a very simple recipe (no measuring needed!), it’s definitely good enough to share!

Russian teacakes

These classic, powdered sugar-covered Russian teacakes are one of my favorite cookies to make during the holidays. You might also know them by their other name of “Mexican wedding cakes”. Regardless of their name, I enjoy the sweet, buttery, nutty flavor combination. Give them a try for your next holiday treat!
