This Cobb salad has some of my favorite ingredients: chicken, egg, tomatoes, blue cheese, and avocado.

Pear Clafoutis

Pear Clafoutis

It sounds odd to say that a recipe's biggest problem is that it looks too good, but that's the case with this pear clafoutis, a crustless custard fruit tart that often looks a lot sweeter and richer than it actually is. Usually made with cherries, this rustic French dessert adapts easily to any kind of seasonal fruit. If desired, brush the top with warmed fruit preserves and honey and garnish with whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream.

Traditional Gyro Meat

Traditional Gyro Meat

This delicious gyro meat is the closest I've come to emulating my favorite Mediterranean restaurant's recipe. The Greek/Lebanese-style meatloaf is sliced and served with pita bread, tzatziki, and tomatoes. The preparation time seems long, but most of it is resting time, so you can be doing other things! 

Malted Chocolate Milkshake

Malted Chocolate Milkshake

When I was in high school, I had a part-time job at a pizza restaurant. After every payday, I would treat myself to a chocolate malt which at that time was served at the local pharmacy soda fountain. These days I make my own, but it’s still like a “blast from the past.
