195 Nut BreadBy HeatherLeighThis bread is C-L-A-S-S-I-C! Makes ya feel like you're right back on Hempstead Avenue!
Heather’s Ricotta & Honey CrostiniBy HeatherLeighI stole (guessed with my tastebuds) this recipe from one of my favorite restaurants in New York. These are a great hors d'oeuvre when you have some vegetarians in the mix, but incredibly delicious for carnivores as well. Very simple dish, but because of this, make sure you're not getting cheap-o ingredients. And if you want to keep the carnivores happy, a slice of pancetta between the pesto and ricotta is exquisite.
195 Roasted SoupBy HeatherLeighHearty, gorgeous soup and vegetarian-friendly if you sub in veggie stock! I picture this being perfect after a day of skiing, or a long night at a bar. Serve with french bread and a grin!
Debby’s Crab CakesBy HeatherLeighIf you're not procuring top-shelf crab meat for this, fuggedaboutit. It's all about the crab and the crab has gotta be good. Serve with cocktail or tartar sauce, but frankly, a squeeze of lemon is perfect so you get to enjoy these in their native scrumptious glory!
Chicken a la KeahonBy HeatherLeighThe family's namesake chicken dish that has everyone fighting for seconds. Goes great with rice actually, to lighten the mouthfeel from this decadent chicken, but it's so tasty I'm sure gruel would be a lovely accompaniment.
Colleen’s Black Bottom CupcakesBy HeatherLeighI will not lie: this is my absolute favorite cupcake. The fact that they're meant to be tiny, equates to me justifying a dozen in my tummy whenever I'm in striking distance. Impossible not to love. So excited to have this recipe . . . or will it be my waistline's downfall?
Alicia’s Pineapple SalsaBy HeatherLeighAn old standby, feel free to grill various components to give a different flavor. Also, this is a very mild salsa, so have your Tabasco, cayenne and chilies on hand to spice it up to your liking.
