Recipes

Fudge brownie

Sea Salt Brownies

Brownie option 2: fudgy and also made with plenty of butter. This time with a (completely not) secret ingredient: sea salt! (Trust me, it works.)

Soft pretzels

Soft Pretzels

I miss being able to get fresh baked pretzels at any bakery on any block in Germany. This is my inadequate and tedious substitute.

Spaghetti and meatballs

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Together with garlic bread and steamed broccoli, this is one of my favorite meal-prepping recipes. My labmates have seen me eat a lot of this.

Sugar cookies

Sugar Cookies

Even in cookies, the secret is cheese -- in this case, cream cheese. It keeps the cookies moist and prevents blandness. Also butter. Always butter.

Swiss onion soup

Swiss Onion Soup

It's French onion soup, but with Swiss cheese. See? Cheese makes everything better.

Tortilla chips

Tortilla Chips

If I don't keep a bag of tortilla chips around and have to make my own every time, I should theoretically eat less of them. I don't think it's working.
