Backyard Sugaring
This is not something I had on my wish list but since we have few maple trees in our backyard, last year we decided to tap some of them so the kids would see the process of making Maple Syrup. It was such a great experience that we will continue to do this every year.

Eclairs
Eclairs are made with the Choux Pastry which is used for different French pastries as well as savory appetizers. There is no sugar in the choux pastry, the sweetness of the eclairs comes from the cream and the chocolate glaze.

Croissants
This recipe can look intimidating but I assure you that you do not have to be a French pastry chef to make croissants. You do need some patience and a wood rolling pin, other than that you should have all the gifts needed to master this recipe.

Pierogi
My son loves pierogi and we are lucky to have a really good pierogi place nearby. However, I decided to try and make some pierogi myself and I was surprised of how easy it is to make pierogi. Mine don’t look as polished yet but I can assure you that they taste delicious. Tomorrow, October 8, is actually National Pierogi Day so what better timing to try making some?

Mushroom Spread
If you are looking for an appetizer idea this is a great option. It’s easy to make and you can prepare in advance, who doesn’t like that? Also, it’s a one pot dish (if you exclude the strainer) so in my mom of 3 world this would be a perfect dish – minimum effort, no dishes to clean and tastes great.

Crepes
Some of our favorite fillings for sweet crepes are Nutella, honey and chopped walnuts, lemon curd and berries, jam, sugar. You can also do a savory variation - usually I replace 1/3 of the milk quantity with tomato juice and add fresh herbs to the mixture. For savory crepes filling we like sauteed mushrooms and onion, cheese and ham, cheese and fresh herbs.
