Köfte Sliders Since my Homemade Burger Bun recipe turned out so great, I thought I would bake some of the dough into slider buns to change-up my Köfte routine. Normally, I just grill my Köfte and they are great like that with a little salad. These Köfte Sliders are so tasty and if you have small kids, they will love them. They are the perfect size for little hands. Try them out and let me know what you think. Afiyet olsun!...

Savory Sesame Gruyère Pastries When I made my Savory Sesame Gruyère Pastries, I was transported to my summer days in Turkey. Sipping hot tea by the seaside is one of the things I miss most about Turkey. Turks love their hot tea like us Southerners love our Sweet Iced Tea. In Turkey, you can just stop by a bakery and pick up both sweet and savory pastries to go with your tea. They are delicious and inexpensive. Since I don’t...

Ramadan Pidesi Ramadan Pidesi is a soft flat pide bread that is served for iftar (evening meal breaking the fast) and sahur (pre-dawn meal) during the month of fasting which is known as Ramadan. I loved going to the bakery and seeing them coming out of the wood fired ovens and being stacked ready for purchase. I still get chills thinking about when I worked at Onur Air in Turkey and on the train/dolums/bus ride home from work it would...

I know it is not quite fall yet but my daughter had asked me to make a batch of chili so of course I obliged her wishes. I really wasn’t in the mood for cornbread and was trying to think of something to jazz things up a little bit. I think these Jalapeno Cheddar Scones did the trick. They were so light and flaky and the perfect accompaniment to my Chili. They looked great too. These scones are so easy...

Some of my best recipes come about when I am trying to use up tidbits in my pantry and these Cranberry, Apple and Walnut Scones are no exception. I had a small amount of cranberries in my pantry that I needed to use up. I also had some apples and oranges that were not getting eaten up quickly enough. These items were the inspiration for my scones. My cousin/sister Donna loves scones so I had already told her I was...

A while back, I bought a rotisserie attachment for my charcoal grill from Wally World for only six bucks! I have been chomping at the bits to try it out. Of course the first thing that came to mind is to make doner. Doner is a Turkish dish that is meat on a spit that is cooked vertically. I will have to make a few adjustments because the rotisserie is horizontal, but I am sure it will turn out just fine. Anyway to try...

I have a confession to make. . . I created my Oat and Sunflower Seed Yeast Loaf recipe to use up some sunflower seeds that I had in a jar in my spice cabinet. Is that crazy or what? I know the majority of my post lately have been recipes for bread but every time I reached into my spice cabinet, that little jar of sunflower seeds were taunting me, “Use us, use us!” So this morning was as good...

Biscuits with butter and jelly are one of my favorite breakfast combinations. If you like biscuits, you are going to love this recipe. It is quick and easy and can be made in the bowl. No need to roll them out. Just put all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well, shape into biscuits and bake about 15 minutes. These were so good with butter and fig jelly but they would have been great with some gravy too. I...
