Christmas Morning Waffles

These are buckwheat waffles, from a recipe in Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. Very easy and delicious. My mom had them with butter and lingonberry jam (from Ikea), fried potatoes, and sausage. I just had rich yogurt (Fage) and jam on mine. 

Sesame Cookies

I had these for the first time in SF. They go really well with tea, which I'm increasingly thinking should be an daily ritual in the afternoon. Found a recipe online and they turned out pretty well. Buttery, with a slightly nutty taste, from the sesame seeds and a little almond extract.

Salade Nicoise, sort of

Very easy and quick. No need to be afraid of the mayo, though I suppose you could make the salad with a sort of vinaigrette instead.

 1. Boil green beans, eggs, potatoes

 

 2. Add mayonnaise, seasonings

3. Add baguette, tuna salad

Enjoy!
