I have been writing my food blog for 11 years now, I got a notification the other day that I have had over 100,000 views which is pretty spectacular THANK YOU! And I can't believe that I have not made my go-to banana bread recipe for you. I have been making this recipe for over…
Nisu – Finnish Sweet Bread – Cooking at Clark Towers
My first time trying Nisu was back in the early 90's. I worked with a Finnish girl and her family made loaves and loaves of it, she always brought it in for company potlucks. I definitely did not spend as much time in the kitchen back then so I had never thought of making it.…
Roasted sheet pan chicken with acorn squash and a sumac brown butter – Cooking at Clark Towers
Today here in New Hampshire it was in the 20's this morning, frost on the pumpkin is an understatement. Today is also the day we turn the clocks back an hour, I did not sleep in an extra hour, my internal clock isn't so precise. And there is a crazy election on everyone's mind. It's…
Braised Chicken with Tomatoes and Herbs – Cooking at Clark Towers
How many times have you come across a recipe where you spend time getting your chicken thigh skin nice and crispy and then they have you cover it was some wet ingredient. My daughter and I have seen it time and time again. Why even bother spending the time if you are going to submerge…
Lazy Apple Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
I think the title of this recipe is deceiving a bit. I was thinking it should be as simple as making a dough and adding some apples to it. There was a little more to it than that. Though it was very tasty and everyone like it. Plus it tasted even better the next day…
Italian Lemon Ricotta Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
We "traveled" to Italy last week for our family's weekly #worldwidewednesday dinner and I was sort of on my own, Nate did make a delicious appetizer sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. But Abbi was not going to be able to make anything so I picked Italy. I knew I could pull…
Coffee Crème Brûlée – Cooking at Clark Towers
When it was decided that our #worldwidewednesday family meal was going to be Southern France I thought I would make profiteroles but I had made them semi recently so back to the drawing board. I haven't made Crème Brûlèe in quite some time. I didn't want it to be the usual vanilla version that I…
Roast Pork Loin with Apples – Cooking at Clark Towers
It is apple season around here and if you have a few leftover you should check this out. A little chopping and browning and then your oven does most of the work and all in the same pan so little clean up. Sounds like a great Sunday dinner idea. Grab a large skillet and brown…
Lime Cookies – Cooking at Clark Towers
A thought came to me earlier this week about all the cookies I have made for our #worldwidewednesday meals and was curious how many there have been and how many I would and have made again because they were so good. Thinking how would a cookie around the world cookbook go? Could I do such…
Banana Pancakes – Cooking at Clark Towers
It seems that no matter how many bananas I buy each week there is always one left. I wonder if it is so one of us makes Sunday Banana Pancakes. Sometimes our inspiration is hearing Jack Johnsons song Banana Pancakes playing. My husband usually is the one that makes them but he is currently out…
Lemon Pound Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago and I really loved the taste and that it made 2 loaves. We ate one and the other went into the freezer for a later date. I had everything on hand minus the buttermilk, sometimes I will buy buttermilk, if I have a plan in mind…

Garden Tomato Soup – Cooking at Clark Towers
I wouldn't say I had a "bumper" crop of tomatoes this year. My husband hates when I buy too many plants, I don't know why this effects him; he doesn't deal with them. Anyway I only bought a few plants and they were doing great until we got SO much rain that they did this…
cheese, bacon, and arugula souffle – Cooking at Clark Towers
I am again going to share a recipe that I didn't make, yet! Yet, meaning this was SO good that I really wanted to share it with you, I just haven't had the time to make it for myself. Taking care of elderly parents is no joke. I find it similar to taking care of…

I know I just blogged about what I made for our #worldwidewednesday meal the other day. I HAVE to share with you the sandwich that Abbi made. It was sublime!!! When she told me where we were going and what she was making my thoughts went immediately to fried chicken. And to be honest it…
Kentucky Bourbon Pie – Cooking at Clark Towers
I made this pie last week for our #worldwidewednesday and HAVE to share it. It was SO good and I would totally make it again and again and again. But only if I had company over or was bringing it somewhere. It is too good to have on hand. A small slice is all you…
Tuna Poke Bowl – Cooking at Clark Towers
A few short years ago I wouldn't even try this, now I crave it. Whenever we go to Surf Restaurant in Nashua, NH or even their Portsmouth, NH location; I also think they opened one up in MA somewhere, but not sure where. I always get the Tuna Poke with out the wakame salad, I…
No Bake Chocolate Cake – Marquesa Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
This past week for our #worldwidewednesday family dinner we "traveled" to Venezuela. I knew it was going to be a busy week so I didn't want to make cookies or fry anything so I looked for a cake I could make. I didn't take my usual 5-6 photos to share (and it looks like only…

Chimichurri Sauce – Cooking at Clark Towers
I had a skirt steak in the fridge since last week that I never got around to marinating. I tend to marinate them for a minimum of 3-4 hours but best if overnight and I did not have that amount of time before we should be eating dinner. Backup plan to make a generally tough…
Loco Moco – Cooking at Clark Towers
I posted about this dish several years ago, I recently saw that a chef made it in competition on Guys Grocery Games and have been thinking about it ever since. I have never been to Hawaii but if I ever do, I will seek out this dish once, twice maybe even three times during my…

Palmiers – Cooking at Clark Towers
Current situation sitting on the patio playing all my word games on my phone, 1st load of laundry out on the line and it is SO peaceful out here. The guy that mows the field came early this morning, so he and his loud mower have gone. The only water feature I have (irrigation LOL)…
Creamy Coconut Milk Chicken – Cooking at Clark Towers
Kind of happy to see the rain today. Hoping it takes care of the ridiculous amount of pollen out there. My porch, driveway, patio and everything on them are pretty much all the same yellowish/green color and it's disgusting. And if I have to go out and clean it all off I would be sneezing…
Tres Leches Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers

Wishing you a meaningful and memorable Memorial Day Stay safe! I wish my garden looked like this now, this was back in 2017 so many things have changed since then. We had to move the flower garden to make room for more veggie beds. Since moving the flower garden I don't even see any Phlox…

Cranberry-Pistachio Cookie Bar – Cooking at Clark Towers
I vividly remember the day that I fell in love with the combination of Cranberry's, White Chocolate and Pistachios.

Neither…

Split Pea Soup – using hambone – Cooking at Clark Towers
You may have probably used, tossed or froze your ham bone from Easter. If you still have it around I made a split pea soup that my husband said he would pay money for. That's a pretty good compliment. I love all kinds of soup but I am not sure if I have ever made…
Happy Easter – have a lovely day! – Cooking at Clark Towers

Bar cookie – Hungarian style – Cooking at Clark Towers
