Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.


Skip overpriced restaurant tuna tartare and make it at home. Tuna, avocado, and jalapeno, flavored with a kick of wasabi and served on wonton crisps makes an absolutely killer appetizer.


3/4 pound sushi grade tuna
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, grated zest of
3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced scallion, white and green parts
2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, seeds removed
1 ripe Hass avocado
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Cut the tuna into 1/4 inch dice and place it in a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, wasabi, soy sauce, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Pour over the tuna, add the scallions and jalapeno, and mix well. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seeds, and peel. Cut the avocado into 1/4 inch dice.
Carefully mix the avocado into the tuna mixture. Add the toasted sesame if using and season to taste.
Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour for the flavors to blend. Serve on wonton crisps or crackers.
This is Ina Garten's recipe from her Barefoot Contessa Family Style Cookbook. The only difference is I prefer to serve it on wonton crisps instead of water crackers, but you could use either. She also makes the toasted sesame seeds optional, but I really think it's much better with them.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
