When I was growing up in my grandparents home in Newland, NC, my mothers sister, Nan Vance Hamwey, made absolutely the best homemade ice cream EVER!

Here is yet another by-product of that journey I take to my pantry to find ingredients that sing out to me to 'pick them'. Yesterday the sing song came from cans of black beans, cannellini beans, and good old kernel corn. Visions of red, orange and yellow bell peppers in my fridge called out to me along with Zima brand 'Seriously Sweet' tiny yellow tomatoes. A quick whisk of oils, sugar and apple cider vinegar took the shape of a quick, simple, and oh so delicious dressing. The rest as 'they' say is history. My husband came in the door after I had finished putting it all together and his nose tracked him straight for the kitchen to ask "what on earth is that smell?" He has always been a sucker for anything sweet & and sour! Place in a large bowl 1 (15 oz.) can each of black beans, cannellini beans and kernel corn; all rinsed and drained well, separately. Add 1/4 each of a red, yellow, and orange bell pepper which has been finely diced;  and about a...

A good friend of mine, Mark Magleby, who is an excellent cook in his own right, brought this terrific cookbook to my attention at the end of last year. He brought it to one of our monthly dinner groups and was browsing through it for pure enjoyment.

I have no idea who Ellen is. All I know is that I associate these tasty cookies with my mom. She calls these "Ellen's Things" and has served them for years, particularly around the holidays. I don't know anyone else who makes them, or anything quite like them. Because I'm not sure that anyone would be tempted to make "things" (Ellen's or anyone else's), I've changed the title to something a bit more descriptive. In any case, I do highly recommend these treats. They have a rich, dense, chocolatey layer on the bottom. On top of that is a creamy, pudding-like layer, which can be colored to suit your mood. And on top of that are swirls of chocolate, which you create by drizzling melted chocolate on the middle layer and then running a fork through the chocolate to make visually interesting swirls and lines. These cookies can be quite attractive. Bottom layer: 1/2 cup butter 5 tablespoons cocoa 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 egg 2 cups graham c...
