Spanish Tortilla Bites with Winter Greens and Garlic
The Spanish Tortilla (or Tortilla Española) is not actually a tortilla at all--at least in the way most Americans understand the term. Instead, tortilla is a large, delicious frittata of eggs and potatoes. This fresh take on the classic Spanish dish is a great make-ahead, single-bite hors d'oeuvre for a cocktail party. The mild base ingredients are a great canvas for added layers of flavor, and, once you learn the technique, the variations are endless. It is delicious served warm, room temperature or even cold, and is a great, filling option for any gluten-free guests you might be catering to.

Apple, Pear, and Cranberry Coffee Cake
We like to bake with a combination of apples: some sweet and some tart, some that keep their shape and others that will break down and get saucy. Adding the pear lends a perfumey quality to the cake.
