Don’t let the French title scare you.  Profiteroles, or small cream puffs are a mixture of flour, eggs, butter and water referred to as Pate a Choux. Easy to whip out ahead of time they’re filled with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. They make a grand ending to any meal with minimum effort.

My favorite meal on a cold winter’s eve are lamb shanks, and …..One of the easiest and most delicious ways of preparing a plentiful dish to satisfy anyone’s hunger during a cold snap is to braise or slow cook a cut of meat. In particular using beef or lamb shanks are my chosen favorites for the great flavor but also for the convenience of being left to simmer in the oven for a couple of hours.
