Latkas are easy! Just use smitten kitchen's ratio and directions. I have made 15libs at a time for the past 3 years and they come out perfect.

I always make them a few weeks before I want to serve, freeze, and pop them in the oven to thaw and crisp up. Then all my guests can eat at the same time.

If you are looking for a great applesauce recipe, I highly recommend Alton Brown's 10 minute applesauce. It keeps for a very long time in the fridge.

I third the vegan enchiladas recipe from post punk kitchen (same as Veganomicon). The sauce is delicious - even carnivores devour it.

Thanks for all the comments and the suggestion about the herbs. We moved our herbs to the sill and it looks great!

about 10 years ago when there was a hostess strike the New York Times printed the recipe for twinkies. I have made it a few times and it tastes perfect - without all the additives (except it calls for a box of yellow cake mix).

Agave is for people who cant eat sugar. Like me. Its not about being healthy. Its about eating what doesnt make you sick.
