Shallots, white onion's milder cousin, are peeled after boiling (so no tears) then roasted to a golden perfection. Lovely alongside roast beef, pork chops or even turkey. They can also be made a few days ahead of time.

Berry Chocolate Turnovers
Cream cheese chocolate dough filled with the most delicious chocolate, raspberry and cranberry filling!
I found this recipe awhile ago, it was for rugelach. When I made them the filling oozed out all over the baking sheet and burned. But I liked the dough and I loved the filling, so I thought I'd give it second try. I added cocoa to the original dough recipe, which is a very easy dough to handle. And made mini turnovers instead of rolled crescent cookies. It worked out much better!
