Perfect Pickled Peppers Recipe

A friend shared this recipe for canned jalapenos some years ago. She loved sweet pickled jalapenos but needed to avoid the sugar because of her diabetes. She came up with this cold-packed recipe using Necta Sweet saccharine and it has become my family’s favorite canned jalapeno recipe. These peppers are not overly sweet tasting and stay exceptionally crunchy. My husband occasionally adds sliced onions and garlic for some extra zest.

Eliot’s Pasta Amatriciana Recipe

In The Magicians, Eliot was preparing an Amatriciana sauce and pasta when Quentin and Alice finally broke into the physcial kids’ bungalow. He added to the sauce some of the red wine he was drinking and some cream. Eliot said “I think if I weren’t a magician, I’d be a chef. It’s just such a relief after all that invisible, intangible b…s…, don’t you think?”
Amatriciana sauce is an Italian tomato sauce made with pancetta and a red pepper kick. It is typically served over bucatini, a hollow spaghetti-type pasta, but fettuccine works as well.

Magic Cookie Bars Recipe

Magic Cookie Bars are a childhood favorite of mine. I remember the introduction of my mom’s recipe said this treat is called Magic Cookie Bars because they vanish as soon as you set them out! And they do magically disappear! In my version, I cut back a bit on the coconut and nuts and add butterscotch chips.
