MIX-AND-MATCH FOOLS
There are few joys greater than eating ripe berries straight from the carton. But here's one: tossing them with sugar so they're juicier and sweeter, then folding them into freshly whipped cream. Whipping the cream by hand means soft, billowy peaks-just right for folding in macerated berries. If you'd like, hold back a few berries for topping.

Steps:
- Whipped cream:
- Using the largest (and widest) whisk you have, beat cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large chilled bowl until soft peaks form, 3-6 minutes, depending on how many breaks you take.
- Do Ahead: Whipped cream can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Just before serving, whisk cream once or twice to refluff, but don't overwhip it.
- Berries and assembly:
- Combine berries, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until juicy, at least 15 minutes.
- Add berries to whipped cream and fold gently until mixture is streaky but barely combined (just one or two strokes should do it). Scoop into small glasses.
- Do Ahead: Berries can be macerated 2 hours ahead. Leave at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix until the dough is crumbly, but holds together when squeezed.
- Split the base dough in half, add your desired mix-ins, and incorporate them fully.
- We used chocolate hazelnut spread and cocoa powder for one half and peanut butter for the other.
- Roll out each dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it's ¼-inch (6-mm) thick. Chill both doughs for 30 minutes.
- Place one half of flavored dough on top of the other and start to roll up the doughs into a swirl. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until solid, about 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once chilled, unwrap the dough, slice into ½-inch (1 cm) thick coins, and place them on the baking sheet at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart, as the cookies will spread while baking.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Try additional combinations.
- Enjoy!

MIX AND MATCH FAJITAS
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lime zest and juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, green onions, cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add in whatever protein you are using and toss to coat. Set aside in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour no matter the protein. If using steak, chicken or tofu, you can marinate for up to overnight. If using shrimp, stick to 1 hour.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the protein from the marinade and cook to your liking. If you'd like, you can also cook the protein on a barbecue. Allow the protein to rest while you cook the vegetables.
- For the veggies, add the peppers and onions into the hot skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly charred and tender, adding a little olive oil if needed.
- Thinly slice the chicken or beef, if using, and nestle everything into the hot skillet to serve alongside the flour tortillas and your favorite toppings.
- Combine the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and stir in the water and canola oil. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Set the dough aside to rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 10 to 12 equal balls and roll out into a very thin round on a lightly floured surface.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and cook the tortillas until a few golden marks form, about 1 minute per side.
- Keep the tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel before serving.
