Leena Eats: Just kidding...NOW Im back! And with dinner party photos!

DUDE. You guys. I made this. For reals. Lovin the Momofuku Milkbar cookbook right now!

So. I said I was back, and clearly, I lied. What I actually meant is, hi, see you again in four months or so. Leena Eats: Just kidding...NOW Im back! And with dinner party photos!

I spent from mid-June through early October studying my ass off for a little test called the GRE, because I decided hey, wouldn’t it be fun to get a doctorate and research food and culture for a living?

It also meant no brain energy was left at the end of day to cook, let alone blog about food. Or exercise. Or eat well.

Leena Bakes: Cranberry Gingerbread Sorbet Sandwiches!

My cranberry gingerbread sorbet sandwiches! A kick-ass treat for any winter occasion.

Rumor has it Turkey day is just around the corner, so I thought this would be the perfect time to roll out my new favorite winter dessert recipe: cranberry gingerbread sorbet sandwiches.

But since cranberries only seem to appear in the market from November-December, this is a really great way to enjoy the short but delicious cranberry season.

The recipe and more food porn after the jump!
