Experimenting with mixing the flavors of cinnamon red-hot candies and apples. The first attempt was to bake some Braeburn apples (cored) with the candies inside. After Charlie and I had this dessert, served up with a little vanilla bean ice cream, I thought of a better concoction. Slicing the apples thin after skinning and sauteing them with butter and a few pinches of love..pulverizing the red hot candies into a homemade cinnamon vanilla ice cream...mmmmmm will make a yummy Valentines Day dessert!
In my house you will pretty much always find my milk glass bowl filled with kisses. Mostly they will be of various Holiday varieties depending on the month...So just as the candy cane & cherry chocolate ones disappeared, Valentines Day brings white chocolate and raspberry swirls with a little dark chocolate "hug" inside...
The Blueberry French Toast from Fridays post...turned out awesome! This I will make again and again..especially since I had no less than 5 pints of Blueberries in the fridge since they were having a wicked sale! Next time I will put a little more maple syrup in the eggs than what the recipe calls for. The blueberry topping was out of this world and just got better & better as it sat. Served this up with Havarti & herbed dusted eggs, sage sausages, thick cut bacon and these......
Yogurt parfaits...I love making this easy, little, fancy additions to brunch. I only have 4 parfait glasses so I like to use a variety of vintage glasses or milk glass cups as well. My vintage champagne glasses looks so pretty when filled with layers of yummy fruit and yogurt. I typically use whatever I have on hand yogurt..fruits..and granola. This am being it's berry season I had some plump and juicy blackberries on hand..sliced up fresh banana...used a combo of cherry and berry mix yogurt with some pumpkin flax seed granola...yum!
Tonight's dinner was thin sliced top sirloins...black beans & corn ...and this fabulous Lemon Pasta with garlic cheese baguettes.
Spring is almost here!
Sheppards Pie using the slow roasted pork from the crock pot topped with garlic mash... gotta make the most of these hearty meals while the weather is still calling for them...they also widdle down my endless supply of frozen veggies;) This dish is actually so easy to layer using whatever leftover meat you may have...with veggies layered on top and a nice layer of homemade mashed potatoes spread over it. I melt cheese on top of mine of course!
So Happy Sunday!! I would love to hear what is cooking in your house this weekend! Homemade brownies are waiting to be topped with vanilla ice cream & choc. syrup...should be illegal. We had a great weekend taking the boys to see The Green Hornet...napping...game playing..reading...and I got those bathrooms clean...but I did not go to church..I worked on my Sociology homework instead and did well on my quizzes. I would like to find more time for spirituality in my life and I will here soon. Hope everyone has a great week!
Namaste
