Rhubarb was never really high up on my list of dessert fruits when I was growing up. This was just me though, I'm pretty sure everyone else was into rhubarb.
Strawberry and Coconut Milk Tart
I agonized for days about what to make with strawberries that would really show off the berries. I went through all twelve of my recipe books, but nothing seems quite right. I became frustrated and exasperated with my fruitless (or fruitful? Haha) quest.
Eventually, I gave up and decided to make something completely different. And you know what? It failed miserably.
Strawberry Raspberry Mojitos
I've been writing this blog for just over six months now and I feel like I've talked a fair bit about myself. I would like to think that you know a little about me, at least the basics. I've severely toned down my love (read: obsession) of cats, but other than that, you know me, kind of. So I feel like it's time for a bit of a confession.
Nutella Zeppole with Dark Chocolate Sauce
I used to be terrified of deep fryers. I mean, I love deep
fried food, who doesn’t? But being near a deep fryer made me antsy. I don’t
exactly know why. I think it was a combination of a few little things. The biggest
would be being burned by hot oil. I mean, if that got onto your skin, how do
you get it off? What if the whole fryer just exploded and you were covered in
hot oil? Terrifying. Secondly, oil stains last forever, no matter how many
times they go through the wash, at least in my experience. And thirdly, I’m
worried that if I get over my fear of deep fryers, I’ll become horribly fat
from deep frying things at home.
Maple Blueberry Muffins
After I made this blueberry sauce, I realized that I still had a whole bunch of blueberries left. I was pretty tempted to just eat them all raw, but I decided not to in the end.
I was a bit hesitant to make blueberry muffins to be honest. When I think of blueberry muffins, I think of the ones you find in supermarkets. You know, the giant ones that are too sweet, cakey, and kind of....sticky. Those muffins give blueberry muffins a bad name.
