ZestOfLimeCashewFudge01

ohhh you’re gonna like this one and since it’s Valentine’s Day, this dessert is coming right in time.

Don’t worry if you already have a lot of work to be done in the kitchen for tonight, this fudge recipe is gonna take you about 5 minutes to prepare and only 30 minutes to 1 hour maximum in the freezer so you don’t have to do much and can concentrate on your main dish.

Tired of the classic chocolate fudge?  This no bake and no fuss cashew version should satisfy your palates.  Not too keen on extremely sweet desserts?  No worries, the lime juice and zest of lime is balancing the flavours perfectly.

UnicornMeatStuffedPeppers04

  This is a nice recipe for all your meat lovers, vegan and vegetarian hater friends out there.

We all know a few, those people who absolutely despise tofu and would never indulge in a nice tofu anything even if their lives depended on it.  It will be able to fool any of those harsh critics and amuse them by the thought of eating unicorn meat.

Make the test, challenge one of your buddies and let’s see if they are able to taste this awful tofu they are so scared of.

“Gingery” Peanut Butter Melt in your Mouth Cookies

January 25, 2016 by Ariel 2 Comments

Hard_MeltInYourMouth_PeanutButterCookies03

One of my most perfect cookie…

Hard and crunchy at first but them it starts melting in your mouth revealing delicate peanuts, ginger & cardamom flavours.  A nice foolproof, easy recipe for when you don’t want to break your head and have a store bought quality cookie.

How long can you last before you eat them all?  They lasted 3 days in my house and I had to fight for it because they would have been gone the first night.  Oh and did I mentioned they absorb milk PERFECTLY?  …so please, dunk them!

Good luck!

Cloud9Eggs02

Such an easy and interesting recipe the Cloud 9 eggs.  A leaky yellow ready for you to dip your toast in and a fluffy, almost like a perfect cloud textured egg white is my second favourite way to eat eggs after being poached.

So either you’re searching for a new fun way to jazz up your mornings before work or to impress a conquest… This neat little trick might make you look more skilled in the kitchen than you actually are.

Enjoy  *^_^*

Spinach & Tomato Galette with Hard Boiled Eggs

January 18, 2016 by Ariel 1 Comment

SpinachTomatoGalette05

It was my first time making a galette of any kinds and like the girls from Food52 said in their video for the NY Times, making a galette is super easy and it’s one of those meal where you don’t really need a recipe and, once you understand the principles, and/or you already have your dough recipe ready, it’s only a question of filling.

A few days ago, without any recipe but with a head full of ideas, I gave it a shot.  The dough came out hard and cracky like I wanted and although it was a “win”, I promised myself to make a different crust for each future galettes because… well… they are worth it!

I sincerely hope you get around to try this one.  We ate it as a breakfast with a hard boiled egg but by all mean be creative and eat it for lunch and dinner as well.

HerbesSalees01

What an original and cleaver way to keep your dearest summer herbs during the cold winter months while creating a one of a kind topping and seasoning.  I love making salted herbs because you can go pretty much in any direction you want without worrying about bad bacterias…. thank you excessive amount of salt! lol!

This recipe isn’t an official recipe, every year the mix is different and with each different mixture, different recipes are being created.  This year, I wanted something basic that could go well with almost everything and here’s the result.

Chorizo_RedPotato_StirFry02

After living in the Portuguese area of Montreal for many years, I became a little addicted with Chorizo.  As I traveled around, I noticed that every Chorizo is made a little differently and I’m starting to miss the soft and spicy version I was able to find at my beloved Portuguese grocery.

Here’s a simple recipe that brings me back to my time eating my favourite type of Chorizo.. Hope you like it!
