Loreto July 15, 2019

Turmeric Ginger Honey No-Churn Ice Cream. Take soft creamy rich ice cream and take it on a trip through the spice trail and you are left with an amazing, no wait… super-duper, no that’s no it… supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, exotic treat.

Song of the Day: “Love Never Felt So Good” by Justin Timberlake/Michael Jackson.

No Ice Cream Maker, No Problem…………………..

Turmeric Ginger Honey No-Churn Ice Cream, this defies flavor and texture. The best part, no ice cream maker required, its no-churn. Yes, that’s right, because this ice cream requires only whipped cream with condensed milk, honey, and spices all folded together simply to be chilled in the freezer to a delightfully creamy texture! Now that’s something to talk about!

Mustikkapiirakka (Finnish Blueberry Pie)

Nicoletta July 10, 2019

Mustikkapiirakka (Finnish Blueberry Pie). This month we’re traveling to Finland on the “Eat The World” train. Mustikkapiirakka is an iconic dessert that can be found in almost every cafe or restaurant in Finland. Not a pie in the sense we know it, Mustikkapiirakka is a cross between a pie, a tart, and a cheesecake.

Song of the day: Sweet Disposition – The Temper Trap

Mustikkapiirakka. A difficult name to pronounce, but very easy to remember once you try it. With a crumbly base made with a combination of rye flour and all-purpose flour, and a luscious sour cream and blueberry filling, this Finnish Blueberry Pie will become your go-to summer dessert.

Zucchini Lemon Loaf with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing

Nicoletta July 3, 2019

Zucchini Lemon Loaf with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing, just in case you need a different recipe to use up the abundance of zucchini this time of the year. A fragrant, moist loaf, easy to make and delectable to eat, either in the morning or as a snack, or dessert. The beautiful crumb is speckled with grated zucchini and perfumed with lemon juice and zest. A luscious and tangy lemon cream cheese icing compliments the cake and adds some pizzazz.

Song of the Day: Unbelievable – Why Don’t We

The first time I had a slice of Zucchini Lemon Loaf was years ago, here in Canada, and it was one of my mother-in-law’s specialties.

The Essence of Brunch…………

Sweet and Sour Meatballs (and a cookbook review)

Loreto June 19, 2019

Sweet and Sour Meatballs (and a cookbook review). I am so happy that we had the opportunity to get to review this wonderful cookbook “The Prairie Table” by Karlynn Johnston, filled with great stories and colorful photos that take you on a journey of a time when gathering and family dinner was not an option but a norm. The recipe we chose to make is wonderfully delicious, very easy to prepare, and for me a great hit in the texture and flavor profile.

Song of the day: “So Happy Together” by The Turtles.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs (and a cookbook review). Sweet, sour, and so juicy, these meatballs are the perfect small plate to start a meal. The kids will love the ease of eating these plump full of flavor morsels and even the adults may go for seconds and thirds. Karlynn’s passion to re-ignite a time when dinner was a time together is one that is dear to my heart also, and a book full of family recipes is a real bonus!
