A couple’s diary in a bustling kitchen

One of my go to recipes is usually a stir fry. I love the simplicity of it especially when Nicoletta has all the veggies cut and prepped😁. Also love the way it preserves the freshness, texture and flavor of the veggies!😋
.
Another great thing about stir-fry is that it is a great way to use up some veggies in the crisper.
.
Nicoletta and I 💏 had a wonderful time eating in our backyard, munching away at the lovely flavor of this Summer Vegetable Medley Stir-fry with Peanuts and Hoisin Oyster Soy Sauce on a bed of crispy fried udon noodles and with crispy kale on the side.
.
Needless to say we enjoyed it and was devoured with a glass of chilled white wine. Even the next day fried up in the wok was fantastic!😋😍❤
.
Do you have some veggies lingering in the fridge? Why not make tonight stir-fry night!🥢!

Happy Monday! 🙋‍♀️

In Canada, it is a long weekend so I am enjoying an extra day with my husband.💑

After a few sunny hot days🌞 when it finally felt like summer, today it is cloudy☁️, and I hear thunders⚡ in the distance.

Is there a better time to bake a galette than a stormy long weekend Monday?😁

I had the other half of the pie dough and plenty of blueberries still to utilize. So, here it is, my blueberry galette of the season.

Since I didn't take enough pictures to make a blog post, I am sharing the pie dough recipe with you here.

I am getting lazy and I am blaming it on my frozen shoulder.

How is your Monday going so far? 😊
📌
Pie crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rye flour
1 Tbsp cane sugar
1/2 tsp salt
170 g unsalted butter, cold, cubed
65 g vegetable shortening
1/2 cup ice-cold water

I divided the dough in two: I used half to make my mixed berry pie with hearts on top, froze the other half, then used it to make this blueberry galette.

Today I am sharing something very special!❤

It is one of my fathers most requested and favorite dishes that he used to prepare.

Are you baking a lot of pies this summer? Actua

Are you baking a lot of pies this summer?

Actually, this was my first pie since I was back in Canada. I chose to make a mixed berry pie because there are so many amazing berries this time of the year! 🤩
I mixed haskaps, raspberries, and blueberries, then I added fresh rhubarb and ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, muscovado sugar and tapioca starch.

The crust is made with a mix of all-purpose flour and rye flour, so it is darker and more tender.

I felt like hearts💜 and stars⭐, no lattice to imprison the fruit. I brushed the top with egg wash and sprinkled vanilla sugar.

It was tart and only slightly sweet and very juicy. 😋
Maybe I am not a good pie maker because I tend to make a juicy filling and my slices are not neat and tidy. They are only pretty good! 😉

What can I do, I don't like the flavor and texture of fillings that have too much thickener. How do you like yours?
🥰
Happy last day of July, tomorrow is already August. Time flies when you're having fun 😊.

Most just reheat their leftover spaghetti, but not us !😁 In true Italian fashion we use it in a frittata!😋
That's right you heard it right! A frittata made with leftover spaghetti in tomato sauce!👌
.
It is so delicious as that spaghetti gets all crispy nestled in the soft folds of the egg all flavored up with melted Parmigiano!
.
Need a napkin yet or maybe a fork?😄
.
It's easy, throw some olive oil in a pan, season up some eggs and whisk in a bowl. Toss spaghetti into pan, get them all crispy and caramelized then pour in egg and let cook bottom side.
.
At this point you have to be daring and take a plate put it over top of the pan then do the flip and slide back into the pan.
.
Either two things can happen: you will be enjoying a delicious dish, or your dog will be enjoying it on the floor, lol.
.
All kidding aside, it is a wonderful lunch and I am sure you will knock it out of the park!

New on the blog❗ Blueberry Rhubarb Yogurt Muffin

New on the blog❗
Blueberry Rhubarb Yogurt Muffins with Spelt Flour.
Luckily for us, we have a couple muffins left in the freezer and now you can make some too🤩😋.
.
Summer🌞 is in full swing and this means plenty of berries to bake with. Our garden is still producing rhubarb, so I decided to mix blueberries and rhubarb to make these delectable muffins.
The choice was spot-on! 👌
Blueberries and rhubarb are a match made to impress.🥰
These muffins are light and tender, mildly sweet and lovely tart with a hint of nuttiness from the spelt flour.
The perfect mix of #wholesome and #delicious .
Hope you give these a try. You will love them as much as we do😍!
