sausage and kale soup
My good friend Erin Summerill, likes to drag me to the Olive Garden, or the OG, as she calls it. She seems to have a never ending supply of coupons to that place. Though I prefer other restaurants in town, like Pizzeria 712, I do like their soup with the sausage and kale, which they call "Zuppa Toscana." Erin often makes it at home. I thought it was about time for another copycat recipe, don't you? If you haven't guessed by now, the cookbook has me completely swamped. If I'm not up to my chin in flour and powdered sugar, I ...
coeur à la crème with balsamic strawberries
I've always wanted to make one of these. Isn't it beautiful? I saw Martha Stewart make one once, and then Ina Garten made one on her show. When Gojee.com invited me to a virtual potluck, I knew I had to share one. A coeur à la crème (french for "cream heart") is basically cream cheese, cream, and sugar, whipped together, placed in a cheese cloth inside a mold of some kind, and then left to drain overnight. Once you have one of these coeur à la crème molds, or even a strainer, it's one of the easiest, most decadent desserts you'll ...
salted caramel squares
Have you tried those salted caramel squares at Starbucks yet? Whenever I get a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate or a Caramel Apple Cider, I always buy a salted caramel square, too. They're tiny little pieces of joy. And I love them. It's quite often that I want one, but I'm not near a Starbucks. I do live in Utah, after all. One Sunday afternoon last fall, my next door neighbor gave us a jar of caramel. I knew that was the day I would figure out how to make those caramel squares. Though I'm no stranger to eating homemade caramel out of a jar ...
mascarpone passionfruit fool
Since today is my birthday, I thought it was only fitting that I should post an incredibly easy, incredibly indulgent recipe. Awhile back, when I saw my favorite grocery store was selling passionfruit, I bought up as many as I could afford. Just so I could have them. They're usually quite tricky to find, and I didn't want the opportunity of having some pass me by. But have you ever bought something wonderful at the store, and then found yourself with stage fright---staring at it, without a clue how to make it shine? The first few fruits, I just cut open, ...
