Summer Dessert: Classic Hot Fudge Sundae

Blossom Lady

Jul 22, 2020 01:05 AM

You’ll be amazed at the difference homemade hot fudge sauce and freshly whipped cream make. This sauce is absolutely amazing, just like the kind you get in an ice cream parlor and much better than the typical supermarket versions. It takes only about 5 minutes to make. So take the ice cream out of the freezer before you start, and by the time you’ve made the sauce and whipped the cream, the ice cream will be optimally soft and scoopable. Once you have everything ready, assemble the sundaes quickly so you c...

Old-fashioned Iceberg Wedges With Luxurious Blue Cheese Dressing

Blossom Lady

Jul 21, 2020 08:46 AM

Once upon a time, iceberg lettuce was the only salad green on most American dinner plates. Then for years it seemed to have been banished from all venues except for low-end salad bars and Mexican combo platters. But even though more fashionable species of deeper-hued, smaller, shapelier salad greens replaced it in discriminating culinary circles, in recent years iceberg has made a major comeback as the uber-cool wedge, its mildness offset with a big-flavored blue cheese dressing. It’s nice to serve this on...

Ricotta & Spinach Gnocchi With Parmesan Cream Sauce

Blossom Lady

Jul 19, 2020 04:56 AM

The problem with homemade classic gnocchi can be with choosing the perfect potatoes, I know. And even a hint of too much flour can easily make them heavy instead of light little dumplings. So what is the secret of soft and light gnocchi? Just skip the potatoes and use ricotta instead! Not only is the outcome much easier to control, the whole recipe is so much easier, quicker and healthier. Children love these gnocchi. Ingredients 450 g fresh spinach, well rinsed or 280 g frozen spinach 280 g ricotta, ...

Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

Blossom Lady

Jul 16, 2020 07:23 AM

Teriyaki is a versatile Japanese sweet and savory sauce. It is perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes and adds a burst of flavor and shine to these baked teriyaki chicken thighs. Chicken teriyaki is about as easy as whisking together a quick no-cook sauce, pouring it over some chicken in a pan, and sliding it in the oven. The chicken comes out juicy and moist, with a beautiful mahogany glaze. Don’t worry about overcooking these. With all the sauce surrounding them, they’ll just get more and more tend...

Cherry Jam Tart + Sweet Pastry Recipe for Pies and Tarts

Blossom Lady

Jul 15, 2020 09:15 AM

If I had to choose a fruit dessert over chocolate, fruit would win every time. I love the fresh, bright taste fruit gives to recipes and how different varieties can vary so much in their flavor. Whenever there is an outing or a country lunch or a big family dinner, you can count on the Italians’ most loved dolce, or sweet, being present. Wild cherries can be found everywhere in this time of the year, and the marmalade made from them is a must for this delicious cherry jam tart. Using cherry preserves rea...

Wilted Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese, Hazelnuts, and Raisins

Blossom Lady

Jul 14, 2020 08:06 AM

In summer, it’s a great idea to up your vitamin intake by serving more leafy greens and vegetables. This wilted spinach salad is rich in vitamins and flavor thanks to toasted hazelnuts, goat cheese, golden raisins and a balsamic vinegar dressing. Wilting fresh spinach leaves just slightly is a really nice alternative to serving them utterly raw. Here, the wilting is done by dressing the leaves with heated oil, which cooks them slightly upon contact, tenderizing them perfectly. The oil is spiked with garli...

Black Bean Burger

Blossom Lady

Jul 13, 2020 05:54 AM

No, not the Texas-style bean burger, which is a beef burger smothered in refried beans, tortilla chips, and Cheez Whiz. This is a literal bean burger made from actual beans. Far from tasting like bland hippie food from the ’70s, these are full of assertive flavor, creamy on the inside and wonderfully crisp on the outside. The batter is quite soft, so you’ll need to form the patties directly in the pan, using a spoon to keep things neat and intact. To save on cleanup, use the same skillet for sautéing the o...

Homemade Healthy Nutella

Blossom Lady

Jul 08, 2020 04:44 AM

I am crazy for the taste of Nutella, but if you buy a jar and read the ingredients, you’ll see it is not exactly a healthy product. However, this homemade version tastes better than store-bought and there is not one single bad-for-you ingredient! The benefit of making things like homemade Nutella from scratch is that you can control what goes in it. So if you want to make it vegan, use vegan chocolate. If you want organic Nutella, use organic ingredients. Want is less sweet? Use dark chocolate and reduce ...
