Encapsulating the essence of summer, these delectable treats are a symphony of sweet and tangy notes, expertly rolled in layers of flaky, buttery pastry. I love all things pastry and these are no exception. I do not often make these as I so love the homemade pastry dough. However, I do not often have the foresite to have made it ahead of time. So, tip to you about this recipe if you want to have a go at making your own pastry dough - plan ahead at least one day or make your pastry dough and freeze it so that you always have one at the ready. If you are like me and forget and still want to make this recipe, store-bought dough will do as well.

This is my favorite pastry dough recipe, and I use it for all of my homemade Viennoiseries. Please note that the preparation time does not include chill time for the dough (approximately 5 hours). As mentioned before, if you do not have the time or would rather a quicker solution, you can also substitute the pastry dough with store-bought. As you embark on a culinary journey with each bite of these special pastries, the burst of juicy blueberries mingles seamlessly with the zesty brightness of lemon, creating a sensory experience that is both comforting and invigorating. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast indulgence, a luxurious dessert, or a delightful anytime snack, these Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Pastry Rolls are a testament to the artistry of flavors, offering a slice of edible bliss that's sure to leave an indelible impression. What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients Pastry Dough: 1/4 cup Water (warm) 2 1/2 teaspoon fast acting Yeast 1/2 cup Milk (warm) 1 Egg 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar 1 teaspoon Salt 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter 2 1/2 cups Flour Cream Cheese Filling: 1 cup Cream Cheese 1 Egg Yolk 1 cup Blueberries (Fresh or Frozen) 1/3 cup Honey 1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Lemon Rind (1 lemon) Egg Wash: 1 Egg 1 Tablespoon of Water Pinch of Sugar and Salt Toppings: (optional) Drizzle of Honey Drizzle of Maple Syrup Drizzle of sugar frosting Dollop of Whipped Cream Preparation In order to make the perfect pastry you need the perfect pastry dough. The tricky part about this dough is that it needs time to chill, infact it needs time to chill twice. I suggest making it the day before you want to try this recipe or just make sure you leave yourself enough time. If you do not have the time to wait for chilling, store bought pastry dough will also do the trick (but in my opinion homemade dough tops any store-bought if you have the option). Making the Pastry Dough: In a bowl, combine warm water and fast-acting yeast. Allow the yeast to activate for about 5-10 minutes , or until it becomes frothy. (Tip: If your yeast mixture does not froth after 15 minutes, you may need to start again by making sure your water was warm enough or that your yeast has not expired) In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, egg, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined. Add in the yeast mixture and stir until combined. In a food processor, add your chilled butter and flour and pulse until you acheive a sand-like consistency. Do not over pulse! The butter chunks is what will make your pastry so nice and flaky! Gradually add the butter-flour mixure to the liquid mixture, mixing until everything comes together to form a consistent dough. Again, do not over mix! Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 4 hours (or overnight). Once the dough has chilled for a minimum of 4 hours, it is time to do the first roll. On a well floured surface, roll out your dough into a rectangle that is about 3-4mm thick with rolling pin. Once rolled smooth fold each end towards the middle. Roll out again. Repeat this step three times. Wrap in cling wrap and return it to the fridge to chill for another hour or two. In the meantime, prepare the blueberry lemon cream cheese filling. To make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon rind. Mix until the filling is well combined and smooth. In a small sauce pan, heat up your blueberries, honey and lemon juice. Cook stiring often, until the blueberries soften and release some juice. Let this mixture cool. Add the blueberry mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir until well combined. Assembly and Baking: Once the dough has been chilled and your cream cheese mixture is ready, you can now assemble your rolls. Roll out your dough one last time and do a final fold and roll. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a floured surface, roll out the pastry dough into a rectangle of approximately 12x16 inches and 3mm thick. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle any extra blueberries over the cream cheese filling if you wish. Starting from the longer edge, gently roll the dough into a tight-ish log, similar to a cinnamon roll. This will be a messy stage, but just trust the process and do the best you can. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the rolled log into slices, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Tip: If you find the dough a little too soft and that it is getting hard to cut or manipulate. Simply put it back in the fridge to chill for 20-30 minutes. Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll for rising. Using a pastry brush, brush the top and sides of the pastries with egg wash before placing them in the oven. ** Make the wash by beating together the egg, water, sugar and salt in a small bowl. Bake the pastry rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes , or until they are golden brown and the filling is set. Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Optionally, drizzle with additional toppings for extra flavor (see suggestions in the ingredient section). Serve the Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Pastry Rolls warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors. Recipe Card Previous Next

Crunchy chocolate shortbread cookie sandwiches with creamy raspberry-mint filling. < Back Chocolate Shortbread Cookies with Raspberry Mint Cream Cheese Filling Prep Time: 45 minutes Cook Time: 12 Minutes Serves: 30 Cookie Sandwiches About the Recipe If you're looking for a delicious treat to satisfy your sweet tooth, look no further than this recipe for chocolate shortbread cookie sandwiches with raspberry-mint cream cheese filling. These cookies are the perfect balance of rich chocolate and tangy raspberry, with a refreshing hint of mint to top it all off. The creamy, smooth texture of the cream cheese filling pairs perfectly with the crisp, buttery shortbread cookies, making for a truly unforgettable dessert experience. Whether you're looking for a quick snack, an indulgent dessert, or a crowd-pleasing party treat, these cookie sandwiches are sure to be a hit. So fire up your oven, grab your ingredients, and get ready to indulge in a little bit of chocolatey, raspberry-filled heaven. What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients Cookies : 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder 3 oz (3 squares) Semi-Sweet Chocolate (melted) 1 teaspoon Baking Powder 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda 1/2 teaspoon Salt 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter (softened) 1/4 cup Brown Sugar 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Filling : 1 cup Cream Cheese 2 cups Icing Sugar 1 - 1 1/2 cups Raspberries (Fresh or Frozen) 1/4 cup Mint Leaves (about 40 leaves) Preparation Start by mixing together your dry ingredients. In a large bowl add your flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. I like to use a wire whisk to make sure that everything is well blended and that there aren't any lumps. You can also use a wire sieve to make sure your mixture is smooth. In a second bowl, use a hand mixer to mix together your softened butter, sugars, egg and vanilla. Mix for a few minutes until you have a smooth creamy mixture. Next, chop up your chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted. Don't over microwave, you do not want to burn the chocolate. Once it is 90% melted, stirring should help to melt any smaller bits that are left. Add the melted chocolate to your butter mixture and mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Slowly add your flour mixture to your chocolatey butter mixture. I usually do about half a cup at a time and mix after every addition, to make sure that everything is well incorporated. Once you have finished adding everything together, you should be left with a thick chocolate paste-like dough. Roll the dough into a log (about 7cm in diameter) and wrap with cling wrap. Place the log into the fridge and let cool for a minimum of 30 minutes or until firm. Once the dough has cooled, remove from the fridge and cut into slices (about 5mm thick). You can either keep the cookies as round slices or use a cookie cutter to cut the slices into shapes. For this particular recipe, I used a flowery cookie cutter to give the edges a bit of a scalloped look. If you do want to use cookie cutters, make sure to flour your work surface a bit so that the dough does not stick. Preheat oven to 350F . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Lay the cookies out onto the prepared baking sheet. You can put them pretty close together as the cookies will not grow much during baking. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are baked through. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transfering to a wire cooling rack. While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. In a small saucepan, heat up your raspberries on medium heat until they become soft and you are able to mush them into a saucy paste (about 5-7 minutes ). Use a sieve to strain the raspberries keeping the juice (we are wanting to get rid of the seeds). Use a bowl and hand mixer, or a food processor to blend together the cream cheese, icing sugar, and mint leaves. (If you are using a hand mixer, finely chop the mint leaves first, if you are using a food processor you can add the whole leaves, they will get chopped during mixing). Slowly add a tablespoon at a time of the raspberry juice until you acheive a thick creamy filling. If you think the mixture is a little too soft, add a bit more sugar or cream cheese to thicken. If too thick keep adding raspberry juice. You want the consistency to be thick but spreadable. Refrigerate filling for 30 minutes . Once the filling has set, use a knife to spread a bit of filling onto a chocolate cookie and use another cookie to make a sandwich. I love this recipe because it makes a huge batch of cookies. Great for those times you are hoping to give some away! Store in a cool dry place. Enjoy! Recipe Card Previous Next

Decadent chocolate mousse layered with nutty praline, raspberries and whipped cream. < Back Chocolate Mousse with Praline Crumble Prep Time: 20 Minutes Cook Time: 4-6 hrs Chill Time Serves: 6 Servings About the Recipe Chocolate mousse has to be one of my all time favorite desserts. Whether it is served as part of a filling of a cake or cookie or just served straight, I will never give up a chance to savor a good mousse. To me, a good mousse has to have the right balance of moussy-ness ( I know, not a "proper"word) and density. I am not a big fan of anything too fluffy. It has to be both soft and thick at the same time. A staple in the dessert world, you'll find all kinds of mousse combinations out there. I have to say hands down, that the combination of fresh raspberries and chocolate mousse cannot be beat. There is just something about the fresh tart flavor of raspberries, mixed with the rich smooth chocolate of the mousse. It is truly a perfect pairing. When I was growing up, chocolate mousse was our staple New Years Eve dessert. My mother would prepare this wonderful recipe of chocolate mousse and pears (also wonderfully delicious and something I highly recommend trying. Perhaps a recipe for another time). This year, was no exception. I had to keep traditions alive and make my own version for this years holiday. What I love about this dessert is that it is super simple to make. It requires few ingredients and doesn't require any fancy kitchen machinery. A hand mixer, a few bowls and a spatula will do the job. You don't even need to "bain-marie" your chocolate. Just melt it in the microwave and it will be just perfect. The only small requirement, is that you leave yourself enough time to be able to chill it for enough time. So as long as you plan ahead a little, it is easy-peasy. If you want to recreate this exact recipe you will also need to prepare the Praline ahead of time. Also very simple to make and worth the extra step. It just adds a little extra touch to this already delicious dessert. You can find the link for the praline by clicking on the link in the ingredients list, or at the bottom of the recipe card. Let me know if you try it and what you think! I hope you enjoy! What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients 3 eggs (separated) 6-8 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter 1 cup Whipping Cream 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar 1/2 Teaspoon Cream of Tartar 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1/2 cup of Praline 1 cup Fresh Raspberries Preparation Start off by finely chopping your praline and chocolate. Chopping up the chocolate will help melt it faster. Place your chopped chocolate into a microwaveable bowl along with the 3 tablespoons of butter and pop it in the microwave for 1 minute , stirring the mixture half way through. If the chocolate is not completely melted keep microwaving 15 seconds at a time until your chocolate has become nice and silky smooth (stirring at each interval). Tip: To make sure you do not risk over cooking your chocolate and burning it, remove it from the microwave when you have little chunks left and just keep stirring. The left over chunks will melt in the rest of the already melted chocolate. Meanwhile, use two medium bowls to separate your eggs. To the egg yolks, add the sugar and beat until you have a nice creamy mixture. Making sure your beaters are clean, next beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the cream of tartar and beat again until well incorporated and the peaks are glossy smooth. In a large bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff. Set half aside for the decorating . With a spatula, fold the egg yolk mixture into the remaining whipped cream. Be patient and keep folding, do not be tempted to mix. This will keep your mousse nice and fluffy. Next, fold in the chocolate mixture. Make sure to keep folding until everything is smooth and well incorporated. Once you have a nice consistency, fold in your egg whites. Again, be gentle and patient and just keep folding. You'll get there, I promise! Once you have a nice smooth chocolatey mixture, it is time to prepare your bowls. I like using small bowls, like the size of a ramekin. But, you can also use an old jam jar, or stemless wine glass. It is up to you how you would like to present it. First, sprinkle the bottom of your bowl with a layer of praline. Next add a layer of crumbled raspberries. Top with a layer of chocolate mousse. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours . Once the chocolate mousse has been chilled prepare it for serving. Add a dollop of the reserved whipped cream on top and sprinkle with praline and more raspberries. Serve and enjoy!

They are so easy to make, you will want this to be a part of your weekly routine.

To top this salad off and bring all the flavors together I added my Parsley-Almond Vinaigrette. I just love adding nuts to my salads and vinaigrettes. They add a lovely texture and crunch and creamy flavor. I add all the ingredients to a mini blender and blend until I reach my desired consistency. I love it when it is still slightly chunky so that you can get bites of almonds and parsley. Plate your veggies and egg and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle any leftover parsley ontop. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy! Recipe Card Previous Next

So go ahead, elevate your meals to new heights with this tantalizing Lemon Aioli – a taste sensation you won't soon forget. What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients 1 Egg 1 teaspoon Mustard Maggi Seasoning to taste (see blog for alternatives) Aromat Seasoning to taste (see blog for alternatives) Lemon Juice from half a lemon Zest from half a lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (approximately 3/4 cup - 1 cup) Preparation This aioli is so simple to make and tastes so delicious you'll want to make it as a condiment for every summer meal. So good as part of the barbeque spread or as a dipping sauce for appetizers. You'll want to be sure to make a bit extra as I can guarantee seconds will want to be had. All you need is a blender. Add the egg, mustard, lemon juice, Maggi and Aromat to the blender. Tip: Both Maggi and Aromat can be a little tricky to find and aren't available everywhere. Maggi is most often found in the same aisles as Soy Sauce. If you don't have Maggi seasoning on hand, there are a few substitutes you can use to achieve a similar flavor profile. Here are some options : Soy Sauce: Soy sauce can be a suitable replacement for Maggi seasoning as it provides a savory and umami taste. However, keep in mind that soy sauce has a stronger flavor, so you may need to use it sparingly and adjust the quantity according to your taste. Worcestershire Sauce: Worcestershire sauce can be used as a substitute for Maggi seasoning due to its complex flavor profile, which includes tangy, savory, and slightly sweet notes. It can add depth and richness to your dish, much like Maggi seasoning. Liquid Aminos: Liquid aminos, such as Bragg's Liquid Aminos, can be an alternative to Maggi seasoning. It is made from soybeans and provides a savory and slightly salty taste. However, like soy sauce, it has a strong flavor, so use it judiciously. Tamari Sauce: Tamari sauce, which is a gluten-free soy sauce, can also be used as a substitute for Maggi seasoning. It offers a rich, savory taste and can add depth of flavor to your dishes.When using any of these substitutes, start with a smaller amount and adjust to your preference, as the flavor intensity may vary. Same goes for Aromat. If you don't have Aromat seasoning available, there are a few alternatives that can provide a similar flavor profile. Here are some options : Seasoned Salt: Seasoned salt blends, such as Lawry's Seasoned Salt or any other brand, can be a suitable replacement for Aromat seasoning. They typically contain a mix of salt, herbs, spices, and sometimes monosodium glutamate (MSG), which can add savory and flavorful notes to your dish. Garlic Salt: Garlic salt, which is a combination of salt and garlic powder, can be used as a substitute for Aromat seasoning if you enjoy the garlic flavor. It adds a savory and garlicky taste to your dishes, enhancing their overall flavor. All-Purpose Seasoning: All-purpose seasoning blends, like Mrs. Dash or similar brands, can be a versatile replacement for Aromat seasoning. These blends usually contain a mix of herbs, spices, and sometimes salt, providing a well-rounded and flavorful seasoning option. Onion Powder and Salt: If you enjoy the onion flavor in your dishes, combining onion powder and salt can help replicate some of the flavor profile of Aromat seasoning. It will add a savory and slightly onion-like taste to your recipes. Remember, the exact flavor of Aromat seasoning may not be replicated perfectly with these substitutes, but they can provide a similar overall seasoning effect. Adjust the quantities according to your taste preferences and the specific recipe you're using. Blend the ingredients and slowly add in the oil. Make sure to add the oil slowly and to stop from time to time to check the consistency of the aioli. Stop adding the oil once you have achieved the desired thickness. I like mine slightly less dense than store bought mayo. Once you are satisfied with the consistency, fold in the lemon zest. As mentioned above, my favorite pairing with this aioli are artichokes and asparagus. However, other veggies work great too. Or why not give it a try with roasted potatoes? Don't be afraid to add your own twist and enjoy! Recipe Card Previous Next

Baguette topped with cheese, sautéed oyster mushrooms and pancetta. < Back Mushroom and Cheese Baguette Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 17 Minutes Serves: 2-4 Servings About the Recipe Hello to all my fellow mushroom fans! This recipe is for you! Even you non-fungi fans might want to give this a try, it may just be the recipe to change your mind. Never say never I say! This recipe came to be because, my brother and sister-in-law gifted my girls these absolutely amazing mushroom farms for Christmas this year. Basically it is a box with what looks like a block of dirt inside which are inoculated with mushroom mycelium. You spray it to keep it moist and within a few days you see the start to sprouting mushrooms. We had one box of pink oyster mushrooms and an other of blue oyster mushrooms. The kids had such a great time taking care and growing their mushrooms and I had a great time dreaming up what I was going to be doing with them once we could harvest them. The really great part about these little mushroom farms is that they do not need to be outdoors. So if you live in a wintery climate like I do, it is a real treat to be able to grow some fresh produce when it is -15C outside! Not only that, they are really pretty and are definitely conversation pieces, after all, how often do you see mushrooms being grown in someone's kitchen? Now although I used oyster mushrooms and Oka cheese, which I know are two things that are not necessarily readily available everywhere, this recipe can be made with substitutions. I would suggest a meaty type of mushroom and a cheese with some flavor. It is a pretty easy recipe to throw together and makes for a fantastic healthy lunch! Bon appétit! What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients 2-3 cups Oyster Mushrooms 1 Yellow Onion (finely chopped) 1 Garlic Clove (minced) 2 tablespoons Butter 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Pinch of Chili Flakes (optional) 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar Bunch of Fresh Parsley (chopped) 1/3 cup cubed Pancetta Salt and Pepper to taste 4-6 slices of Oka Cheese (find substitutes in the blog below) 1 Baguette (toasted) Preparation First off, I want to say that you do not have to have oyster mushrooms for this recipe. I used them because that is what I had on hand but this recipe will work great with any kind of mushroom. I have used cremini mushrooms, chanterelles or portobello. Feel free to mix and match to your taste. Start by preparing your mushrooms. Wipe them down with a dry cloth. Try not to wash or wet them too much as mushrooms really soak up the moisture and if too wet won't crisp up when sautéing. Cut them into bite sized chunks. Mince your garlic and finely chop your onion. Roughly chop your parsley leaves and stems. In a pan, heat up your butter with a tablespoon on Olive Oil on medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add your garlic and onion and sauté 2-3 minutes until starting to soften and become fragrant. Add in your mushrooms and sauté until wilted and golden brown ( 6-8 minutes ). Add a pinch of chili flakes (this is optional, you can leave them out if you prefer to not have any spice). Add in the parsley sautéing for another 1-2 minutes . Add in the apple cider vinegar giving it a good mix and cooking for another minute . Add Salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl and use the same pan to cook your pancetta. Cook your pancetta until it is starting to crispen (think bacon). Add your mushrooms back to the pan with the pancetta and stir everything around and cook for another minute . In the meantime, cut your baguette into 10-12cm long pieces and cut those down the center to create your open faced sandwich. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper of a silicone mat and place your baguette pieces cut side up onto the baking sheet. Put a couple of Oka cheese slices on top of the baguette and pop into the oven and broil for approximately 2 minutes or so, or until the cheese has melted and the sides of the baguette are starting to get a bit toasted (keep a good eye on them as broiling tends to go fast, you don't want it to burn)! If you cannot find Oka, as I know it is not available everywhere outside of Quebec, you can replace it with Gouda, Raclette, or Gruyère cheese. I just prefer using a cheese with a bit of a flavor punch. Once you've gotten the cheese all ooey-gooey you're ready to shovel on the mushrooms. I leave it up to you to choose how much to put. You can top off the entire piece of baguette or go one bite at a time. Really hope you enjoy this meal as much as I did. Let me know! Recipe Card Previous Next

A harmonious explosion of citrusy and fruity flavors in every delightful bite. < Back Lemon Scones with Strawberry Cream Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 10-15 minutes Serves: 9 Scones About the Recipe Indulge in a culinary delight that marries the refreshing zest of lemons with the delightful allure of strawberries—my recipe for delectable Lemon Scones with Strawberry Cream. Prepare to embark on a tantalizing journey of flavors and textures as the buttery, flaky scones melt in your mouth, releasing bursts of tangy lemon throughout. Paired with a velvety strawberry cream, this delightful treat will transport your taste buds to a realm of pure bliss. Whether enjoyed for a cozy breakfast, a leisurely afternoon tea, or a delightful dessert, these scones are sure to captivate your senses and leave you craving for more. So, get ready to embark on a delightful baking adventure and discover the magic of this irresistible flavor combination! What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients Scones: 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar 1 tablespoon Baking Powder 1/2 teaspoon Salt 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter (chilled and cubed) 1 Egg 1/2 cup Milk +2 tablespoons for wash 1/4 cup Heavy Cream 2 Lemons (zested) 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract Pearl Sugar for decorating (optional) Strawberry Cream: 1 cup Whipping Cream (whipped) 1 cup Fresh Strawberries 1-2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Preparation In a large mixing bowl, begin by combining the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a whisk, mix until well blended. Next, add in the chilled butter. Cut the butter into tablespoon sized cubes. (The trick here is to use butter that is really chilled - not room temperature. This will ensure the fluffiest of scones). Use your hands to incorporate the butter into the flour mixture. Pinch and squeeze the butter through the dry ingredients until you achieve a lumpy sand-like consistency. Do not over kneed!! You want it still to be a dry crumbly mixture. In a seperate bowl, mix together your wet ingredients. With a whisk, mix together the milk, cream, vanilla and egg until everything is well blended. Now incorporate the lemon rind into the milk mixture. Mix with the whisk again until the rind is well distributed. Add the wet ingredients to the dry using a rubber spatula to fold everything together. Again, it is important not to over mix. You want a kind of loose, slightly crumbly dough that just holds it's shape together. Next, flour your work surface generously. With a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough in a circular or rectagular shape. What is important is the thickness you leave the dough and that you do not want to over work or over roll the dough. You will end up doing it in batches. Roll out the dough on the first round until it is about 4cm thick (1 1/2 inches). Then use a round cookie cutter (about 7-8cm in diameter) to gently cut out round circles. Place the cut circles onto a lined baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 425F . As your oven heats up, you can finish cutting out the rest of your scones. Gently gathering the remaining dough after each round of cookie cutting and putting it back together to roll it out once more. Tip: Something I learned a few years ago is that you want to place your scones closely together on the baking sheet, not leaving too much space inbetween each (not like cookies). This will force the scones to rise upwards instead of outwards during the baking process, giving you nice tall scones, ready to fill! Brush the scones with a bit of milk before baking and if so desired, a sprinkle of pearl sugar. Bake the scones for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. While the scones are baking, prepare the strawberry cream. In a blender, combine your fresh strawberries, lemon juice and sugar. Blend until it is puréed. In a seperate bowl, use a handmixer to whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add your strawberry mixture to the whipped cream and gently fold in until well incorporated. Serve with your freshly baked scones. Bon ap! Recipe Card Previous Next

It's fun, it's festive, and you can make it your own. A guaranteed show stopper of a cake. < Back Lemon-Lime Jell-O Party Cake Prep Time: 15 Minutes Cook Time: 15 Minutes Serves: 15-18 Servings About the Recipe So, after my experience in making Aspic, my daughters asked me to make them something Jell-O-y as well. Having now worked with gelatin powder and the magic of layering Jell-O, I thought it would be a fun idea to make a Jell-O cake with "Belly Button" gummy candies. I wanted the Jell-O to be as clear as possible so that you could really see the gummies inside. It turned out as I hoped it would and my daughters loved it! This fun cake is a delightful blend of tart and sweet and bursting with fun. What makes this Jell-O cake truly special is that the Jell-O is homemade from fresh lemon and lime juice, sugar, water, and gelatin powder. I wanted to enjoy the pure and natural flavors of the fruits without any without it being too sweet (after all, the gummies would take care of that part). I really wanted the gummies to be like colorful polka dots throughout, that is why I opted for Belly Buttons. These little bursts of fruity sweetness add a fun and playful element to the cake that is sure to delight both kids and adults alike. So easy to put your own twist on it. Change up the Jell-O flavor and the gummies. Perfect for a custom dessert to match a party theme or make someone smile with their favorite candy. So if you're looking for a unique and refreshing dessert that is easy to make and bursting with flavor, look no further than this homemade Jell-O cake. What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients 1/2 cup Lemon Juice 1/2 cup Lime Juice 1 cup Granulated Sugar 9 cups Water 4 1/2 Packs (31.5g) Gelatin Powder 2 drops Red Food Coloring (optional) 2 cups Gummies ( Belly Buttons ) Preparation This recipe is so easy to make, it requires very little ingredients, but does require a bit of time and patience if you want to get the layers right. Learning my Jell-O layering technique from making Aspic , this one was fun and easy! I suggest using a silicone mold, as this will make it easier to remove the cake after it has been set and cooled. Start by making the Jell-O. In a large saucepan, heat the sugar, lemon juice, lime juice and 8 cups of water. Heat untill all the sugar has desolved. In a separate bowl, disolve the gelatin powder in the remaining cup of water. Remove the Lemon-Lime syrup from the heat and stir in the gelatin mixture. Add drops of food coloring if you so desire. Prepare your mold by greasing the inside with a little bit of oil (don't over do it, just a little to help with sliding out the Jell-O cake once it is set). Now the fun part. Layering the gummies. Start by pouring a layer of Jell-O into your mold. This will be the top of the cake. You want it smooth with no lumps from candy, so that is why I suggest you make a smooth layer of Jell-O first. Place your mold in the frige and let this first layer set (approx. 20 mins). When the Jell-O has set, remove from the fridge and start adding some gummies. I like to space mine out so they look sprinkled in, but you can do rows if you prefer. (Keep in mind that the gummies will grow a bit inside the Jell-O, so space them apart a bit). After adding a layer of gummies, carefully pour another layer of Jell-O over top. If your gummies float around a little, don't worry, you can always push them around and place them back once you settle your mold down in the fridge before setting the Jell-O. Continue this layering process until your cake is complete. Let the cake cool and set overnight in the fridge. When it is set and ready to serve, dip the bottom of your mold into warm water for 5 seconds. This will help to release the cake from the mold more easily. Flip the mold onto your serving plate and carefully remove the cake from the mold. Hope you enjoy it as much as my kids did! Recipe Card Previous Next

This incredibly delicious salad is hearty and full of flavor. Mixing tones of veg with pops of sweetness. < Back Kale and Quinoa Salad Prep Time: 20 Minutes Cook Time: 20 Minutes Serves: 6 Servings About the Recipe Years ago, when kale first came onto the scene as the trendy superfood, sometime in the 2000s, I didn't quite understand the allure. It seemed like a prehistoric spinach of sorts, and looked as though it would take me all day to chew through one leaf. Especially since everyone kept saying how it was best to massage the hearty leaves before using them to tenderize them and make them easier to chew. If anyone needed a massage, it was me, not my salad. Taking a mental note of the ingredients, this is my take on it. Crunchy, juicy, sweet and filling. I always make a huge bowl of it so that I can enjoy it throughout the week. This salad is super simple to make and is packed with nutrition. Along side the kale it has fluffy quinoa, carrots, feta and surprise bursts of grapes. Don't get turned off by fruit in salad! This sweet and savory combo is mouth watering, I promise. This is all then brought together by the lime-honey dressing. Again, hint of refreshing lime with a sweet twist of honey. Talk about nutritious and delicious! Then I saw someone introduce Oprah to kale chips and her reaction to how amazing kale was, made me feel like, well if Oprah likes it, it can't be that bad. So I found myself, washing and massaging kale. Turns out, it isn't as time consuming as I had thought it would be and it is so versatile! Anything from chips, salads and smoothies. Hot or cold. Raw or cooked. So many amazing recipes worth discovering! Kale chips are surprisingly simple to make. They are light and crispy and melt in your mouth. Even my kids get excited when they have a side of kale chips with their supper. My only complaint, is that I can never fit enough into my oven. Putting kale in stews or stir fries, or in a green smoothie is also amazing. But this post is not about kale chips, nor is it about kale smoothies (sorry guys). This post is about the best kale salad that you will ever have. No joke. This salad is hearty, juicy, flavorful and can stand to be a meal on it's own. It is my go -to potluck plate. One of the things I love about it is that you can make it ahead of time. Thanks to the hearty prehistoric nature of the leaf it isn't going to go all soggy and mushy on you like most other salads. In fact, the flavors will just infuse the salad more. I was introduced to a version of this salad by one of my best friends. She worked around the corner from an upscale grocer in Montreal, and would buy her lunch there from time to time. One day she started raving about how amazing this salad was. She just couldn't get enough. Even the days that she brought a lunch with her, she would end up going to buy a small kale salad to add to it. She promoted the deliciousness of this salad for months before I tried it for myself. How good could it be? It sounded so simple. Kale, quinoa, carrots and grapes (yes, grapes). Let me tell you, she was right. And I am forever grateful that she introduced it to me. This salad was that good. And again, extra amazing, because if you don't finish it, no matter! Just save it for the next day. Taking a mental note of the ingredients, this is my take on it. Crunchy, juicy, sweet and filling. I always make a huge bowl of it so that I can enjoy it throughout the week. This salad is super simple to make and is packed with nutrition.

This caramelized nut mixture is delicious as a candy treat or can be crushed and used in other recipes. < Back Praline Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: Serves: 2 Cups About the Recipe The holidays are filled with nuts, chocolate and sweet baking. It's a cozy time spent with friends and family. One of my favorite sweet treats this time of year is candied nuts. So simple to make and so delicious. It is one of those dangerous snacks that you can't stop eating (I go nuts for nuts. Haha.) But seriously, there is just something about the crystalized sugar texture with the creamy texture of the nuts. Whether, they are pecans, almonds or hazelnuts, you can do so much with them. Add them to your favorite desserts for a next level twist. Sprinkle them onto cakes, ice-cream or even chocolate mousse. From serving these goodies as whole nut candies or making them into smoother wafer candy tiles. This easy praline recipe is one to try! If you want to keep the nuts whole, simply keep the nuts intact instead of pulverizing into flour. What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients 3/4 cups Nuts (Almonds, Pecans, Hazelnuts etc.) 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar 2 Tablespoons Butter 1/4 Teaspoon Salt Preparation You can either use individual nut flours for this recipe or use whole nuts. If you do not have access to individual nut flours, you can use a food processor to make your own. To make it, simply put nuts in a food processor and pulverize until you obtain a flour-like consistency. Add in salt and mix until combined. In a small saucepan, prepare your sugar syrup by heating the sugar over low heat. Stirring often until there are no more visible sugar granules. Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the butter. Be careful, the sugar will be very hot. When you mix in the butter, it will bubble. Keep stirring until the butter has melted and is well incorporated. The mixture will become translucent. Next, stir in the nut flour mixture. The mixture will slowly become more opaque. Keep stirring until everything is well incorporated. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon rounds of your hot praline mixture onto the baking sheet (be careful not to touch the syrup, it will be very hot). The size of your dollops will depend on your cooking project. Let cool and harden. Enjoy! If ever you want to reheat the praline so that it is pliable, either put your saucepan back onto the stove on low heat or put your baking sheet into the oven at 300F for 1-2 minutes. Use caution when handling. Recipe Card Previous Next

Flaky and light, these easy to make apple turnovers will be a family favorite! < Back Easy Apple Turnovers Prep Time: 20 Minutes Cook Time: 25 Minutes Serves: 8 Servings About the Recipe As the autumn leaves start falling from the trees, and my surroundings begin looking more and more bare, I start to really have the urge to cozy up indoors. As part of my hibernation preparation, I start longing for the warmth of freshly baked treats. And if you are like me and are craving a little sweet treat this time of year, and looking for something to do with all those apples you picked, there is nothing easier and more delicious than a light and flaky apple turnover. These little pockets of goodness are just what one needs for a special morning treat or as a side to ones afternoon tea. Light and flaky, it won't leave you feeling heavy and overstuffed (unless you simply can't help yourself and eat two or three. I won't blame you). I usually don't have the patience to make my own phyllo pastry. So store bought will do just fine. No need to give yourself more work to do. You just have to remember to thaw the dough ahead of time since it usually comes frozen. I try to put mine in the fridge the day before I plan to make them, but when I forget, I leave the dough out on the counter for 2-3 hours to defrost to room temperature. I love this recipe because it is simple to make, has minimal ingredients and everyone will rave about your baking skills. I usually use Honeycrisp apples, but that is just because they are what my family loves to eat most, so those are the ones I tend have on hand. You can also use Fuji, Gala or Granny Smith which taste equally as delicious. What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients 2 squares of phyllo dough 3 apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji or Granny Smith) 3 tbsp. brown sugar 1 tbsp. unsalted butter 2 tsp cinnamon 1 1/2 tsp corn starch 1/2 tsp salt Glaze (optional) 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2-3 tbsp. apple juice (from the filling) 1/4 tsp vanilla extract Preparation Step 1 Preheat oven to 400F. Peel and then core your apples (I just prefer mine peeled, but if you don't want to bother, you can leave the skin on) . If you have a coring tool it makes your job even easier as well. Once your apples are naked, chop them into bite sized cubes (think about how big you would want the chunks to be in your turnover). Mine are usually about 1.5-2cm big. Step 2 Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add apples and cook until softened (approx. 5 mins) stirring often. Add in brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cook for another 2 mins. Scoop out 2-3 tbsp. of cooking liquid and set aside (you'll use this for making the glaze). Add the cornstarch to the apple mixture, stir and cook for an other 2 mins until liquid has thickened slightly. Set aside. Step 3 Assembling the turnovers . Time to roll out the dough. Flour your work surface so that the dough does not stick as you are rolling it out, it will be easier to handle this way. Take one square at a time and roll it out with a rolling pin into a square about 3mm thick. Step 4 Divide the dough into four equal squares and put a heaping scoop of the apple mixture into each square. You want to leave enough dough around the edges to be able to close each pocket properly or it may leak out during baking. Step 5 In a small bowl combine the egg with two tbsp. of water. Mix well until you have a smooth egg wash. Brush the edges of the dough with your egg wash mixture. Do not make it too wet. You just want to put just enough to make the edges stick. Fold each square into a triangle by lining up opposite corners. Press down along the edges to close into a nice pocket. Step 6 To add extra security so the edges do not separate during baking, use a fork to press along the edges. This will not only seal your sweet packets of goodness, it also adds a nice visual finishing touch. Step 7 With the help of a spatula, carefully transfer the apple turnovers onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 400F for 20-25 mins. until golden brown. Apple Glaze (optional) While the turnovers are baking you can prepare the apple glaze. The turnovers are wonderful on their own and if you are not a big sweet tooth, you can definitely enjoy as is. If you want to add a little extra sweetness, mix together the powdered sugar, the spoonful's of apple juice that you had placed aside earlier and the vanilla. Remove turnovers from the oven and drizzle with apple glaze if you so desire. Enjoy! Recipe Card Previous Next

A perfect balance of creamy homemade raspberry ice cream with a touch of rich Nutella. A dessert that's both decadent and refreshing. < Back Raspberry Nutella Ice Cream Cakes Prep Time: 15 Minutes Cook Time: Serves: 14-18 Mini Cakes About the Recipe I am so excited to share this recipe with you: Raspberry Nutella Ice Cream Cakes. These delicious treats are made with homemade raspberry ice cream, which is bursting with fresh, tangy berry flavor. But that's not all – there's also a thin layer of Nutella at the bottom, adding a rich and indulgent chocolate-hazelnut flavor that perfectly complements the creamy sweet raspberries. The combination of flavors and textures in these ice cream cakes is truly delightful, making them the perfect dessert for any occasion. I had been wanting to make homemade ice-cream for a long time. The problem was, I didn't own an ice-cream maker, and without an ice-cream maker, I didn't think that I would be able to pull anything delicious off. But then I remembered a wonderful recipe my grandmother used to make. It was a raspberry ice-cream loaf. We would often have it when visiting her in Switzerland during the hot summer months. Made in the shape of a bread loaf and served in slices, it was the perfect refreshing afternoon treat. Not too heavy and sweet and just right for those hot summer afternoons. I have wonderful memories of eating a slice outside in the shade on her beautiful farm house property. I never had my grandmothers actual recipe, but I used its flavor as inspiration for this one. Made with whipping cream, condensed milk and raspberries, the ice cream is simple to make and so delicately delicious. I added a thin layer of Nutella to the bottom, because in my opinion, there is no better combination than that of chocolate and raspberries. However, it is wonderful on its own as well. So let's get started and whip up a batch of these heavenly treats together! What You'll Love Frequently asked Questions Ingredients 1 1/2 cups Whipping Cream 1 can (300 ml) Sweetened Condensed Milk 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 3 cups Raspberries (fresh or frozen) 1 Lemon (juiced) 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar 1/3 cup Water 1 cup Nutella Spread Preparation Start by whipping your whipping cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Beat until stiff peaks form. Add in the condensed milk and vanilla. Beat for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well blended and smooth. Next, prepare your raspberry coulis. In a small sauce pan heat your raspberries, sugar and water on medium heat. Heat and stir until your raspberries soften. With the help of the back of a spoon mash your raspberry mixture until you are left with a simple purée. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5-10 minutes . Over a small bowl, drain the juice from the remaining raspberry pulp and seeds. With the help of a wire sieve and the back of a spoon press down the raspberry mixture to extract the juice. Once you have pushed through all you can, pour the raspberry juice into your prepared whipped cream. Gently mix in the raspberry sauce until all is well incorporated. You will be left with a beautiful light pink cream. Pour your raspberry cream mixture into freezer safe molds (I prefer to use silicone as I find it easier to release the cakes afterwards. I have also tried popsicle molds, those work well as well. Place your molds in the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours (overnight is best) until the cream has frozen. If you would like to add a thin layer of nutella to the bottom of your cakes make sure to leave a little room in your mold. Also, be sure to first freeze the raspberry cream and then spread on the nutella. Freeze for an added 1- 2 hours or until the nutella has properly set. Remove from the freezer when you are ready to serve. If you find it difficult removing your cakes from the mold, dip the bottom of your mold in warm water for 5-10 seconds . This should melt a thin layer and make the cakes slip out more easily. Do not do it for too long, remember, we are working with ice-cream here! Serve with assorted berries and plain whipped cream, or cookies. You make up the rest of the dessert plate! Enjoy! Recipe Card Previous Next
