Ebleskiver are similar to the American version of pancakes except that they seem to be lighter and fluffier due to the egg whites being beaten into stiff peaks. I like to make an assortment of flavors when I make ebleskiver, leaving some plain and filling the others with a variety of ingredients.
This sweet and sour vinaigrette can be used in many ways and you can adjust the ingredients according to your taste. As for the ingredients in the salad itself, you can use whatever you have on hand.
This version of Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic is easy because you put all of the ingredients in a casserole dish, bake it in the oven and forget about it. The end result is a rich, comforting meal. If the thought of forty cloves of garlic frightens you, there is no need to worry. The garlic flavor mellows as the cloves cook and when they are done, they are rich and buttery, perfect for slathering on your favorite bread or even the chicken itself.
This fuss-free french toast is perfect for busy mornings or breakfast parties because you simply put the ingredients in a pan and broil the french toast in the oven.
This bread is soft and makes great sandwiches or french toast. It is also the dough I use for Monkey Bread.
To celebrate Itsy Bitsy Foodies’ 1st Birthday I wanted to make something special: chocolate molten lava cake. I love that though this dessert exudes elegance, it is simple and straightforward to prepare – perfect for special occasions or any long day when you need a decadent pick-me-up.
I used my cilantro-lime vinaigrette taco salad recipe (adapted from a Cooking Light recipe) to make a refreshing avocado salad. I kept it simple with avocado, corn, black beans and bell peppers but you can adjust the salad fixings to your tastes and what you have on hand.
Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without chocolate and heart-shaped goodies. So I made my quick and easy One-Bowl Brownies in the shape of hearts, served à la mode with a red raspberry coulis.
Happy Valentine’s Day! For a quick, fiber-filled Valentine’s Day breakfast I made bran muffin hearts with my Mini Heart Baking Pan. If you don’t have heart pans you can bake part of the muffin batter in a 9×13 pan and cut out hearts with a cookie cutter.
Love Apples, otherwise known as tomatoes, were once believed to have aphrodisiac powers and were called pommes d’amour in French (literally, apples of love). It is a fitting name for a rich and creamy Valentine’s Day side dish.
