    Have you seen prettier tomatoes than these? Let me Have you seen prettier tomatoes than these? Let me introduce you to the “Santa Sweets” variety from @melissasproduce. Large in size, they are extremely sweet and juicy. They make an impressive presentation, with a few additional ingredients. Adding ruby gold potatoes also from @melissasproduce gives the salad hardiness for  a substantial meal. Look for them at your local grocery store.

    Sweet Mandarins was the secret for my Mandarin Cra Sweet Mandarins was the secret for my Mandarin Cranberry Poppy Muffins, thanks to @melissasproduce! They easily peel for that perfect bite. Eat them fresh or add them to your dishes. Best prevention for any cold!

Have you ever added a segment of fruit to the top of your muffin? Once baked, it’s gives you just a burst of citrus juice in your mouth. I’ve often added berries, figs, and grapes to enhance my pastries. Don’t pass up these juicy and healthy mandarins, they are now in season!
    I’m bringing back the Baked Alaska! Yes, I am wi I’m bringing back the Baked Alaska! Yes, I am with a Vegan Tropical Delight. This is Task #120 from my @rouxbeplants program. What makes this Vegan? There are no eggs or dairy in the recipe. I was so pleasantly surprised how simply this dessert came together.

When developing this recipe, I baked a white Vegan cake with toasted coconut flakes, and once baked cut it into rounds to fit the ramekin. For more tropical flavor I added a slice of fresh pineapple. And if that’s not enough, added a layer of chopped macadamia nuts and topped it with a coconut Vegan ice cream by @coconutbliss.  And into the freezer it went. 

Yes, the topping is a Vegan meringue made with #aquafaba a bean liquid. Once whipped,  I covered the frozen ice cream with the meringue and used a torch to give it color. Lastly, a touch of lime zest. 

Best of all, my neighbors were walking by and we enjoyed the dessert together!

    Have you stuffed an artichoke? I received several Have you stuffed an artichoke? I received several large artichokes from @melissasproduce today. Check out the second pic I posted. 

When shopping for artichokes look for tightly closed leaves with a bright green color. If opened like a flower, they are old. 

These artichokes have a stuffing with mushrooms, bulgur, herbs, pine nuts  and currants.  Make your own creation and try this technique!
