had some extra hummos for personal consumption and added Greek yogurt, a healthy umph.....nice.....very nice......
passion fruit juice has taken the place of OJ in alot of my dishes.....if I can get the concentrate frozen even better.
margarom was plentiful and took the place of oregano in lemon/garlic/evo/oregano chicken skewers.....no one noticed......
not sure I would either....
I've been making cherry pies.....dried montmorcey cherries with tart jarred cherries.....take the juice of the tart and rehydrate the dried, add orange zest, sugar....sometimes vanilla or chambord.....heat, add cornstarch and the drained cherries. Fabulous cherry goo. The orange zest really makes it.
Mascarpone has been a simple pie addition.....lemon curd and mascarpone magically become pie goo.....nutella, mascarpone, frangelica/kahula become chocolate pie goo, top with crushed heath bars and it's even better.
Sometimes quick and easy does not diminish in flavor.
One week it was new potatoes boiled in cayene and zataran water, cut and added to sour cream, onions, cooked bacon for a quick spicy potato salad.
Or the pecan rolls that were a total rift.....potato bread dough with loads of pecans, butter, brown sugar and then in the bottom of the pan I put corn syrup/pecan halves/brown sugar.....orange zest again in the goo....yep, they were tasty. |
