peach banana smoothie
Banana & Nutella heaven
For this banana Nutella recipe, toast wheat bread until light brown (I prefer mines a little burnt). Let it cool for 2 minutes, then cut the banana into slices.
Easy Rapsberry tarts.
Usually tarts are baked, and I try to avoid outside "snack" food because it's usually HighFructoseCornSryupGivingEveryoneCancerAndDiabetes thing. So I found a cheaper, easier, and healthier way to have a snack in between my long day of classes.
White Peach and Rosemary Jam
I really enjoy a sweet yet savory jam. Such a treat allows you to escape the cloying nature of many fruit preserves but also provides flexibility in that your jam is no longer relegated to breakfast or PB&J (not that jam should be, but it often is). Anyway, still enjoying my plum-basil jam in such a major way, I decided to savory up my sweet white peaches from last weekend's farmers market. Rosemary, black pepper and Cognac did the trick nicely, and this will be absolutely wonderful with cheese, on a good whole grain bread or baguette, and in many other ways.
Iced Mint and Citrus Tea
This recipe is inspired by a tea I get every Saturday at my local Greenmarket -- as my mother would say, I "diagnosed" and then "reproduced!"
Blueberry Basil Infused Vodka
Made with simmered blueberries and leafy basil, this recipe's complex vodka infusion captures the essence of summer. Fresh, light and wonderfully fragrant.
Goat Cheese & Fig Pizza
Creativity was at its peak and I came up with this combination. I thought the pizza turned out to be a bit dry so I'd add caramelized onions next time. Just melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick pan and cook 1/4 cup sliced yellow onion until they turn light brown.
Cantaloupe with honey, mint & lime
The combination of honey, mint and lime is the best way I know to brighten up an early- or late-season melon. Use a mild honey such as orange blossom.
Coffee-Coco Mint Frappe
The addition of blueberries in this frappe may seem odd but it lends a delicate fruity flavor without overpowering the main ingredients. It works well and it’s divine!
Watermelon Lassi
My boys and I just love, LOVE the fresh summer flavors in this watermelon lassi: watermelon, lime, mint and yogurt. For a lighter drink, you can leave out the yogurt; for a cooler treat, you can freeze this mix in popsicle molds!
Does this still count as lemonade?
It is hot. This entire week I haven't wanted to leave my house because it is too darn hot. I needed something for long hard walk (about 10 minutes and I get to stroll through two gardens) to work. This is what I came up with, it's delicious to drink on my way to work, and once I get there I can pull out my fork and go for the fruit which is pleasantly cold and lemony. I put mine in a mason jar because it looks cute and packs easily, but you could use a water bottle or just a glass instead.
Avocado dressing
This is so simple I hardly call it a recipe. Yet it is one of my Summer staples when I am making tasty, healthy ,quick Summer salads. Avocados are such a perfect fruit that I hate to do much to disguise their creamy, nutty flavor and this dressing stays true to that premise. I usually use Hass avocados ,the dark pebbly looking ones that have the best flavor(in my opinion).
Indonesian Avocado and Chocolate Shake
I know this sounds like a crazy idea, but Avocado Chocolate Shakes are as popular in Indonesia as strawberry-banana smoothies are in the US. Try this recipe!
Fluffy Strawberry Buttercream
I have yet to find the perfect strawberry cake recipe, but was pair this buttercream with a light vanilla cake and you feel completely satisfied with your strawberry craving.
Ruby Red Currant and Rhubarb Tart
This tart was created because of an abundance of red currants in my friend's back yard. The rhubarb and currants work together to make a tart (pun NOT intended) filling. Be aware: this tart is very juicy, so serve with a spoon and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
Fresh Picked Cherries with Limoncello
Fresh picked cherries macerated in homemade limoncello, it doesn't get much better than that! A perfect combination of sweet & tart and to top it off with a spoonful of whipped cream!
Avocado, Strawberry, and Mango Salad
This is not your average fruit salad recipe. This avocado, strawberry, and mango salad is fresh, sweet, creamy, tangy, and quick to make. And it's oh-so easy!
Avocado Lassi
Lassi as you all know is a famous drink made from yogurt and fruits, the mango lassi is the most famous one. But, sometimes we make Avocado Lassi also. Although, avocados are not available in India. In my city, there is a lassi shop, whose dry fruit lassi is so famous. So, this lassi is adapted from his dry fruit lassi which is full of dry fruits. Hope you like it.
Simple Summer Berries and Stone Fruit for Dessert
What good fortune to find ourselves in the midst of the summer fruit season, when the Farmer’s Markets carry loads of field-ripened berries and stone fruit. I want to serve it in its purest form, uncooked, room temperature, perfumed and juicy.
Patacones and Chifles (plantains cut fat and thin)
Patacones and Chifles are plantains cut fat and thin and fried in oil. I was shown how to make this chifles recipe by the lady who helped in our house.
Strawberry Rosé Spritzer
I've traditionally been a purist when it comes to pink wine, but it occurred to me recently that if someone wanted to enjoy the illusion of drinking more rosé without actually getting tipsy, she could combine it with soda water and make a spritzer. (You can take a girl out of the 80s...) What's more, she could whizz up some of those divinely delicious strawberries from the farmers market and add a fruity burst to her spritzer.
Raw Turnip Tangelo Toss
This kind of Japanese side dish, sunomono, is usually a vinegared vegetable paired with a contrasting flavor. The late summer Japanese turnips are delicious raw so I paired them with California Tangelos. The Minneola Tangelos started appearing here last year, and have a very strong juice and tasty peeling. The salt/soaking in step 2 gives the turnips a softness seen in picture 3 (soaked) compared to 2 (not soaked).
Mango Salad with Lime and Pepitas
When I was traveling in Guatemala I spent a week taking Spanish classes in Panajachel where I managed to catch the tail end of mango season. Every morning the street was filled with men and women selling ripe, juicy mangoes sliced and arranged neatly in a tiny plastic bag. You could choose to eat your mango "simple", or plain, but I always noshed on mine with salt, ground pepitas, and freshly squeezed lime juice. The recipe below is essentially a table friendly version of this glorious “mango in a bag”. A couple notes: 1. Chili powder or cayenne pepper would make a nice addition if you want a little spice. 2. I ground my pepitas using a mortar and pestel. 3. This is a recipe that works well for any meal!
Aam Ka Panna - Mango drink
As lot of us shared that we all simply eat mango, drink mango, cook mango and dream mango all season long during summer in India. So, this is a wonderful sour, tarty drink that we consume a lot , I really mean to say a lot during summer months, one of the reasons is because it helps against the hot breeze or hot temperature in Indian Summer. So that you do not get flu. Yes, it is odd to understand how can summer bring out flu. But, yes lot of times during summer we would fall sick due to hot temperature and there is seriously nothing better than having a glass of "panna". good thing is it can be stored for a month or so or may be more.
