Matcha Ichigo Sando
For the second installment of Strawberry Week, I present to you - the Matcha Ichigo Sando. Ichigo means “strawberry” in Japanese. For my version of this classic Japanese snack, I combined matcha-flavored whipped cream with strawberries to make a light but satisfying sweet treat.
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble with Captain Crunch
I’m sad to say that we’re coming to the end of strawberry season here in North Florida. Unlike most areas of the country, we get our strawberries from Plant City between December and March. This week, I wanted to release a couple of recipes dedicated to my favorite fruit starting with this beautiful crumble that uses one of my favorite childhood cereals, Captain Crunch.
Blue Cheese Vinaigrette
I’m on a mission to get everyone to stop buying bottled salad dressings. They are incredibly easy to make at home and so much more clean! I learned this recipe in culinary school and it has made me love blue cheese dressings again.
Leek & Potato Soup
This is not a soup recipe so much as it is a soup making technique. During this late winter period when we don’t have a lot of spring vegetables at our disposal, it’s a great way to use up some alliums and potatoes in your dry storage. It is delicious, heart-warming, and easy to make.
50/50 Fondue
This is a much better alternative to the crowded restaurant scene on Valentine’s Day. Make a big pot of bubbling cheese and pair with your favorite sides like bread, pickles, and potatoes. Make sure you prep the Lactaid in advance.
