Happy birthday to one of my grandmothers. A fond childhood memory is watching my grandpa peel an entire apple with a paring knife, in swift motion. Grandma would make the buttery flaky crust! It's sweet to see a couple work together in the kitchen. We kids would make rosettes with the long apple string. So, today, the girls and I made an apple pie in memory of the best Italian cook I know! Miss and love you grandma! Xo j 💚 Try brushing your pie crust with 2 tbsp of melted butter and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Let it bake for 5 more minutes and you'll never leave your pie crust untouched again. It's so buttery, crispy and sweet! It IS the best part of this apple pie! Yep! Try it! I made a cream cheese frosting with peanut butter powder, confectioner sugar, cinnamon & vanilla extract....whipped together and spread over a banana bread round. Topped that with the other round and dusted with confectioner sugar. 1 cup confectioner sugar 3/4 cup peanut butter powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla 2 bricks of softened cream cheese Whip together until smooth! Deeeee-licious! Happy Creating! Xo j 💚 I've been uninspired lately; so, no new posts or recipes. But, on a bright note, traeger grills asked me to sign up for their March meat madness contest. They suggested I submit my pork belly recipe. So, naturally, I did!☺️ Happy Friday! Enjoy this gorgeous day! Xo j 💚 It's my first time and I'm pretty excited to try it. If pork belly is on a menu, I'm always going to order it. I know the flavor I'm going for but I need to do a little research...pellets, dry rub, time & temp!! Happy Saturday! Xo j 💚 Dry rubbed with garlic, red & black pepper, sea salt, dizzy pig rub & applewood rub. It turned out incredibly well!!! Can't wait to smoke another one soon!!🐖🍴😋 Brighten up your fruit salad with 2 tbsp minced mint, 1 zested and juiced lemon, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract & a tsp of sugar. Mix and let all of those wonderful flavors merry! Happy Almost Spring! Xo j 💚 |
