Berry Sangria Cake

Probably over a year ago now, I made a Sangria-inspired cake. I was super-proud of it at the time, but I used cake mixes for the cake layers, tried to use a mirror glaze for the drip (fortunately it was a bit too cold to run like mirror glaze is supposed to; only reason it worked as a drip! :/ ) and just felt like the whole thing could use a do-over.I also learned that scratch layers gave a much better sangria flavor than starting with boxed mixes, so while you can do either I do recommend the recipe below!If you're feeling adventurous and want to tackle a two-tiered version of the same cake, you can find that recipe here!

Simple Broccoli Salad

This past Easter weekend brought about multiple family gatherings in which I was asked to bring a dish to. This broccoli salad is a family favorite. I get asked over and over again to make it and this weekend was no different. The good news is that it is cheap, easy, and quick to make. It is the perfect spring/summer side dish to take to any cookout or barbeque as it pairs well with hamburgers, barbeque chicken or pork, and steaks. The cheese and bacon give the salad a savory flavor while the creamy dressing provides a sweet touch. I like to make it up ahead of time so the flavors really get a chance to incorporate together. I hope your family and friends can enjoy this refreshing salad at your next gathering this summer.

Sausage Mushroom Pepper Pizza

There are so many options for pizza toppings but if I had to choose one favorite, it would have to be sausage and mushroom. Or Margherita pizza. They both rank equally high on my list but today, I'm going to shine the light on sausage and mushroom pizza. But of course, this is not your ordinary sausage and mushroom. I added a few more elements including balsamic roasted peppers, buffalo mozzarella, and lemony arugula to give you a classier version of the original. This sausage mushroom pepper pizza is, in my book, one super delicious pizza.

Chewy Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've been having a major debate lately trying to choose whether to have Oreos or Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert and let me just say it's been rough... I mean who could actually choose between the two, they're just wayyy too good. One day I was just sitting eating both Oreos and CC cookies (don't judge lol) and that's when I was like "wait a minute, I can actually have both!!" And that my friends, is where this brilliant recipe originated. Sometimes, I just want to have the best of both worlds and this is BY far the best definition of "best of both worlds". It has the chewiness of a chocolate chip cookie, it has a whole bunch of chocolate just like an Oreo, and it makes me do a happy dance the way both cookies do. I guess you can say I'm a little obsessed!! Okay well maybe not a little but you get the point. If you are an Oreo and a chocolate chip cookie lover, this is the perfect recipe for you. For additional tips, F.A.Q, and tricks to nail this recipe, check out the full recipe post on my blog here.

German Chocolate Box Mix Brownies

I think German Chocolate cake is one of those sort of polarizing foods that people either love or hate. I personally adore German Chocolate cake, and for me the best part is the sweet, nutty, coconut frosting.And while like I said, I love German Chocolate, the cake is actually a bit of a hassle to make. So I decided that in order to get that awesome topping, I would go ahead and whip up a box of brownie mix, and take it to the next level by making them into German Chocolate Brownies.The box mix is just your standard fudge brownie mix, but the topping I made from scratch, and it takes the brownies from generic box brownie fare (which, lets be honest, is still freaking amazing) and gives it that oomph and wow factor.

How to Make a BALT Salad With Creamy Avocado Ranch

Malt Chocolate Japanese Style Cheesecake (low Sugar and Fat)

Japanese style cheesecakes are crustless and incredibly light and fluffy. The trick to the fluffiness of this cake is whipping the egg whites separately and then folding it into the batter, this creates a lovely airy texture. They are already healthier than most cheesecake, I have taken this further to create and even lighter version with lower sugar. To compensate for the less creamy taste, I added some malted milk powder for some richness and depth of flavour. I have also replaced most of the sugar with monk fruit sweetener. You can replace with stevia too if you like. I have been told by friends that they can't tell that this is a healthy version !

Irish Soda Bread

Irish Soda Bread is a type of quick bread that doesn't use any yeast - instead, all of its leavening comes from baking soda and buttermilk. Specifically, the acid in the buttermilk reacts with the base of the baking soda to provide the bread's leavening. This Irish Soda bread was passed down to me from one of my great-aunt's, and my family has enjoyed it for years.This bread is a delightful mix of being soft, dense, yummy sweet pops of raisins, and has a wonderful crusty outside. Slather on some delicious Irish butter for a great afternoon snack, hearty side dish or even breakfast!My family prefers Irish Soda Bread without caraway seeds, but feel free to add 1 teaspoon if you wish! Also, some people prefer the bread without raisins, so feel free to leave those out as well.

Mango, Avocado, and Feta Salad With Jalapeno Lime Dressing

This fast and easy Mango, Avocado, and Feta Salad With Jalapeno Lime Dressing is bursting with flavor and perfectly refreshing for Summer!I'm always looking for new flavors to mix to make salad more creative. Last month I was going through my fridge to use up some fruits and veggies and stumbled across this combination of mango, avocado, green onions, and feta.For the dressing, I headed out to my little herb garden to see what could work. I ended up choosing fresh mint and basil. Since then I've made it at least once a week. I tried making the dressing with cilantro, but I decided I like the basil and mint better. I really love the combination, along with some lime juice and a little heat from a fresh jalapeno.This recipe makes four side salads or two meal sized salads. I've topped it with shrimp, fish, or chicken when I make it for a meal. Shrimp is definitely my favorite!

Healthier Mascarpone Ricotta Fruit Tartlets

There’s a korean cafe near my house and I’m obsessed with their fruit tarts. Instead of pastry cream, they’re filled with a cheesecake mixture and topped with glistening fruits. Yum! I have some leftover mascarpone and ricotta cheese at home and thought I’d try to make some tarts that inspired by the ones in the cafe. Instead of butter, I have opted to use a light olive oil spread to try and decrease the amount of saturated fats. The problem is it is softer than butter even when cold so it makes the dough harder to handle because it’s stickier. I find chilling it for a few hours beforehand and lightly flouring your hands and counter helps. Be careful not to add too much flour though or your pastry will be tough. To avoid handling it too much, I initially used a potato masher and a spoon to mix the spread with the flour. You can use a pastry cutter or better yet, a food processor if you have them instead (I don’t own either)After transferring the dough into the tartlet tins, I find it helpful to freeze the dough in the tin for half an hour before baking. Depends on how shallow your tins are, you may want to use baking paper and pie weights when blind baking it. My tins are quite shallow so I didn’t find that I need it. I do hope you try it! if you do please tag me @dessertsforlunch on instagram :)
