🍓 On the Menu: Spring Millet Salad & Strawberry Cake

Published about 15 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

I remember cooking with millet back in the 70s and 80s, but it’s a grain many people aren’t familiar with. It’s a naturally gluten-free whole grain that cooks up tender with a pleasantly chewy bite ~ almost like pasta!

It's full of fiber, plant protein, antioxidants, and all that good stuff.

🫜 Spring Millet Salad

I’ve always loved grain salads ~ they're so satisfying, and when you add lots of fresh veggies, herbs, greens, and sometimes cheese, they become a feast. They’re right up there among the healthiest things you can eat.

And best of all? They'll last days and days in the fridge for meal prep and snacking.

🥕 The Case for Turning Carrot Cake Into Bars

Hey friends❣️ Today I'm sharing a brand new carrot cake bar that doesn’t pull any punches ~ these babies are loaded. 🥕 Carrot Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting These loaded carrot cake bars got a universal thumbs up from all my taste testers, ages 3-70. The’re so much lighter than a layer cake, but are definitely rich enough to satisfy any dessert craving. The contrast between the moist chunky carrot base with the fluffy cream cheese frosting is really great. And since you might have some...

🌿 Sunday on Great Island

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! Do you consider it the end of the week, or the start? I’m definitely on team end of week. But that doesn’t mean my Sundays are slow. I’m head chef for our weekly family dinner and while sometimes we go the paper plates and pizza route, it’s also a chance for me to try out fun ideas on the group. Last week I did a baked potato bar. I use a big 24" lazy susan (you can see it in my winter cheeseboard post.) I put it in the center of our round dining room table and...

🍀 This Mousse Has No Business Being This Good

Hey friends❣️ 🍀 This happened when I whipped Baileys Irish Cream! Baileys Irish Cream Mousse I call this one of my 'emergency desserts', it's a no-bake wonder that you can whip up in a matter of minutes. The texture is light and creamy, and the flavor is layered with chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and a lingering hint of Baileys. It's not overly sweet and none of the flavors hits you over the head. I think you'll love it. I'm in full Irish mode right now, how about you? How to Make Soda Bread ~...
