☀️ The First Slice of Spring

Published about 6 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

Fresh out of the oven, my newest recipe just happens to be perfect for a lovely Spring Equinox menu. The combination of almond and raspberry can't be beat.

frangipane (fran-zih-pan)​
A classic French almond filling that bakes up soft, golden, and incredibly fragrant ~ the kind of thing that has you going back for another slice ;)

​Raspberry Frangipane Tart​

For Gluten Free: The almond frangipane is nearly flourless ~ just sub the 2 tablespoons of AP flour for your favorite gluten free baking mix and use a gf crust.

The rest of the spring equinox menu:

​Gin and Jam Cocktail​

​Asparagus Bisque ​

​Spring Salmon Bowls with Lemon Aioli​

​Green Goddess Wedge Salad ​

Spring Jam Desserts

Hey friends❣️ We are literally buried in snow, and the plowing company we hire to shovel us out never showed up. So let's just say if I want to bake today I'm going to have to get creative... Spring Desserts You Can Make with a Jar of Jam Jam is one of the smartest (and most delicious) baking shortcuts hiding in plain sight ~ right there in the jam aisle. I love all the interesting new flavors and blended preserves ~ they open up a whole new world of creativity when I use them in place of...

Salmon bowl

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! We had a family birthday this week and the birthday girl requested salmon sushi bowls for dinner. It’s not a difficult recipe, but somehow it took most of my day to pull together ~ probably because I was trying to make all the elements birthday-worthy. Thank goodness for the rice cooker I bought on a whim last year. Not having to worry about the rice was a help. I’m probably best known for my cakes around here, so when birthdays roll around I have plenty to choose...
