Easy Butter Pecan Ice Cream recipe

.

Love the almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds in my granola, and this recipe has its all. Plus maple syrup is my favourite go-to sweeter as well. I usually use dried apricots and mangos instead of raisins. Serve it with plain yogurt and fresh berries if they are seasonal. So yummy!

Banana Nut Bread recipe

These muffins are like the name, they are loaded with fresh fruits, high fibre cereals and whole wheat flour, also they are so moist and tasty. Great for breakfast, brunch or a snack in the afternoon.

Very moist and fluffy inside, golden brown outside; sour cream added the extra moist and tangy flavor, I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and I thought it was the right sweetness. If you have some ripe bananas on hand or you love banana bread, I will definitely recommend this recipe.

This is a great way to use up some leftover turkey breast. Not to mention after the holidays we all need a little weight watcher help!

"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)
