So, what do you do when you get a bag of Meyer lemons? You make a Meyer lemon pound cake, of course! Laura encouraged me to get a bag of these sweet but tart lemons. It was late on Sunday when I pulled them out, so I pulled out my go-to-recipe and the Meyer Lemon Pound cake was born.
This is the perfect end to a snowy winter day. After spending 2 hours shovelling, it's nice to come in and have a hearty bowl of chilli. Brrr! Excuse me while I go and defrost my fingers and toes.
Last night was a verrry lazy night at the Olive and Ruby homestead. I wanted some comfort food, but no one was here to make it for me. I was also craving Asian food, but didn’t want to drive out to get some. After a quick review of the ingredients that I had – Sweet and Spicy Chili Chicken was made.
This was not a good week to be lactose intolerant, because it was all about custards and heavy cream - we made Crème Caramel and Bavarian cream. I’m not a fan of food with this texture, but I know lots of people who are, so they were thrilled that I learnt how to make this.
Last Saturday while we were practicing our piping Chef T. literally whipped up a batch of this delicious soda bread when some of us said that we were hungry. It took 10 minutes to make, and about 20 minutes to bake.
