Drunken Watermelon Cobbler
Something magical happens when you cook watermelon. The water is released and it transforms into a new consistency, similar to a peach. And the flavour intensifies. You won’t believe it. Drunken Watermelon Cobbler has a hint of gin, lime and mint for a surprising fresh balance to the sweetness of the fruit.
Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
I would love to take credit for this recipe but it’s not mine. I found it on the internet last year and made the loaf. It was so good I couldn’t believe it was packed full of zucchini! The concept of delicious and nutritious is a joke, right? But in this case, I have to say….there is some nutritional value with all that zucchini. I made another batch and used some whole wheat flour and reduced the sugar so now it’s even MORE nutritional. This version of the recipe makes 12 perfect Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins.
Blackened Pike Tacos
You can make Blackened Pike Tacos with any type of fish that’s thick and dense enough to stand up to the blackening process without falling apart. Add a crunchy slaw and creamy sauce and you’ve got yourself an authentic Fish Taco.
Bruschetta Bread
When tomatoes and basil are in season, it’s the ideal time to make Bruschetta. These tasty tomato topped baguette slices are quick and easy to make. And, you can do most of the prep in advance so they’re ready in no time for happy hour or al fresco dining!
