Brigadeiro

Or Brazilian-Style Truffle. 

Pasta al Burro

This dish is simple, delicious, sounds sophisticated and you can get it ready in a pinch. The Pasta al Burro is better known in North America as Pasta Alfredo, which traditionally it doesn't have any cream added to it. And really, with lots of butter (Burro) and Parmessan, who needs cream? ;)

Ham and Cheese Baked Sandwich

Also known as Stromboli, this baked deliciousness is in fact a rolled type of pizza. You know...just like Calzones. It might in fact be the perfect alternative to pizza night, without going completely sans pizza. ;)

Creamy Arugula Pesto

The good-for-you fat from avocado gives this pesto it's silky texture. Super versatile, you can use it as pasta sauce, spread on sandwiches or as a dip. 

No Yeast Pizza Dough

This recipe is for those who like their pizza crust thin and crispy. Wanna know what's even more exciting? No need to wait for the dough to rise. ;)

* The pizza on the picture was topped with cream cheese, Cambozola, sun-dried tomatoes and arugula. 

Tuna Tartare

 

March 20th was the first day of spring and to celebrate I made this melt in your mouth Tuna Fish Tartare. Seasoned with Asian spices, this dish is just the perfect spring dinner appetizer. 

Smoked Salmon Bites

These cute little bites are a great option for Brunch. The always tasty smoked salmon and cream cheese mixture are perfectly married together with a little push from thinly sliced pumpernickel. 

And that's how I've started my weekend yesterday and with what I return to blogging today!

Strawberry & Cream

Strawberry and Cream

Or Strawberry Dream? I'm still not sure of the best name for this dessert but one thing I'm certain of: it tastes freaking amazing! 

Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Sauce

Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Sauce

Being 100% honest with you, the mushroom sauce is actually the star of this dish. Yes, I've named it "Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Sauce" but only because that's the meat I served it with,  you are more than welcome to change it for Chicken Breasts or even fish if you are not a pork meat eater. 

Roasted Beet Salad

This is the salad  I served with the Pastry Wrapped Salmon, a post from a few days ago. It's incredibly delicious, so much so that you might be able to convert beet haters into beet lovers.

Homemade Crackers

Hosting a New Year's party? Try these flavorful Homemade Crackers instead of the usual (and greasy) store-bought snacks to serve along side dips or to hold Canapes. They are packed with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese, are sinfully delicious and BAKED! So no need to feel bad for eating a whole batch of them ;)

It's amazing how just a few ingredients mixed together can produce an incredible taste explosion in our mouths! In this gorgeous salad, the bitterness of the radicchio is well balanced by the honey mustard dressing and all flavors are brought to life with the salty feta cheese.
