Sweet Rich Almond Tart … a sliver satiates. Serve with a dollop of unsweetened creme fraiche or whipping cream if you like. But this is a great company dessert that really does best without any additional topping. A sprinkle of powdered sugar for presentation and a great cup of strong coffee is all you need.
Yes, lots of fresh eggs. The girls have been busy!
Sorry Margaret, I had to make just a few changes. I love family recipes that kinda leave you to fill in the blanks. Seriously! My grandmother would say about a handful of salt. Or while shaking the cumin over soup or beans about this much. This rice pudding recipe had no cooking instructions but I’ve heard (Thank you Melissa Lopes) slow cooking while stirring constantly is important. And in cast iron if you have it. I’m always looking for an excuse to buy kitchen tools. Take a look at my new cast iron.
Wish I could have used the dairy’s milk. Heavy with cream. So, when Margaret says whole milk she means it!
If you aren’t into sugar … know this is very low in sugar but still sweet. Yes, I could eat the whole thing! It has very little similarity to the rice pudding you find at your grocer’s. It’s very creamy and the rice is noticed but not chewy. Because Margaret (my second cousin btw) suggested as an option adding vanilla pudding mix I decided her recipe may require eggs if the pudding wasn’t used. And being a bit of a purist, trying not to use processed if I can get around it, I added egg yolks. Again, the cooking is crucial to thickening and helps with clumping tendencies too. Margaret very well could have made the recipe without eggs or pudding mix.
Always made for a very large crowd … I’ve made the recipe more suitable for a family of four or five. Continue reading
Everyone is clamoring for dessert but you have none! Ten minutes to mix up and by thirty you’re eating it! Don’t get me wrong … I love fancy. And I don’t mind complicated. But sometimes simple and quick is needed and welcomed.
Banana cake in its simplest form is delicious. And it seems banana bread and muffins are plentiful wherever you go. So, I’m into changing up banana baked goods just because after years of somewhat the same taste I need a change up. Try my Hint of Orange Banana Nut Bread recipe too.
Why just one layer? This is a cake meant to be eaten up quickly. It will keep for a day or two and freezes well. But the idea is, oven fresh!
You have young chefs … This is a great learning experience and simple enough for a beginner to put together.
How can this be a family recipe? Brazilian? Connie joined our family almost a year ago as I joined hers. Our children married. Connie’s family is originally from the Azores but lived in Brazil most of her youth. She has shared with me her recipe for feijoada. I’ve made a few minor changes to ingredients but will include her version and mine. And the cooking method was changed slightly.
If I haven’t captured your attention … It’s hard to be passionate about beans BUT not for me! Portuguese Black Beans doesn’t fully describe this recipe. This is an amazingly delicious meat stew with beans. Served with rice and collards.
You’ve got to try this!
You are into something light for dinner … It’s hot and you’re not into cooking … This is perfect! Well, I had wine too.
Last week was busy with visiting family, and food preparation but not too much time to post. And I was nominated for the Liebster Award again! Love it! The rules have changed. See my first Award Nomination. This is not necessarily for just new bloggers. Now we want to know more revealing information about our bloggers. Yikes!
Today I’d planned to finish another Martha Stewart Triscuit entry. But I’ve lost my light with the rain. And my twenty-nine dollar plate does no justice. 🙁
Portuguese Rice Pudding And I’m sharing the secret aside from cooking in cast iron.

The Fudge Pops were a success! Dot is waiting for a drip. Or more. 🙂
If you have 2 and 3 Year Olds who want to make S’Mores this might be a better option … And they can participate in the fun! After they have placed their favorite toppings on the graham crackers and have sprinkled with their favorite miniature marshmallows you place the cookie sheet under the preheated broiler for 30 seconds to a minute. Remove and immediately top with another graham cracker. Yum! For the Grown ups use chocolate chip cookies instead of grahams and use your best chocolate.
Lots of company this week and a great time to make this one dish meal! Serves eight easily with a green side salad! We loved it and hope you love it too!
California one dish meal is just a wonderful company meal for a crowd. Lots of company with lots of children of all ages. We’ve eaten it all.
Use this recipe to top your favorite cracker or toast for an appetizer. Or place this over a thin spaghetti or angel hair for a deliciously light meal.
Family is coming to visit this week. And wanted to get in this post before all heck breaks loose. (If my family reads this, oops, sorry.)
YES, we have winners in the Giveaway. To be announced soon!
Hope you try this very easy tasty recipe! I submitted this in Martha Stewart’s Triscuit Contest just for fun.
Only three ingredients and a few minutes of your time and you will be enjoying these summertime treats. If you are looking for a dark chocolate taste and more icy than creamy this is not the recipe.
Here are two rich creamy milk chocolate ice cream treats in one recipe.
