Balsamic Glazed Strawberries

Strawberries are one of the tell-tale signs of early summer. They're plentiful at the farmers market, and they're plentiful in the Produce Department. If you haven't tasted the flavor of strawberry with reduced balsamic vinegar, prepare for a party for your taste buds. This dish is delicious served over vanilla ice cream or yogurt.

Kale Chips

KaleChips1

Kale, the leafy green guaranteed to make you feel healthier, is a great addition to any diet.  For those of us still getting used to this veggie that can be a little tough if not prepared correctly, baking the leaves into chips is a great introduction.  Really, coating anything in a little oil and salt is a surefire way to make taste good, right? So good that even your kiddos will love 'em. Kale is chock-full of nutrients like vitamins K, A and C and antioxidants and aids in cancer prevention and anti-inflammation.  It truly is superb.

KaleChipCollage

To make kale chips you'll need: 1 bunch of Lacinato kale 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Wash and dry kale leaves. Remove ribs from kale leaves and tear into 2-3" pieces.  In a large bowl, toss kale with oi and sea salt until evenly coated. Place kale on an ungreased baking sheet in a single layer.  Bake for 7-9 minutes, checking at 7 minutes to make sure the chips aren't burning. Let cool slightly then remove from the pan with a spatula. Enjoy!

Fun with Gingerbread, Part 2

GingerbreadSnowflakes2

Yesterday, we gave you a delicious recipe for gingerbread cookies, and assuming you haven't eaten them all, we're here to give you some tips for decorating them.  The first, which works great for smaller cookies is to dip them in a glaze, like the photo above.  To make the glaze combine 2 cups of powdered sugar, 3-4 tablespoons of half and half and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.  Whisk until smooth.  Dip one side of the cookies into the glaze and place on a baking sheet.  Once all the cookies are dipped, sprinkle your favorite holiday decorations on top and let dry.

The second way to decorate, though not as tasty, creates a beautiful, stiff icing that you can use to calk your bathtub if all else fails. To make this Royal Icing combine 3 egg whites, 1 pound of powdered sugar and any flavor you like if you intend on eating it.  Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and whip until frothy.  Add the powdered sugar and whip on medium/high until glossy peaks form.  This icing hardens rather quickly, so place it into a piping bag right away or cover it with plastic wrap.  You can also add in any color you'd like at this point.

To build our little gingerbread neighborhood (which is WAY less commitment than building a house) we cut out some basic building shapes from our gingerbread.  We also cut out some triangular support pieces that work the same way a picture frame does.  We filled a piping bag fitted with a small circle tip with our Royal Icing and piped on windows, doors and icicles.  We then used the icing as glue to attach all the pieces to a sheet of cardboard.
