Condensed Milk Iced Coffee

I'm excited about this recipe, yes, an iced coffee recipe. Here is the story, I used to work in a Spanish specialty store where they sold a coffee called Cafe Bombon. It's essentially a shot of a strong espresso or coffee sweetened with condensed milk. I’m not sure which area of Spain it’s from but this coffee is such a treat, you must order it if you come across it. 

Shortbread Cookies

Don’t you love a good treat to go with your afternoon cup of coffee or tea? Well, if you’re still in search for that perfect treat, I have good news, I’m sharing this must-try recipe: Shortbread cookies. I actually made this batch for our Easter brunch, I made them the day before but it can be done a few days ahead or even weeks since they freeze well. They are great for gatherings, the perfect end to a good meal.

Chocolate Swirl Meringues

Planning Luca’s birthday party has been keeping me very busy these past few weeks. Thankfully it’s over. The reason for this is, I take on the task of making everything myself, from designing the invitations to making the piñata and of course, making the food and sweets all from scratch. I love to do all of these, don't get me wrong, it’s just tiring. 

Pickled Cauliflower and Jalapeño

A quick update to post this pickled cauliflower and jalapeño recipe. I love to use this technique to preserve my favorite seasonal vegetables. I'm actually kind of late for this post which I did a while ago but, I figured, it’s never too late to share a good recipe. It’s really easy to put together and the end result is amazing, crunchy and slightly spicy cauliflower. Of course, the intensity of the heat can be elevated by adding more jalapeños. For this recipe, I only used one and I also added a few spices and lemon zest for a citrus note. Enjoy this recipe and next week I'm coming back with a chocolate swirl meringues I made for my son’s birthday and also, a piñata tutorial. Yes, you read well, I said piñata!!
