Veggie “Mexie” Burrito

by micheleblue and filed in Special Dietary Needs, Vegetarian

A change up from the vegetable burritos served at most restaurants! I grew tired of biting into a whole piece of unflavored broccoli and cauliflower when we went out to eat, and the only thing on the menu for me to eat was this kind of “veggie burrito”. So I created my own version of a very yummy veggie burrito, with flavor! I hope you also love it!

I have had this recipe for quite awhile and am not even sure who I got it from. You can even make the batter the night before and put it in the refrigerator. The next morning you can add the blueberries. These are delicious and your family will beg for more! Very unique taste.

Carmelized Upside Down Pear Tart

by saffron and filed in Desserts, Pies

This tart is made easy by the use of puff pastry.

Adding the grated fresh ginger, gives it a delicious treat. I buy fresh Bosc pears and let them sit about 3 days room temperature.

I usually serve it with vanilla ice cream, but just found a Ginger Ice Cream, that makes it amazing. Either way this is an easy and delicious dessert. And it makes an amazing presentation.

It’s adapted from my class teacher, Helen Rennie.

Party Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnut Appetizer

Crunchy water chestnuts are wrapped with savory bacon and baked in a brown sugar sauce for an easy party snack. They are a cinch to make and stay warm on the buffet table or cocktail tray for quite a while. If they last that long!
