Looking for Easter Cookie Recipes? These Lemon Meringue Peeps are super simple to make and reminiscent of those yellow peeps from Just Born. Instead of marshmallow, these homemade peeps are crispy, light meringue cookies. They are lemony and bright, but you can make any peeps flavors you like.
This recipe is courtesy of my Aunt, RoseMarie, who makes the best smoked salmon and cognac cream pasta on the planet. She serves it as a delicious small plate starter or as a main course delicacy when she has the family over for dinner. The cognac cream sauce really enhances the luxuriousness of this dish. Whether you’re looking for delicious lent recipes or just have a hankering for a creamy pasta dish, look no farther!
Instead of the standard mimosa for your next Sunday brunch, why not jazz it up with these simple champagne passion fruit cocktails? The passion fruit syrup perfumes this easy bellini recipe and takes it way beyond the ordinary.
If you love rich, hearty soups, look no farther than this tasty Italian bean soup. I’m sure you’ve had it before… either your Nonna made it when you were a kid, or you got hooked on the Olive Garden pasta fagioli soup and those addictive bread sticks. This traditional Italian pasta fagioli recipe came from a local Italian restauranteur in my area. The flavors in his recipe are spot on. Chef Baba also shares his tips on an easier mirepoix recipe too. Better yet, this is one of the simplest soups to make — no bean soaking required.
If you swoon for mango and flip for coconut or if citrus, papaya and guava are your “thing” you won’t want to miss the intense the flavor and aroma of fresh passion fruit. These wrinkled, purple orbs with a white, almost papery interior, house a golden, gelatinous goo that’s like a concentrate of all of those tropical flavors in one. Passion fruit pulp also makes a fabulous passion fruit syrup that’s seductive in desserts and makes indescribably lush cocktails.
