Palmeritas :: A Simple Easter Treat {Menu Plan Monday}





Palmeritas 

Here's the step by step to making the simplest and most divine pastry treat ever!










When I studied in Spain during college, I fell in love with a simple pastry they called Palmeritas.  I admit to having purchased packages of these sugary puff pastry delights and eaten them all in one sitting.  Never in a million years would I have thought of trying to make them myself or that, if I did, they could compare to the palmeritas from Sevilla.  Until I saw the Barefoot Contessa make them on her show.  She used a total of three ingredients : sugar, salt and Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Dough.  She made it look so simple that I tried it and have been hooked ever since.  Trust me, you will be the star of the Easter buffet if you bring these because not only will people swoon at their caramelized deliciousness, they will be amazed at your ability to bake like a pro.  (No need to share this recipe with them!)

I am not going to copy her recipe here on my site but rather send you to her Food Network site where you can get the exact recipe in all its simple perfection.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MONDAY - Pizza Rusitca from Baking with Julia.  Come back tomorrow to see the results and get the recipe.

HOLY THURSDAY - Tilapia on the grill with grilled veggies and rice

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven baskets, doesn't she?       Even the boys had fun playing in the sand while I took m

Savoring Summer {Staying in the Season}

The desk full of binders, calendars, sports schedules and dreamy ideas is where I currently find myself, while my mind continues to stray back to the mountains and clouds of our trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We have been home for a week and I decided in future, I must come home better mentally prepared for the onslaught of emails and to-do items that pile up when we go away for two whole weeks. The fact that school resumes one week from today only intensifies the pressure to get it all done right away. Usually at this point in August I am eager for cooler, less humid days hinting at the beauty of spicy Autumn flavors. Not this year. I am so invigorated by my return to normal movement following the long recovery from knee surgery that I don't want these summery days to end. At least not until they officially end on September 23, 2014. This year feels like a do-over, the last one so consumed by injury, pain and slow, slow, slow recovery. My mind is bursti

Saturday Surfing {favorite spots from around the web}

Saturdays are the perfect time for a little aimless web-wandering and here are few of my recent reads I'd like to recommend to you. The Wild Surrender of Motherhood by Carrie Ann Moss @Annapurna Living This new website launched this week and is absolutely lovely. Remember Carrie Ann Moss from the Matrix movies? Well she is now the founder and inspiration behind this blog.  Here is an excerpt of her vision for annapurnaliving.com : FROM CARRIE-ANNE ... “To see womanhood through eyes of grace.”  My desire is to live in a world where nourishment is valued. I believe a nourished family will lead to a nourished world. I believe life is beautiful and that our divine purpose in this world is to nurture the earth by respecting it and being grateful for what it provides us.
