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.

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?

At the Water's Edge {52 Photos Project}

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that where we live, day after day, is actually a vacation destination for many people who come from far away to spend a weekend on the beach. They may have saved money for months to afford a few days splashing around in the waves and relaxing on the san that makes up our neighborhood. I feel such gratitude that I can zip down the beach road on a whim, as we did yesterday, with less than two hours to spare; we simply needed to swim in the sea. It was almost 100 degrees outside and the sun gleamed in a brilliant blue sky. So off we went, while Kai was at camp, to the beach.  The older two boys swam gleefully as I read Bread and Wine and dreamed of delicious meals to make my sun-kissed family for dinner. At one point I looked up and snapped this photo of my view. Then I pinched myself. This really is our home , our daily vacation spot, the place my boys have now lived for longer than anywhere else in their lives. We are living this beachy ...

Petals :: 52 Photos Project

Where I live the Bradford Pears have bloomed and blown and the Cherry Blossoms are in full blossom.  Even though that means our allergy season is now officially underway, I cannot help opening our windows every morning in hopes of hearing the birds singing to greet the day.  Springtime has conveniently coincided with my personal recovery process from knee surgery.  As I am slowly re-gaining mobility on crutches it seems an added encouragement that the weather is also improving and the trees are welcoming my return with their flowers. What a treat it would be to be able to put down my crutches in time for Easter Sunday and walk again on my own! (I am doubtful but one can hope.) Sharing with 52 Photos Project :: Petals
