Strawberry Bites - Honeyed Ricotta

If you are anything like me, you LOVE to entertain but HATE the fuss. Actually, my favourite dinner parties are those that are completely impromptu with only an hour or two to think about what to make and to prep.  The expectations of “perfection” are gone and the casualness factor is increased.This delicious strawberry and cream recipe fits the bill - easy to prepare and delicious after a big meal.  If you make some extra brittle in Step 1, you will have also a few extra treats to spread out in little candy dishes.  Yum!

Banana Chocolate Chunk Tahini Ice Cream

If you are craving something sweet but want to stay off the rich stuff, this is your recipe. It is simple, delicious and it will definitely hit the spot! It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids and calcium. The cinnamon will help keep your blood sugar stable.

Ice Box Cookies

These little cookies are exactly what they sound like. This batch makes over 150 cookies! But the best part of the recipe is that you only need to bake 1-2 dozen at a time, the rest of the dough stays in the freezer until you want a fresh batch of cookies. These cookies are perfect for a party. My grandmother used to make these for my kids when they were little and they loved them and so did all their friends.

1-2-3 Easy, Flaky, Dairy-Free Hamentashen Dough

Hamentashen are my favourite cookie all-around. I make them with several kinds of dough—using butter, or cream cheese, or sour cream. But this one is my go-to. I love this dough for its ease and because it is foolproof. Even though it’s dairy free, it is not heavy and the flavour is delicious. It is easy to roll out (great for warm hands and little kids) and needs little refrigeration (which is a huge bonus when you have a near-immediate craving for hamentashen—um, always, duh). This recipe was adapted from Leah Koenig’s Modern Jewish Cooking. I highly recommend (almost insist) that you weigh your flour to be sure you use the right amount. If you measure it with a measuring cup, be sure to lighten up the flour with a fork or spoon and then spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with the back of the knife. A standard cup of flour should weigh 130 grams. If you dip your measuring cup into a densely packed bag of flour, you are likely using ¼ cup too much flour per cup, which will make the dough very dry and it will crack when rolled out.
