Using Edible Flowers in your party desserts, drinks, salads and even main dishes adds a unique element to your celebration. They add color, elegance, a bit of whimsy, and also have an interesting range of tastes.
Search for what is in season in your area – your local farmers’ market is a great source for finding out what is available and they’ll often have much more variety than the grocery store. Always ask vendors how their flowers are grown (you don’t want to eat flowers that have been sprayed with pesticides!). You can also order edible flowers (fresh or crystallized, which are great for using atop desserts) from several sites online (Gourmet Sweet Botanicals).
There’s nothing that beats homemade lemonade…except adding strawberries to the mix! I’ve recreated a childhood favorite, added fresh strawberries and sweetened with juicy delicious dates to make this your new favorite drink.
This tart is one of my favorite winter desserts. It’s filled with spiced pears, placed atop a soft layer of cashew cream, all wrapped in a sumptuous, buttery shell.
These Spring Roll Bowls have bright, colorful ingredients. According to the food pyramid, we should consume up to nine servings of vegetables and fruits each day. You can eat your rainbow of colors with this satisfying, tasty bowl!
This amazing Macadamia Nut Coconut Granola is delicious AND healthy. Packed with nuts and seeds, healthy fats, and iron, it’s gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and vegan. It’s delicious any time of the day. I love it on top of yogurt or smoothie bowls. There are so many ways to use this delicious granola.
After some oven time, these mini tarts are flakey, golden brown, and summer-licious. They are crisp, flavorful, satisfying, and SO easy to make! The tomatoes do all the work, when it comes to making these sweet tarts, and they are quite the lookers, as well!!
