Ricotta Orange, Cardamom Pound Cake

March 25, 2014 by Ariel 2 Comments

Ricotta_Orange_Cardamom_Pound_Cake_1

Ohhh pound cakes…  It’s so easy to do and so comforting.  Before this one, I had never made pound cake myself but I always bought slices at the cute little coffee shop down the street.  Some people call it pound cake, other bread.  As far as I’m concern, I could easily put it in the same family as the banana and walnut bread or even the Anastasia bread I made last year.

Although the only difference is that this batter create a much softer cake/bread compare to the two other ones.  It has the feeling of a little pillow in your mouth, thanks to the ricotta and the added egg white.

I hope you’ll also enjoy this orange and cardamom mix.  It’s a new obsession of mine (I seem to develop obsessions pretty easily).  I recently made a tapioca pudding flavored with orange blossom flower and cardamom and it was out of this world!  Definitely a match of flavor to remember for future recipes.

On this, enjoy this soft and silky ricotta, orange & cardamom pound cake with a nice cup of tea as a fun afternoon snack or as a desert topped with ice cream!

Have a great Tuesday everyone 🙂

PS:  You can even toast it and add butter on it.. it’s divine! 😉

Sweet & Salty Cajun Roasted Almonds

February 2, 2013 by Ariel 4 Comments

I always have nuts laying around in my house.  Either roasted with spices or just raw, I love them all.  It’s a great and healthy way for me to get a boost of energy and make sure I eat all your good fat and control my blood sugar to get me through the day at the computer or on the go at a photo shoot.  I’ve been wanting to show you all the great recipes you can do with my homemade cajun spice blend but didn’t had much time as you can probably see by the number of updates on the site.  So this morning I decided that enough was enough and I had to shoot at least one recipe!  Good news, I ended shooting 3 new recipes including this one so make sure you don’t miss the next updates because they are going to be delicious 😛

Ok enough chatting and more recipe right?  I hope you’ll enjoy this simple snack that can be eaten on the go or maybe while you’re watching the football game on Sunday? 😉

Garlic & Rosemary Crackers

May 5, 2012 by Ariel 2 Comments

I love making salty things to snack on.  I used to think that homemade crackers wouldn’t taste as good as the store bought ones but I rapidly changed my mind the second I tried those amazing Garlic and Rosemary crackers.  The recipe is super easy and very customizable the second you have a bit of imagination.  Hope you enjoy like 🙂
