Geeeez, I feel like I've been neglecting my blog and anyone who likes checking out my foodie news. So, last night, after getting my second wind, I happily dove into this wonderful recipe from Bon Appetit . . . these key lime cupcakes have a bright summery limey flavor and a moist yet fluffy texture. The cream cheese frosting (I LOVE cream cheese frosting)..... is flecked with finely grated lime peel and it's the perfect combo with these green beauties. Move over coconut cupcakes...I think I might have a new fave.
OK - so here's what else I cooked this weekend... Asian style grilled salmon on a bed of lightly dressed spinach on Saturday nigh
t . . . served with grilled yellow summer squash and onions. I also tried a few skewers of pancetta wrapped shrimp, with tomatoes and onions. marinated briefly and grilled. Pretty tasty. Yesterday, I made some herb infused olive oil (don't you LOVE summer?), a spicy and meaty ragu with porcini mushrooms, hot Italian sausage and chunks of tender beef. I bought some lovely artisan pastas at the Butler Pantry in Saugatuck on Tuesday and this homemade fusilli was screaming for a slow cooked meaty sauce . . . we pigged out, needless to say. A grape tomato salad happily welcomed the herb oil, fresh mozzarella and a chiffonade of fresh basil. Basil makes me happy.
I really need to get to work now. Love you! Katie ~ ~ ~ E-mail me for recipes or feel free to click on the Bon Appetit link for the cupcake recipe (do a search for key lime cupcakes)....Also, check out the Butler Pantry link for some wonderful kitchen finds.
