Delectable Recipes: {Vanilla Caramels with Sea Salt}

{... hello! after a brutal and shockingly stressful re-entry at the office, am looking forward to a relaxing weekend and giving this recipe a try... by the way, I completed reading this book and am on the fence on whether to recommend it... although a quick read and fascinatingly descriptive timeline into the art world, I found the main characters lacking in appeal... next, perhaps this book, which I'm told is wonderful...hope you had a wonderful week and have exciting plans for the weekend, xo}

Delectable Recipes: {Tea Sandwiches}

{... thrilled to be hosting and organizing a baby shower in two weeks' time for my eldest daughter... as a vegan, I will be adding other sandwiches to the menu, but these are definitely a must... with a variety of cookie cutters and breads, who wouldn't love these combinations: Pea mash with Mint, White Radish, Olive Oil, and Black Sea Salt on Rye Bread (egg shape); Blue Cheese, Pear, Violas on Mixed Grain Bread (open faced square); Tomato, Avocado, Salmon, on Brioche (circle shape) and Cucumber, Goat Cheese, Sea Beans, and Flowering Broccoli on Rustic White Bread (open-faced organic loaf shape)...yummy!}

Delectable Recipe: {Framboise de luxe}

{Funny way to start a Monday {to post about an alcoholic drink}, but given the experience with blogger last week and now to have to log into Google Cloud in order to upload my pictures, which are not stored there, thereby restoring to the old method of uploading pictures {i.e., one at a time}, I am not amused to say the least. Maybe I'll mix this specialty drink tonight! Have a wonderful Monday!}

Framboise de luxe (photo and recipe from here.)


Recipe:
Crush raspberries and pour into a shaker with Vodka, syrup and ice cubes. Shake vigorously, pour into cocktail glasses carefully adding Champagne into each glass.

Delectable Recipe: {Cranberry Tarts}

{Hello, and welcome! I feel like baking so I stumbled upon this recipe... of course, I will veganize it. I have to apologize again... I am having a severe (the worse in three years!) blogger's block... if I'm not back before the weekend, have a special one. Linda, xo}

Delectable Recipe: {Winter-time Vegetable Soup}

{Hello! Am finally back home from a short weekend trip to Montreal which was spent mostly in a hockey arena (nephew's tournament)! Although they lost, which meant we returned Saturday night, they played well and had a great time. Today is a beautiful, bright sunny day which started this morning with a light snowfall... this lovely recipe will be made for tonight's light supper... have a wonderful Sunday!}
