So it has been a while since I have blogged, and given that tonight is the first night of spring break I thought I should celebrate by making some desserts that I created tonight (very much so on the spot) and blogging about it! So tonight Em is spending the night here...about 10:00 pm Lauren got my taste buds going by making some pitas with feta, black olives and parsley. So we loaded up, went to Walmart and bought our basic ingredients. Whole Oats, Chocolate, Plantains, Strawberries, Raspberries, and Hickory Swiss/Cheddar Cheese.

| Thankfully my beautiful sister agreed to help me out a little with the cutting of the strawberries! |
 |
| I love this kind of stuff... |
 |
| Ok so the first thing I decided to make was pan fried Plantains with Hickory Swiss/Chedder cheese garnished with strawberries and a white wine reduction with strawberries and fresh cranberries! The Plantains were not ripe enough so it wasn't as good as it could have been, but it was still pretty good. I fried the plantains in a little butter and sprinkled a little sugar on them while the were frying to take a little of the bitterness out. Then I topped them with the cheese, strawberries and topped them off with the wine reduction. |
 |
| This is the wine reduction after it was done cooking. I just strained the amount I needed for plantains out and left the rest there for the time being. It was delish!! |
 |
| Lets just say...we enjoyed them... =) |
 |
| Secondly I made two different kinds of Chocolate crumble things. I don't really know what to call them. haha |
 |
| So both of these are the same except the one on the left has raspberries in it and the one on the right has strawberries. They consist of Whole Oats pan toasted with a little bit of butter, cinnamon and sugar. Then mixed with the individual fruits and the melted chocolate. Then I spooned them on to some wax paper, stuck them in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then garnished the strawberry one with a piece of kiwi and a little powdered sugar on top of both for color! And that has been my evening! Quite wonderful in my opinion! See ya soon! |
