Recipe: Tri-Color Venetian Cookies

I make these every year for Christmas/New Years. They come out amazing and they’re eye-catching and delicious. They are not simple to make and will take you at least 3 hours usually between the cooking and cooling and pressing and mixing and so on. They also cost are some of the most expensive cookies to make by batch due to the almond paste, jam, large amount of butter, almond extract, and that chocolate for the top. The recipe makes 40-50 cookies but I always double it to make it easier to work with the batter.

Since we’re busy packing and about to move in our new place we’re cleaning out our fridge which means a lot of stir fry, omelets, and eating very boring food!

There’s plenty of recipes that I went to try when I move in to the new place though and since the cooking has been boring, at least the linking can be interesting (I hope!). Expect a menu and CSA report on Tuesday like usual though <3

Lemon Risotto – I have a weakness for risotto and haven’t made it in a while. I will probably change up the veggies in this recipe and maybe the flavors but this looks pretty solid and easy.

Enchiladas – I have never eaten or made these – yikes! I’m definitely over due on that.

Carrot and Chicken Stew – We get fantastic carrots in tons of varieties from our CSA and this sounds like a great way to them all.

Chicken Tortilla Soup – Just looks heavenly doesn’t it? Nice and cozy!

May add more to this list over the next few days but those are my culinary plans so far. ’til next time!

Recipe: Lasagna Soup

This is my first new recipe since January which is nice and embarrassing on my part but at least I got off the ground right? This soup is an interesting twist on an old favorite. It’s hearty and warm. Pictures are thanks to my new phone which is also a camera making it easier to share images quickly!
