Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp

We have a rhubarb plant in our back yard & we love it! I am always a bit sad when we have used all of the rhubarb from out plant. Looking outside today I see some more stalks of rhubarb which is great because there is a Rhubarb Coffee Cake I want to make! One of my families favourite recipes is this Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp.

Canned Tuna with Curry

Canned Tuna with Curry is delicious! I grew up eating tuna sandwiches on white bread with some Old Dutch plain potato chips. Absolute comfort food for me. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a simple tuna salad. Sometimes if my mom was getting fancy she would dice up some Celery to add to the tuna & that was good too. But…Canned Tuna with Curry is fantastic & you may never go back to plain mayo again!

Gazpacho!!

Fresh tomatoes are everywhere right now. The crops are in & this is one of many delicious ways to use them! I went to my local farmers market yesterday & asked them for ripe tomatoes that they had behind the table..since most people don’t want to buy soft ripe tomatoes unless they are planning on using them right away. I wanted to make this cold tomato soup NOW so needed those tomatoes ripe & juicy!

Lemon Currant Scones

I love scones. Crispy on the outside, flaky inside. There is a trick to making a good scone I think. Not too much handling of the dough. Like a pie crust. I am not an expert but I like to make them & keep them in the freezer. When I want to eat one, I just pop it in the microwave briefly so it is just defrosted & not over-done.

Dasha’s Cottage Cheese Pie

An old family recipe for a cottage cheese ‘pie’ baked in a square pan…so not really a ‘pie’ but not a square either! This recipe has a cake like bottom, cottage cheese filling & cake like top… slightly sweet but not too much sugar…baked to a golden brown. But it isn’t really a cake either! You will just have to make it & decide what to call it yourself!!
