Blueberry Cornbread Ice Cream

August 23, 2020 No Comments

I know everyone is jumping into Back to School season with both feet but I’m not done with summer. As long as heat warnings remain a constant in my life so too shall ice cream. So while it’s usually best to stay ahead of the curve in the content creation game, autumn is a curve I don’t mind being behind. Even when I’m suffering from heatstroke or sporting a particularly painful sunburn, you won’t find me wishing the summer away. And why should I? There’s still plenty of summer left in this calendar year. So let’s make this Blueberry Cornbread Ice Cream while the sun shines – the pumpkins can wait.

Peanut Crusted Tofu with Cold Kimchi Noodles

Summer is winding down but no one told the humidity that. If I could use one word to describe Toronto’s current climate that word would be “swampy”. So if there was ever a time to bust out a bowl of cold noodles, it’s now. I’ve been down this road before. This time a couple of years ago, I was slurping on a cool bowl of chilled noodle soup. But this year I ditched the soup, swapped the noodles for Cold Kimchi Noodles (Kimchi Bibim Guksu), and found some Peanut Crusted Tofu. This isn’t just noodles, this is a bountiful bowl of spicy pickle-y peanut bliss.

Every year I overload myself with summer recipes I want to test, photograph, post, and share. And every summer I find myself in a race against the calendar to get them all ship-shape and blog-ready before everything gives way to pumpkins and pecan pie. There is so much produce to play with during the summer and so little time. So every year, I leave this season with food-related regrets. Missing sour cherry season this year really burned my biscuits. But one thing I did not miss was pea season. And out of the numerous peas-related adventures I embarked upon this year, these Marinated Sweet Peas with Back Bacon and Burrata were my very favorite.

S’more Alfajores with Dulce de Leche Ganache

A traditional alfajor cannot be improved upon. Alfajores are, in my opinion, the perfect dessert. They have melt-in-your-mouth cookies, a creamy, complex, and gooey center, and they can be rolled in shredded coconut. Essentially they pluck at all my heartstrings. So you may be wondering why I would ever choose to alter them. Well, it’s certainly not to elevate them, as I mentioned above, this South American delicacy is the pinnacle of cookie perfection. I decided to introduce s’mores to the classic alfajores because I thought it would taste good. Seriously, that is the only reason. And you know what? I was right. But do these S’more Alfajores beat out the original? No, I wouldn’t say they’re better, they’re just different and variety is the spice of life.
