Blueberry Lemon Tiramisu

Bosan dengan tiramisu klasik, dan kebetulan ada sekaleng blueberry pie filling yang tidak jadi dipakai membuat cake ulang tahun untuk suami bulan Mei lalu, saya coba resep dari Paula Dean. Sangat simple, tidak usah menyalakan kompor atau oven. Dessert lembut dan ringan tersedia untuk potluck hari minggu ini. Sayangnya tidak ada kesempatan foto setelah diiris. Sepertinya polesan lemon pada lady finger perlu ditambah sedikit lagi, lemonnya hampir tidak berasa. Lumayanlah untuk sesekali, meskipun rasanya ringan tapi sumber kolesterol dan lemak juga hehe..


Blueberry Lemon Tiramisu


Ingredients

  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream ---- whipping cream biasa -- yang heavy-nya habis di super market, bagus juga sih jd mengurangi lemak.
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 pound mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
  • 3 (3-ounce) packages unfilled ladyfingers
  • 1 (6-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed ----- saya ganti dengan Lemon
  • 1 (21-ounce) can blueberry pie filling
  • Fresh mint leaves, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, beat cream with an electric mixer at medium speed until thickened. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Gently stir in cheese until combined; set aside.

Split ladyfingers in half. Line a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish with ladyfingers, cut side up. Brush ladyfingers with limeade concentrate. Spoon half of cheese mixture over ladyfingers. Top with half of blueberry pie filling. Repeat procedure for the next layer with remaining ladyfingers, lemonade, cheese mixture, and pie filling. Cover and chill 8 hours.

SUN - DRIED TOMATO & SPINACH SPAGHETTI

Yesterday just before I went to Boston, I stopped by to a local farm market to buy sun dried tomato, spinach, and bell pepper. I was planning to make pasta with those ingredients the next day.There was Italian food in my mind. Apparently my pastor and family treated us Italian Food at a restaurant near their house for celebrating the head of the family's birthday. It was a nice experience enjoying different kind of pasta. Yummmy....

Today I tried to mix those healthy ingredients..Hope they will turn out good...though will not taste as good as Italian restaurant where I went yesterday ^_^.


1 box whole wheat thin spaghetti
1/2 onion julienned
2 tbs minced garlic
1 orange bell pepper julienned
Baby spinach 10 oz
sun dried tomato about 0.3 lb, cut lenghtwise into 2 or 3 pcs
basil -- prefer fresh, but I don't have it, i ended up using dried basil.
garlic powder
salt
pepper
shredded cheese
canola oil --- I plan to use olive oil, but got no chance to buy it :-(


Direction :
- cook the pasta according to the package until al dente (be firm to eat), drain the water
- while the pasta is still hot, toss with some oil, garlic powder and basil powder, salt
- Heat some oil , saute onion and garlic until become soft, throw the bell pepper, sun-dried tomato, spinach. Stir fry them about 2 minutes.
- put the spaghetti into the saute mixture
- serve while still hot
- sprinkle with shredded cheese


By the way, everybody loved it....included my husband.
Veggie can be tasty and good while we give enough seasoning.
And no one noticed it was 100 %whole wheat pasta.

Perkedel Kentang Kornet

Setelah beberapa kali menonton program Foodnetwork TV, Semi Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee yang resepnya banyak menggunakan produk-produk kemasan instant atau produk setengah jadi untuk memasak, saya jadi teringat satu blog memasak yang mencoba membuat perkedel kentang dengan menggunakan bubuk kentang instant/ Instant Mash Potato Flakes. Saya lupa alamat blog itu. Dua minggu lalu saya mencoba membuatnya. Hasilnya enak...dan yang paling penting banyak langkah (menggoreng/mengukus kentang dan menghaluskannya) yang terlewati sehingga perkedel dapat cepat tersaji. Bumbu yang digunakan seperti bawang merah dan bawang putih goreng saya gunakan yang siap pakai juga. Benar-benar jalan pintas untuk menikmati perkedel.


Bahan :
Bubuk kentang instant
Air
Bawang merah goreng dihaluskan
Bawang putih goreng dihaluskan
Irisan daun bawang
1 Kaleng kornet
Garam
Merica
Bubuk Pala
Putih telur


Cara membuat :
Karena baru pertama kali mencoba dengan bubuk kentang ini, yang menjadi patokan saya adalah mencampur bubuk ini dengan jumlah air yang dikurangi dari pentunjuk kemasan.
Misalnya kemasan meninstruksikan mencampur dengan 3 cup air, kita coba mencampurnya dengan 2 cup air dulu, baru jika kurang lembek tambahkan air sedikit lagi.

Kentang halus instant ini dicampur dengan semua bumbu dan kornet. Bentuk bulat pipih, celupkan ke putih telur dan goreng dengan minyak dan api sedang.

Fresh Roll

Since last summer I've planned to make fresh roll.
But in the middle of Fall season I could make it. Late summer roll ^_^
But I think it was good for balancing my meaty Korean barbecue.

Fresh & healthy to eat...Quick and easy to make

Ingredients :
Rice Paper
English Cucumber
Carrot
Mung Bean Vermicelli
Cilantro

Direction :
Wet rice paper with some warm water (...not too long, or else it will get too wet and easy to break)
Put the veggie and vermicelli on top of wet rice paper, wrap it thigh.

Many times I use peanut sauce for eating this roll, but this time I chose sweet and sour chilli sauce.
