// Maple Peanut Brittle Gelato

In the thick of it for our upcoming Canada Day holiday weekend with more maple luxuries: Maple Peanut Brittle Gelato, with a sprinkle of finely crushed peanut brittle added to my original maple base. How many ways can we say addicting? A limited seasonal flavour to kick off our water-ful summer ahead. *Allergy warning: contains peanuts! And thank you! for continuing to respectfully wear a mask and observe our social distancing protocols on pick up. Happy Sunday afternoon. 🍨 More behind the scenes after the jump. Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

// Baked Italian Meatballs

Warm, juicy, and cozy all the way. One of our easy weeknight favourites, especially when our weather is all over the place and the sunny stability we so desire seems fleeting. 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs?' No heavy sauce, gravies, or glaze simmering needed. Enjoy bite-sized pieces with a condiment side serving of warmed organic ketchup, or light homemade dip. And I'm convinced they're even more delicious when baked in a baking dish. Recipe follows...

// Rhubarb & Ginger Granita

An end of spring and early summer beat-the-heat icy treat: Rhubarb & Ginger Granita, and I'd add more on the horizon... This simple granita was so much fun especially as it was the first time I 'worked' with the garden rhubarb. There's always much excitement with new recipe experimenting and my market rhubarb did not disappoint, celebrating with me during the process. For a slight 'zing', I added a little fresh ginger during the stove top simmering, and here we are a few hours later. Refreshing and delightfully delicious! And such a cheery colour.
