Tomato Mozzarella Salad in Parmesan Basket

This is a fun and easy recipe that looks so gourmet. You can really impress your friends with this one! To make the Parmesan basket, sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese onto the Silpat forming 5-inch circles. Sprinkle Parmesan circles with crushed pecans. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven when they turn a golden color particularly around the edges. Allow to cool for about one minute. Keep a close eye on them. If you wait too long they will break and not be soft enough to mold. Flip over your Texas muffin tray and lay the Parmesan circles on the cups to form a basket. Press to form scalloped edges. Let cool and then turn over and you now have a Parmesan basket. For the salad I mixed ripe tomatoes cut into small chucks, mozzarella pieces, and parsley. I drizzled this with olive oil and then salt & pepper to taste. Invite some friends over and enjoy some tomatoes and parsley from the garden!

Brownie Delight with Vanilla Ganache

This was really simple to make. I used a Betty Crocker Brownie mix. Then I made a Vanilla Ganache instead of chocolate for the color contrast. To make the Ganache I used 1 part heavy whipping cream to 2 parts vanilla chips. Bring whipping cream to a low boil, remove from heat and stir in chips. My Demarle Difference Petite Sauce pan should be arriving this week and I can't wait to try it out with this recipe. For a quick and easy gourmet looking dessert try this out tonight!

Tasty Fruit Tart

Today I made my first ever fruit tarts. These are simple and oh so delicious. The tart crust is made of sugar cookie dough and the cream is made from cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice and lemon extract. Wow, my family loved them. I can't wait to bring them to a party!
