One of my friends recently moved to LA and tried out a placed called The Hart and the Hunter she then informed me that they have the BEST peanut butter marshmallow cookies. Since she knows I love peanut butter and marshmallow she sent me a few cookies and immediately I fell in love, and knew I had to recreate the cookie. Below you’ll find my version of a peanut butter and marshmallow cookie you definitely do not want to pass up!

Chocolate Ombré

Ombré is all the rage right now from fashion to hair you’ll find it everywhere. This past weekend was cold and damp; ideal weather for experimenting in the kitchen. I made a devils food cake, frosted it in a crumb coat and used a round tip to pipe on ombré teardrops. I couldn’t of been happier with the results and the recipient of the cake even thought it came from a bakery.

Step 1: Hold your pipping bag with a rounded tip at a 90 degree angle. Give pressure to create a circle, be sure to continue to hold the tip right into the frosting.

 Step 2: Pull straight down and create a teardrop shape.

 I did two rows of each shade and then dots around the bottom of the cake to complete the look.

Spring Salad

During the cooler months I am more inclined to gravitate towards comfort foods, instead of produce. I find winters produce to not only be pricy, but on the bland side. Now that spring has arrived (it was 57 yesterday) I am back on my salad kick. One of my favorite salads to make is my mum’s springtime salad. A bed of spinach leaves blanketed with mandarin oranges, strawberries and pecans topped with a homemade sweet and savory sesame dressing.

For the dressing: 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds and 2 teaspoons minced onion.
