Ceviche with Coconut and Mango

A perfect appetizer for the hot summer days!  It’s chilled, super flavorful and the best part… you can make it ahead of time.  Sure you can make a simple citrus ceviche, but why not add some exotic flavors like coconut and mango!! 🙂  I promise this is the best summer appetizer you’ll serve this season.

Blackberry Galette

Isn’t it oh sooooo pretty?!?!  I love making galettes!  Main reason why I love it so much, there are no rules when it comes to making galettes.  I kinda feel like a little girl making arts and crafts with playdoh.  Time and time again, I will catch myself humming while making the folds… haha.

Onion Tart

Soooo… it’s a random Thursday evening and I’m alerted that we are having guest over…. NOW!  Before I could say who/what/when… I hear the buzzer going off.  Urrrrgghh! Times like these, I always go semi-homemade.  I also almost always go with pre-made puff pastry…. as my sister says “it is your knight in shining (egg-wash glistening) armor.”
