This post is sponsored by my friends at Lindsay Olives who now make a delicious line of almond butter!

I’m definitely not one who bakes a lot unless it’s a gluten free mix from a box. Two reasons: I’m just not that into figuring out how to get the right texture and consistency with the gluten and grain free flours. It never seems to compare to the real deal to me. Secondly, I don’t really eat that many sweets or carb-y type things at home….

Boozy Maple Bourbon Marshmallows

December 3, 2016 By Natasha Leave a Comment

Boozy Maple Bourbon Marshmallows

 

I love me a good Old Fashioned drink, and so these boozy, adulty marshmallows were born. Bourbon is kinda my jam right now. And by kinda, I mean I’m literally bourboning ALL the things lately… I made bourbon baked chicken thighs, rosemary and vanilla bourbon spiked nuts, and these boozy maple bourbon marshmallows. And I probably won’t stop here!

I had to test these several times until I got it right, and third time was a charm. First I cooked the bourbon in the maple/water mixture and I couldn’t taste any booziness in the marshmallows. Next, I added the bourbon to the mixing bowl while the marshmallows were whipping. Big mistake. The taste was there, but they totally fell flat and wouldn’t whip. Finally, my friend Nichole told me I should bloom the gelatin IN the bourbon. DUH! These came out PERFECT!…

Chocolate Mint Chip Ice Cream

Chocolate Mint Chip Ice Cream

chocolate-mint-chip-ice-cream

I always say I’m not that big of a dessert fan. EXCEPT for when it comes to chocolate and ice cream. Especially chocolate mint chip ice cream on a hot summer evening. Ice cream is my dessert weakness. And the hard part for me, is finding a really good ice cream at the store that isn’t loaded with sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup and crappy ingredients. So, obviously, I was left with no choice but to buy an ice cream maker and start making my own, DUH! My friend, Megan, from The Recipe for Healing, is always making us ice cream after we get done with our walks. So, basically, my new found ice cream making obsession is her fault ;)…

Luscious Paleo Lemon Curd

Luscious Paleo Lemon Curd

Lemon curd.

Paleo lemon curd.

I think I’m addicted.

In fact, I don’t think I’ll be waiting until Springtime to make lemon curd anymore.  This is so tasty and delicious and can be put on ohhhh so many things!  Allllll the things in fact!  You can enjoy it very simply as I’ve shown above just topped with some fresh berries.  I had some blackberries in the refrigerator, but any berry would be wonderful! I can’t wait to go get some strawberries, raspberries and blueberries to try out with this curd.  Imagine spreading this luscious lemon curd on scones, pancakes, waffles, layering it in a trifle with berries and whipped coconut cream, or just eating it solo with a spoon!

I have made traditional lemon curd before, although it’s been awhile, and it was so yum.  This time I made it paleo by subbing out the white sugar and replacing it with raw honey.  I also opted to use ghee rather than butter this time around.  My favorite ghee is made by OMGhee, however you can make it at home yourself, or use butter (Kerrygold grassfed butter is my pic!)

I also wanted to try out cooking the curd in a circulating water bath, commonly known as sous vide.  This method allows for a steady temperature during the entire cooking time with no need to stand over the stove stirring the custard.  I used my amazing Nomiku immersion circulator and based my temperature and cooking time off of their blog post here.

SECRET INGREDIENT: I decided to add in some fresh grated ginger to really help the lemon flavors POP! The amount I used was subtle enough that even if you aren’t a ginger lover like I am, you will still like this.  I will probably double the amount I use in my next batch to make it more pronounced.  Because I can never have too much ginger!
