Mosaic Mondays 14

Mosaic Mondays Logo

It’s been waaaaaaaay too long since I’ve done a Mosaic Mondays post…

1. First things first, I want to wish you a very Happy New Year!!! Make this year your best ever. <3

Chocolate Chip Banana Cookie Dough Truffles

2. Did you check out my other blog (Healthy Sweet Eats) yet? It’s all dessert recipes, all the time, but I’ve made them using real, whole, nourishing foods. And bonus, everything is gluten-free, grain-free, and naturally sweetened! Check out my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Banana Truffles.

3. When I was putting together my Healthy Sweet Eats site (side note: I went with Shay Bock’s Foodie Pro theme and love it – but that’s another story for another day), when it came time to deck out the blog with widgets I scoured the web and found a really helpful article. If you’re interested, check out The Best WordPress Plugins for Food Bloggers on Shared Appetite.

Green Juice

You know your day will be great when it starts with green juice and an owl mug that says “don’t forget to be awesome.” :)

4. Do you juice? I’m pretty new to juicing (I only started last summer), but for the past 6 months I’ve been making some variant of green juice 5 to 7 mornings each week. It’s a great, truly energizing and revitalizing way to start the day. If you’re new to juicing, Gina’s Guide to Juicing on Running to the Kitchen is a great article, and if you’re an old pro looking for more ideas, take a look at Coreen’s Homemade Juice Cleanses on The Food Click.

5. Have you seen the blog Bea’s Cookbook? Her recipes are as nutritious as they are delicious (I want her Quinoa, Halloumi, and Pomegranate Winter Salad!) and her photography is gorgeous. She has a real talent for setting a mood with her photos (take a look at her Fluffy Soufflé Omelette with Pear and Honey).

Small Batch Whipped Cream

Small Batch Whipped Cream

6. I shared this tip on Instagram a while ago and wanted to share it here as well…if you want to whip up a small amount of cream, add the cream to a glass jar (like a mason jar or jam jar), cover, and shake shake shake! (It’s perfect if you just need a dollop for topping hot cocoa.)

7. What do you want to see more of on An Edible Mosaic this year? More main course recipes, reviews, easy casserole recipes, giveaways, lunchbox recipes, vegan dishes? Whatever it is, I’d love to hear from you. (And if you have a specific recipe suggestion you’d like to see, send that my way as well!) Feel free to leave a comment below or email me to keep it private.

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
#ad If you're looking for an easy baking project t #ad If you're looking for an easy baking project that's perfect for spring, Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies are it! 🌿 These cakey vanilla-scented cookies are frosted with colorful buttercream and decorated with sprinkles. (Tip: Swap out the colors and they're perfect for any season!) I like to scoop the dough, but you can also roll it out and stamp out the dough with cookie cutters to customize them even more.
 
I used @egglandsbest eggs in this recipe! Compared with ordinary eggs, EB's eggs have 6 times more Vitamin D, more than double the Omega-3s and vitamin B12, and 10 times more vitamin E. How can you tell you are using EB egg? Look for the “EB” stamp right on the shell. 🥚

This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.

If you're craving soup before the weather starts w If you're craving soup before the weather starts warming up where you live, this Butternut Squash Soup is perfect. 💙🧡 It's rich and creamy with warm spices and a touch of brown sugar to bring out the butternut's natural sweetness. And the best part is that it's made in the Instant Pot and only requires 15 minutes of hands-on prep time! Recipe is on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/instant-pot-butternut-squash-soup-recipe/
