- Asian Pork Meatballs | Loyal Olive Oil
These pork meatballs are so versatile. You can eat them as an appetizer with some dip, in coconut curry for a delicious soupy meal, over a bed of rice with sauteed veggies, and so many more options. These are moist and flavored with bold Asian flavors. Asian Pork Meatballs Active Time: 20 Minutes Start to Eat: 30 Minutes Makes: 35 Meatballs INTRODUCTION These pork meatballs are so versatile. You can eat them as an appetizer with some dip, in coconut curry for a delicious soup-y meal, over a bed of rice with sauteed veggies, and so many more options. These are moist, salty, savory and flavored with bold asian flavors. This makes a lot! Should you cut this recipe in half? That's up to you, but they freeze well and you will be happy you made the full amount when you want a quick meal. ALSO, you can use this same recipe (minus the breadcrumbs and eggs) for pork wontons! Grab life by the meatballs INGREDIENTS 4 lbs ground pork or shoulder/butt roast 1 large leek, chopped ¼ cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1 tablespoon chili oil 1 heaping tablespoon fresh grated ginger 6 large garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon fish sauce 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons black vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil ½ tablespoon red pepper flakes 2 tablespoons sesame seeds. (optional: plus more for topping) 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon pepper ¾ cup breadcrumbs 2 eggs INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 400°F. You can either use ground pork or grind your own. I would 100% recommend grinding your own, it makes the meatballs that much softer, but not problem if you can't! Mix all ingredients minus the eggs and breadcrumbs together in a bowl until combined. Add breadcrumbs and eggs, mix thoroughly. Scoop out golf ball-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional). Bake for 15 minutes or until they are browned on the tops and around the bottom. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, BON APPETIT! BON APPETIT! BACK TO SALTY
- Cinnamon Rolls | Loyal Olive Oil
There was a lot of trial and error but one day I had leftover beignet dough that I didn't know what to do with so I just rolled it out and made cinnamon rolls with it. OH. MY. GOODNESS. They came out so light and fluffy and full of amazing flavor, I'm so excited to share this recipe, it is a definite weekend go-to for me. LIGHT AND FLUFFY CINNAMON ROLLS Active Time: 25 Minutes Start to Eat: 2.5 Hours (Including Rest Time) Makes: 8 Rolls INTRODUCTION Personally, I was never a fan of cinnamon rolls or buns growing up, they were always so dense and doughy with soo much frosting. So I decided to make my own! There was a lot of trial and error but one day I had leftover beignet dough that I didn't know what to do with so I just rolled it out and made cinnamon rolls with it. OH. MY. GOODNESS. They came out so light and fluffy and full of amazing flavor, I'm so excited to share this recipe, it is a definite weekend go-to for me. Also, feel free to change up the flavors! I've added nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, etc. to the center and even sometimes to the dough itself. Get creative, it's your time to rise and SHINE! JUST ROLL WITH IT INGREDIENTS Dough: ¾ cup warm water 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast ¼ cup sugar 1 egg, room temperature ½ cup milk, room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 1 teaspoon vegetable oil Filling: ½ cup softened unsalted butter (plus more for the pan) 6 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons milk pinch of salt (optional) INSTRUCTIONS In a small bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Whisk it all together then let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast dissolves and starts to froth up. (if it doesn’t froth up, throw it out and start over). Add the egg, milk, and vanilla, and whisk to blend. In a large bowl, with a hand mixer or stand mixer with dough attachment, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and butter to the bowl, mix until well incorporated. When the dough pulls away clean from the bowl. (you may need to add up to 2 tablespoons more of flour to ensure the dough isn’t sticking to the bowl) remove the dough from the mixer and place it in an oiled bowl (oiled with a tablespoon of vegetable oil). Cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours. (You can place the dough in the fridge at this point for up to 2 days). **If you don’t have a warm area, turn the oven on to 200°F, place the bowl in the oven with the oven door open a crack then turn the oven off. Roll out the dough in a long rectangle about ¾ of an inch thick (roughly 14 x 8). Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle over the butter. Roll up the dough starting at the long edge. Cut into even slices about 2-3 inches wide. Coat a muffin pan with butter or you can use muffin cups or parchment paper. Place 1 slice of cinnamon roll per muffin cup then let the dough rise (about 40 minutes). Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for about 18-25 minutes or until the tops are slightly browned, err on the side of underbaking - you want them to be fluffy, not dried out. While the rolls are baking, Let’s make the glaze! In a small bowl, whisk milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. When the cinnamon rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle glaze over the tops. BON APPETIT! BACK TO SWEETS
- Pink Pickled Eggs | Loyal Olive Oil
I LOVE making these honestly all year long but they are perfect for holidays. The pink color stands out so much, it’s a crowd-pleaser and looks awesome in photos. Plus who doesn’t like eggs? Let alone sweet, tangy, salty, eggs. PINK PICKLED EGGS AND BEETS Active Time: 25 Minutes Start to Eat: 24 Hours Makes: 8 Eggs and 3 Beets INTRODUCTION I LOVE making these honestly all year long but they are perfect for holidays. The pink color stands out so much, it’s a crowd pleaser and looks awesome in photos. Plus who doesn’t like eggs? Let alone sweet, tangy, salty, eggs. These are perfect for devlied eggs too! They look beautiful filled and swirled. Make them for Mother's day, Valentines day, Christmas, or just a cozy Sunday! WELL, PICKLE ME PINK INGREDIENTS 8 large eggs 1/2 yellow or vidalia onion, sliced 3 large red beets ¼ cup of sugar ½ cup cider vinegar ½ cup red wine vinegar 8 whole peppercorns ¼ teaspoon allspice (or 4 whole allspice berries) INSTRUCTIONS Let’s hard boil some eggs! Fill a medium saucepan with water (the water should be about an inch above the eggs once you put them in. Bring the water to a boil, then place the eggs into the boiling water. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes. Drain the water, fill the pot (with the eggs still in it) with cold water and set aside. I usually add ice to the water to ensure they stop cooking - it also helps the “easy-peel” part of the eggs! First, let’s roast the beets because these take the longest. Preheat your oven to 400°F. I usually wear gloves when preparing or cutting beets because they stain your hands. So...cut off the greens of the beets and cut off the long tip of the beet as well. Scrub the beets in cold water until all of the dirt is gone (this is very important because you are going to use the juice from the beets and you don’t want to find any dirt in the juice). Place the beets in a small baking pan and add water to about ⅓ of the height of the beets. Cover with foil. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until fork tender. In a medium saucepan, combine the beet liquid, sugar, vinegars, peppercorns and allspice. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves; remove from heat. Let it cool slightly. Meanwhile, peel the eggs and place them in a large container (this is where everything will “pickle” in the fridge overnight). Place the sliced onion into the container. Next, cut the beets into 1 inch chunks (or however big you want them) and place them in the container with the eggs and onions. Next, pour the liquid over the eggs, beets and onions. The liquid should cover everything. If it doesn’t, it’s okay to add some water. Cover the container, and place in the fridge! I like to stir it up every 8 hours or so to make sure everything is getting evenly pickled. Beware of splashing because again, this will stain. You can prepare these 48 in advance and they last for 7 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Well ready to eat, serve them whole or cut them in half lengthwise to really make the pink and yellow contrasting yoke shine! BON APPETIT! BACK TO SALTY
- Cannoli Muffins | Loyal Olive Oil
Cannoli Muffins. The ricotta gives the muffin a wonderfully fluffy and moist texture. The demerara sugar gives it that crunch on the top and then the ricotta glaze and mini chocolate chips give it that classic cannoli look and flavor. Cannoli Muffins Active Time: 15 minutes Start to Eat: 1 Hour Makes: 6 Jumbo Muffins (or 12 regular) INTRODUCTION Cannoli meet Muffin, Muffin meet Cannoli. Last weekend I wanted to bake something for breakfast but I was really craving a cannoli so I thought to combine them and oh boy am I happy I did. The ricotta gives the muffin a wonderfully fluffy and moist texture. The demerara sugar gives it that sweet crunch on the top and then the ricotta glaze and mini chocolate chips give it that classic cannoli look and flavor. The only bad part? You have to wait for them to cool before eating them all. Holy cannoli INGREDIENTS MUFFIN: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (220g) 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons cornstarch 1/2 tsp salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 scant cup of granulated sugar (190g) 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 large egg, room temperature 1 large egg white, room temperature 1/2 cup whole ricotta (135g), room temperature 2 tablespoons milk, room temperature 1 cup mini chocolate chips 1/4 cup demerara sugar (or coarse sugar) for topping RICOTTA GLAZE: 1/3 cup whole ricotta (95g) 2 tablespoons salted butter (28g) 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted Dash of vanilla extract pinch of salt 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips INSTRUCTIONS In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl with whisk, combine melted butter and oil. Stir in sugar (it will look like wet sand). Next, add the vanilla, egg, and egg white and mix until well combined and smooth. Add in ricotta and whole milk and whisk until well combined. Fold in dry ingredients until almost combined. Add chocolate chips and continue folding until just combined. Next, cover the bowl with a clean, dry kitchen towel and let the batter sit for 15-20 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Fill a 6-muffin tin with batter all the way to the top, sprinkle each muffin with the demerara sugar. Bake for 8 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for another 15-17 minutes. Do not open oven door when lowering temp. The muffins will be slightly golden on the tops when they are done. While they bake, you can make the ricotta glaze! In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients until well combined, except for the chocolate chips. Although it will be hard, wait until the muffins have completely cooled in order for the glaze to settle on them correctly and for the muffins to have the ideal texture. The when you are ready to eat, dollop on the glaze, sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and enjoy! *If using a regular 12-muffin tin, your muffins will only need about 8-9 minutes on the 350 heat.

- Confetti Shortbread Cookies | Loyal Olive Oil
Shortbread was a cookie I grew into. When you're a kid, you tend to want cookies that are ooey, gooey, and full of chocolate...but the older I get the more I crave light, crispy, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread. What's even better? Light and crumbly shortbread cookies with rainbow sprinkles. These are fun, easy, and delightful with a cup of coffee or tea. CONFETTI SHORTBREAD COOKIES Active Time: 25 Minutes Start to Eat: 1 hour 45 minutes (Including Chill Time) Makes: 25 - 30 Cookies INTRODUCTION Shortbread was a cookie I grew into. When you're a kid, you tend to want cookies that are ooey, gooey, and full of chocolate...but the older I get the more I crave light, crispy, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread. What's even better? Light and crumbly shortbread cookies with rainbow sprinkles. These are fun, easy, and delightful with a cup of coffee or tea. Side note, if there is ever another egg shortage (crazy pandemic times)...these are eggless! WHATEVER SPRINKLES YOUR COOKIE INGREDIENTS Cookies: 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled ½ teaspoon salt 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) of unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup rainbow sprinkles (or desired amount) Drizzle (Optional): 8 ounces white chocolate chips 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter) INSTRUCTIONS In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, set aside. With an electric mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, in a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla. Add the flour mixture at low speed. Before flour is entirely incorporated, add sprinkles. Once the dough starts to come together, dump it onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into 1 or 2 flat circles (roughly 1.5-2 inches thick. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least an hour. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prep baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Roll the dough out ½ inch thick. Using roughly a 2 ½ inch round cutter, cut out circles. Place circles on the prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart (they will not spread). If desired, use the ends of toothpicks for button indent design. Bake cookies for 18-22 minutes or until the edges just start to get golden brown. Allow to cool to room temperature. While cookies cool, place white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heat in increments of 30 seconds, mixing between each turn, until completely melted and smooth. Using a spoon or whisk, sprinkle the glaze on the cookies. Allow the chocolate to harden then devour! BON APPETIT! BACK TO SWEETS
- Blueberry Tart | Loyal Olive Oil
Blueberry tarts and pies are some of my favorite spring and summer desserts. Cool, tangy, and refreshing lemony blueberry tart comes together quick and easy! Blueberry Tart Active Time: 35 Minutes Start to Eat: 3 Hours (Including Chill Time) Serves: 8-10 INTRODUCTION Blueberry tarts and pies are some of my favorite spring and summer desserts. Cool, tangy, and refreshing lemony blueberry tart comes together quick and easy! The simple bright berry filling sits in a flaky buttery crust. This is a perfect recipe for spring and summer celebrations like Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, and 4th of July! Tart Crust from Silver Palette : Sweet, Buttery Tart Crust. DON'T GO BREAKING MY TART INGREDIENTS Crust (from Silver Palate Cookbook): 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour ¼ cup granulated sugar ½ teaspoon salt 10 tablespoons (1 ¼ sticks) unsalted butter, chilled 2 egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons cold water Filling: 5 cups of fresh blueberries ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp water 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest 3 tablespoons lemon juice ½ cup sugar Pinch of salt INSTRUCTIONS Sift flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor or mixing bowl if using your hands or a pastry blender. Cut the chilled butter into pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse the processor until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Mix the egg yolks, vanilla, and water together in a small bowl, then add to the flour mixture. Pulse until JUST combined. Dump the dough on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough, then form into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 2-3 hours. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Place chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and, using a rolling pin, roll into a large circle (big enough to line your removable-bottom tart pan). Place the dough in the pan and form to the edges. Line the dough with foil or parchment paper, and fill with weights or beans. Bake for 8 minutes, remove the foil and weights. Prick the dough with a fork in several places. Bake for 4 minutes more. Remove from the oven, set aside to cool. For the filling: In a medium saucepan, bring 1/4 cup water and 1 1/2 cups berries to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally until berries begin to break down, 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water; stir into the simmering. Add lemon zest and juice, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, stirring, just until mixture begins to thicken, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining 3 1/2 cups of fresh berries. Immediately pour the hot berry mixture into the cooled tart shell, and smooth with a spatula. Bake the tart at 425°F for 10 minutes. Remove, let cool. This is also delicious cold! BON APPETIT! BACK TO SWEETS
