Blueberry Banana Smoothie

Servings: 2

Ingredients

1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen-if using fresh, add some ice)

1 Banana (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup milk of choice (Depending on the desired thickness of the smoothie you may want to modify the amount of liquid added. Less liquid = thicker smoothie; more liquid = thinner smoothie)

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to blender.

2. Blend until all ingredients until mixed. Approximately 30seconds. Add more liquid (either more milk or water) depending on desired thickness. Smoothies are flexible! Feel free to add what you have on hand

   *NOTE: It helps your blender if you put softer ingredients closer to the blades and hard, frozen ingredients furthest from the blade. This means if you’re using a traditional blender where the blade is on the bottom, load your smoothie with the fresh, soft ingredients on the bottom, putting ice/frozen items on the top, furthest away from the blade.

Rhubarb Rolls

Ingredients

Dough

2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (spoon & levelled)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 and 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Platinum Yeast or any instant yeast (1 packet)

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup water

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1 large egg

Filling

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

4 cups rhubarb, chopped into ½ inch pieces

1/3 cup sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extractIcing

1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted (sift after measuring)

2 Tablespoons milk or heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together in a large bowl. Set aside.

2. Combine the milk, water, and butter together in a heatproof bowl. Microwave or use the stove and heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm to touch (about 110°F). Pour into the dry ingredients, add the egg, and stir until it forms a soft dough or use your mixer.

3. On a lightly floured surface using floured hands, knead the dough for 3 minutes. Place ina lightly greased bowl, cover loosely, and let rest for about 10 minutes.

4. Fill the rolls: After 10 minutes, roll the dough out in a 14×8 inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter on top. Mix together the rhubarb, sugar, and vanilla. Sprinkle it all over the dough. Roll up the dough tightly. Cut into 10-12 even rolls and arrange in a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Some pieces of rhubarb will fall out: don’t worry! Just pick them up and sprinkle them on top of the rolls in the pan.

5. Rise: Tightly cover the rolls with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free environment for 60-90 minutes.

6. After the rolls have sat to rise, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 50-60 minutes until rhubarb has released some juices, is bubbling, and softened. The rolls should also be lightly browned. If you notice the tops are getting too brown too quickly, loosely cover the rolls with aluminum foil and continue baking.

7. Make the icing: Whisk the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together.Drizzle or spread over warm rolls.

8. Cover leftover frosted or unfrosted rolls tightly and store for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Vegetable Fritters

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds vegetable(s) of choice

1 large egg

1/2 cup grated or crumbled cheese

1/4 to 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour, if gluten-free)

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs, or 1 teaspoon ground spices

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

Dipping sauce (optional)

1. Grate root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato on the large holes of a box grater. Grate and drain zucchini and summer squash. Chop and steam cauliflower and broccoli florets. Cut corn off the cob.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg thoroughly.

3. Squeeze handfuls of wet vegetables, like grated zucchini, to remove excess liquid before adding them to the bowl with the egg.

4. Add the cheese, 1/4 cup of flour, herbs, spices, garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl.Use a spatula to mix everything together so that it's evenly combined.

5. Test the batter: Check to see if you can form a patty in your hands and it holds together. If not, add a little more flour to the mixture.

6. Heat the oil and add the batter: Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan, preferably cast iron or non-stick, over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, flatten it slightly with a flat spatula, and continue dropping more batter, leaving about 2 inches of space between the fritters and being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

7. Let the fritters cook undisturbed until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties with the spatula and cook until browned on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes more.

8. Remove the fritters to a paper towel-lined large plate. Repeat making the fritters.

9. Transfer the fritters to a plate and serve warm, at room temperature, or cold with a dipping sauce of your choice, if using.

Rhubarb Lemon Curd

Ingredients

½ cup lemon juice

4 cups rhubarb, roughly chopped

2 cups water

Zest from one lemon

1 large egg

2 large egg yolks

1/4 cup granulated sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Begin by making the rhubarb juice: place chopped rhubarb and water in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Cook until the rhubarb is softened, and juices are released. Strain the mixture into a small bowl. Keep the pulp for use in muffins or mix with honey for a perfect yogurt topping!

2. Transfer the rhubarb juice to a measuring cup to cool and stir in the lemon juice and zest.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, yolks, and sugar. When the juice has cooled to room temperature, whisk it into the egg mixture in a steady stream.

4. Set a clean bowl with a strainer over the top next to the stove.

5. Pour the egg and juice mixture back into your small saucepan and set it over medium heat. Stir slowly but constantly until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency — about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture is 180°F.

6. Strain the mixture into the clean bowl to remove the zest and any bits of cooked egg. Stir in the butter and the pinch of salt while the curd is still warm. Mix until smooth. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.

7. Use this curd on top of French toast, as a filling for crepes or a tart, stirred into yogurt, and more!  There are so many options.
