things ive made in my kitchen recently

I think I can confidently say I spend 40% of my time in my kitchen. Which is saying a lot because I usually try to spend all my free time outside of my house. The first two plates were for my friend’s birthday. I surprised her with an evening dinner/movie night. The menu included two appetizers, dinner, and dessert.

For starters, I made a veggie hummus plate with bell peppers, cucumbers and pretzels. It was super easy and a great alternative to a charcuterie board.

The second plate is Honey ricotta peach crostini topped with crispy prosciutto, basil and a balsamic glaze. I know this sounds complicated but it is truly so easy to make. All you need is to cut a baguette, toast the slices in some olive oil for about 2 minutes on each side. For the ricotta, you only need to mix in a little bit of honey for flavor. (I didn't measure anything but I’d say 1 cup to 1 tablespoon) Thinly slice your peaches. Tear small pieces of the prosciutto and fry for a few minutes. There's really no need to cook it; it's more for the texture. Last step is to assemble!

These tiramisu cookies were baked on a different evening, and oh my god were they GOOD.

They have the perfect chewy texture with just the slightest hint of coffee. Thank you to Justine Dorion for the recipe. It's listed on her website Justinesnacks.com.
