Coconut chicken tenders with apricot sauce

COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS WITH APRICOT SAUCE

If you like sweet and sour dishes like me, this one will make you drool.  I like chicken, but it can get a bit boring and bland… especially chicken breasts or tenders.  What I like about this recipe is that it is actually very quick to make and it uses a few ingredients that I…

Potato Gnocchi with Taleggio and Orange Fondue

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH TALEGGIO AND ORANGE FONDUE

PEAR ICE CREAM IN PEAR WAFER BASKETS WITH SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

Pear is one of my favourite fruits.  I love the fact that it comes in many different varieties and that every season has its own special pear.  I love that they are naturally sweet and refreshing.  Even though I like them so much, I had never made ice cream with them.  The other day I…
