Recipe - Pistachio Shortbread Cookies Dipped in White Chocolate:

2 sticks of butter, room temp

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 cups GF all-purpose flour

1 cup pistachios, chopped & without shells

4oz white chocolate (for dipping)

Add the sugar and beat together with the butter. Just beat until combined and no more, we don't want to incorporate any air here.

Add the flour and mix until it starts to form clumps and looks like large chunky breadcrumbs. Ditch the spoon and use your hands to bring it together into a smooth dough.

Roughly chop the pistachios and add ⅔ of them into the shortbread dough. Reserve the other third of them to sprinkle on top later. Use your hands to knead the pistachios into the dough so they are evenly dispersed. Don't overwork the dough.

Shape the dough into a log shape, and chill in the fridge for an hour. Bake on a cookie sheet with parchment paper for 12-18 mins at 350 degrees. 

While they’re baking, melt the white chocolate and then dip the cookies about half way once they’re cooled. Immediately sprinkle with the leftover pistachios you reserved earlier. Let them set (about 5-10 mins), and enjoy!

Enjoy my Innkeeper’s London Fog French Toast. 

For the dredge:

4 large eggs

2 Tbsp coconut sugar

2 tsp vanilla 

2 Cups whole milk

4 Earl Gray tea bags (I use Lady Grey to bring some citrus notes into the mix!)

Loaf of Brioche Bread

Steep the milk with the tea bags in it for about 5-6 mins & let it cool before adding it to your egg mixture. I like to squeeze the tea bags into my whipped topping for a little extra boost of that tea flavor, but you do you!

Berry Compote:

2 Cups blackberries 

2 Tbsp water

1/4 Cup granulated sugar (can also use Monkfruit to sweeten for a healthier alternative!)

Juice from half a lemon

Add it all together in a pot, and bring to a rolling boil. I usually let mine simmer the whole time I’m making the French toast, so approximately 25-30 mins :) Make sure it has time to get a little gooey!

Recipe Notes!

Alright, so today we chatted about our Sourdough English Muffin open-faced sandwiches.

Start with Sourdough English Muffins, and cut them in half - I buy them from the grocery store, not homemade.

Place your cheese and prosciutto on the English muffin, and put in the oven until cheese is melty (about 10-15 mins on 350 degrees). I use Merlot cheese, but a smoked gouda or cheddar is also delicious!

I top with a sunny-side up egg, some arugula & microgreens with some salt & pepper. Paprika is also a good addition here.

Watermelon Honey Lime Fruit Salad:

2 Cups Watermelon

2 Cups Blueberries

Juice from 1/2 a lime

2 Tbsp of Honey

Mint leaves for garnish

Mix altogether & enjoy!
