#porchdrop

The last item that I ordered as part of my #porchdrop from @strongarmbaking two weeks ago is something that I’ve never had until now. This is a Butterscotch Trifle. Unfortunately you can’t really tell from the photo, but it’s made with #butterscotchpudding , which in itself contains #localdairy , #caramelizedsugar , #scotch and #vanilla . Then, the #pudding is layered with #buttermilk #yellowcake that has been soaked in #amaretto , and topped with the #freshlymade #whippedcream that you are seeing in this photo. I cannot accurately describe just how #delicious this is. It’s truly a #decadent , and #rich #dessert that I will buy again the next time it’s on the menu. #2021 #butterscotchtrifle #dessert #food #march #strongarmbaking #strongarmbakingco #strongarmbakingcompany #yum #yummy #yummyfood (at Henderson, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMdJhlEBZ8B/?igshid=12lb7396rox9c

I’m almost done with my posts from my March 1 #porchdrop from @strongarmbaking . You’ll be seeing the last two (this is one of them) today. One of my favorite #desserts is the #lemonbar . There’s something about the #sweet #tangy taste profile that pleases my taste buds and makes me happy. These are great as a snack or at the end of a meal. They are #refreshing and definitely remind me of the Summer days that I love so much. #2021 #dessert #food #lemon #lemonbars #march #strongarmbaking #strongarmbakingco #strongarmbakingcompany #yum #yummy #yummyfood (at Henderson, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcaQV_h6rf/?igshid=1u57k2ljozso3

I couldn’t get a #porchdrop without getting a few #sweets . I actually bought a few and I’ll be posting the rest of them soon. This one was actually the first thing I tried from this past Thursday’s order. The Cream filled Empanada. It’s a #buttery , #flaky and #soft #pastrydough that is filled with a fresh #vanilla #creme . The pastries are baked and then rolled in #cinnamonsugar . My first thought when biting into one of these was: “It feels and tastes like a fluffy cloud of flavor.” They are easily one of my favorite #desserts from @strongarmbaking . I’m buying more as soon as they are back on the porch drop menu. #2021 #creamfilledempanada #dessert #empanada #empanadas #food #march #strongarmbaking #strongarmbakingco #strongarmbakingcompany #vanillacreme #yum #yummy #yummyfood (at Henderson, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNwVTGh1Ww/?igshid=1h00mhdxd25b

This past Thursday, I received my latest #porchdrop from @strongarmbaking . This was the first time I’ve placed an order since last year. The menu for the week was Mexican themed and y’all know how much I love #mexicanfood . King Ranch Casserole is sometimes referred to as a “Mexican Lasagna,” and this is the second time I’ve purchased this one. Imagine #shreddedchicken and #spinach simmered in a #greenchiligravy and then layered with #corntortillas and heaps of #cheddarcheese . The flavor combinations are amazing. It’s so #delicious that I’ve been having it for #dinner for the past four nights in a row, and I’ll be finishing it off tonight. #2021 #food #kingranchcasserole #mexicanfood #mexicanlasagna #strongarmbaking #strongarmbakingco #strongarmbakingcompany #yum #yummy #yummyfood (at Henderson, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKfPqeBeG9/?igshid=1dzr91cvk5nb1

Here’s the #bonuspost that I mentioned last night. Of course, it’s all about #dessert .This is the final item that I purchased from @strongarmbaking for this past week’s #porchdrop . They call this one the “Mexican Chocolate Chip Cookie,” (4 in each bag). It’s a #darkchocolate #cookie with #toastedpumpkinseeds , #cayennepepper , and #darkchocolatechips baked inside. This marked the first time that I’ve ever had a cookie with cayenne pepper inside. It compliments the dark chocolate very well, and adds a #spicykick that enhances the #sweetness of the cookie 🍪. The cookie itself is a little bit #crunchier than my palette personally prefers, but it’s still a #delicioustreat , and it’s great with a glass of milk too. #2020 #cookies #decadence #food #mexicanchocolatechipcookie #october #strongarmbaking #strongarmbakingco #yum #yummy #yummyfood (at Henderson, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHEe8pQBF65/?igshid=aq5is0yt2sv1

This was my #dessert that was part of my #porchdrop that was delivered by @strongarmbaking this past Thursday. The Crema Catalana Crossaint is filled with their version of Crema Catalana a traditional spiced custard from Northern Spain. First the #crossaint itself is freaking huge!!! Yes, it really is as big as the plate I put it on. It is #buttery , #flaky and #light . The #custard inside has notes of #anise , #cinnamon and #orange . It’s deliciously #creamy and #smooth . Full disclosure: I bought two of these. The one you see pictured here was consumed directly from the pastry box on Thursday night after #dinner . I refrigerated the second one and ate it after dinner tonight. The refrigerated one was even more flaky and gave the custard inside a refreshingly cool bite. I’m not quite done yet. There’s one more post coming tomorrow to finish all of this off. #2020 #cremacatalana #cremacatalanacroissant #decadence #food #october #strongarmbaking #strongarmbakingco #yum #yummy #yummyfood (at Henderson, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHB22Nch-Jc/?igshid=61vuds3t0jx1

This was the #sidedish that I received yesterday as part of my #porchdrop from @strongarmbaking . I sampled it last night during #dinner . Jicama Lime Coleslaw is made with #fallcabbage , #limejuice , #chilis , #jalepenos , #jicama and #dukesmayonnaise . Until last night, I had never eaten jicama before, nor have I ever had #coleslaw made with lime juice. The juice adds the perfect bit of #citrusy #sweetness to compliment the #crunchy #earthiness of the jicama. The chilis and jalapeños add a nice #spicykick too. Tomorrow night, find out what I had for dessert. #2020 #food #jicamalimecoleslaw #october #strongarmbaking #strongarmbakingco #yum #yummy #yummyfood (at Henderson, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_JZgRBBNl/?igshid=10kt48qz78zpd

I have ordered a weekly #porchdrop from @strongarmbaking every week for the past month, and I look forward to the delivery every #thursday . This week’s menu is Mexican themed, I’m assuming because Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) begins on Sunday. This was my dinner tonight: King Ranch Casserole. It’s #corntortillas layered with #spiced #confitchicken , #spinach , #greenchiligravy , #redchilisauce and #cheddercheese . They describe it as a “Mexican style lasagna,” and it really is. All the #flavors blend beautifully. It’s a #flavorexplosion . Keep watching. I’ll reveal my side dish and dessert as we end the week. #2020 #casserole #dinner #food #kingranchcasserole #mexican #october #strongarmbaking #strongarmbakingco #texmex #yum #yummy #yummyfood (at Henderson, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG8qD7DhY9_/?igshid=7l48cawa2jbk
