#recipes!

Awee thank you, Nonnie!

You’ll need:

1 package of puff pastry (or make your own, I’m lazy!)

1 8oz (around 227 grams??) container of whipped cream cheese (or you could use a softened block)

1 egg (for egg wash)

1/4 cup sugar (32 grams)

1/2 teaspoon (2.84 grams) vanilla extract

Strawberry jam

Strawberries for topping (I made six pastries with half a strawberry on top, you could dice them if you want? It’s just what you enjoy!)

Instructions:

1- Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth

2- put your puff pastry out onto a lightly floured surface and cut into desired size. I made medium squares by cutting each sheet into four squares!

3- with your cut squares, put a dot of water in the middle (to hold the dough) and then take each corner and pull it to the center. The water will help ‘glue’ it in place

4- in the center of the dough (where all the corners meet) put a mini spoonful of strawberry jam, top with cream cheese mixture (holds the jam in) and then top with strawberry

5- brush egg wash on the rest of the pastry

Bake at 400° (I think that’s 204°C) for 15-20 minutes

2 and ½ cups flour

½ tsp salt

The juice of 1 and ½ navel oranges

3 Tbsp of orange juice

The zest of 1 and ½ navel oranges

The zest of ½ navel oranges

3 Tbsp orange extract

1 cup butter

3 Tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener

1 and ¼ cups sugar

½ tsp baking powder

One egg

Preheat oven to 350°f

Beat one egg, extracts, butter sugar, and flour, add juice of 1 and ½ oranges and zest of 1 and ½ oranges.

Sift in dry ingredients and combine.

Split into 32 parts.

Flatten each segment into a disk.

Put on a parchment lined pan.

Bake for for 9-11 min.

While cookies are baking, mix monk fruit sweetener with a Tbsp each of orange juice and orange extract.

Once cooled, glaze cookies and top with a pinch of orange zest.

hi! thank you!

ummmm i do 3/4 chai and 1/4 milk (usually unsweetened oat or soy) and a few teaspoons of maple syrup to sweeten! I usually have it iced unless it's really cold out, but it tastes great either way! below is the stuff I throw together and simmer to make chai from scratch if I have time-- but otherwise I use a brand called Chads Chai which I think is pretty good

2 cup water

2-3 teaspoon black tea (I use tea bags)

2 cardamom pods

1 clove

1 good knob of ginger, sliced

¼ teaspoon black pepper

cinnamon stick
