Brazilian Carrot Cake makes a perfect spring time Brazilian Carrot Cake makes a perfect spring time dessert. 🐰🥕🪺
Fresh carrots gives this cake its natural orange color. Topped with a rich chocolate ganache, this is hands down my favorite cake of all time! My husband introduced me to this 🇧🇷 cake (aka Bolo de Cenoura in Brazil) when we first met and it may or may not be the reason I married him 🙃

This cake recipe comes together so easy in a blender. Yes, a blender! 

Ingredients:
* 11 oz carrot chunks
* 3 large eggs
* 1.5 cups of sugar 
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/3 cup of milk, any kind (I use my homemade cashew milk)
* 3/4 cup of olive oil
* 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, sour cream, or crème fraîche
* Pinch of Salt
* 2 cups of all-purpose flour, sifted
* 1 tablespoon of baking powder, sifted
* 1 teaspoon baking soda, sifted

* 1 can, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
* 2 tablespoons unsalted or salted butter, I prefer salted
* Splash of milk

1)Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
2)Blend carrots, eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth (20–30 sec).
3)Pour into a bowl, whisk in oil, then sift in flour, baking powder, and soda. Mix until just combined.
4)Pour batter into pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5)Cool 20–30 minutes, loosen edges, and invert onto a rack.
6)For brigadeiro: cook chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over medium-low, stirring until thick (about 10 min). Add milk if needed.
7)Place cake on a platter, pour brigadeiro over, and in the center to make a chocolate pool. Let set before serving.

Grilled Romaine with blue cheese, candied pecans, Grilled Romaine with blue cheese, candied pecans, and champagne vinaigrette paired with @ranchersdaughtersreserve grass fed top sirloin 👌🏽

I wanted to recreate this salad I had years ago at @yardhouse -one of the most impressive combinations that I can’t stop thinking about even after all these years. And I had to pair it with my favorite Kauai grass fed beef for some added protein. 

Grilling the romaine gives it a nice charred flavor paired with creamy blue cheese and sweet candied pecans, and elevating it with a champagne vinaigrette… I can’t even explain how this taste just trust!!!

I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!

Ingredients:
1 head of romaine lettuce
Blue cheese 
Candied pecans
Champagne vinaigrette(I use Girard’s)
1 10 oz top sirloin steak
Olive oil 
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons avocado oil
garnish with fresh thyme. 

Romaine:
-wash, dry and cut in half
-brush with olive oil
-sear each side on medium high for two minutes and set aside

Top Sirloin:
-Bring to room temperature and sprinkle fresh, grated sea salt, and black pepper on both sides
-Coat with olive oil
-Heat a neutral oil like avocado oil on high in a cast iron skillet.
-For medium rare, sear one side for three minutes then brown the edges. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Chicken cutlet salad 🍗🥗 A juicy, crispy frie Chicken cutlet salad 🍗🥗
A juicy, crispy fried chicken cutlet topped with your favorite salad and a squeeze of lemon. It’s hard not to get addicted to this one! 

Ingredients
Cutlets:
1 chicken breast cut in half and flattened 
1/3 cup each: AP flour, heavy cream, panko breadcrumbs 
2 cup avocado oil 
Seasoning:
1tsp each: salt, ground, black pepper, mustard powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder.
Salad:
Romaine lettuce thinly sliced
1/2 shallot thinly sliced
Chopped parsley
Caesar dressing
Grated Parmesan 
Lemon wedges

1)cut the chicken breast in half and flattened with a meat tenderizer. Cutlet should be 1/2 of an inch or less thick.
2)season each side with seasoning mix
3)set up your dredging station and completely coat each cutlet with flour, heavy cream, then panko. Let’s sit for at least 15 minutes for the coding to adhere.
4)heat oil on medium high until 375F. Carefully place each cutlet in the oil and let cook for about three minutes on each side until the crust has become golden brown and chicken has internal temperature of 165F.
5)remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate. Immediately sprinkle salt. And let cool for 5 minutes.
6)Combine all salad ingredients and place desired amount on top of chicken. Top with freshly grated Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.

* I’ve been using heavy cream as a substitute for egg wash, and I must say I like it better. It tenderizes the chicken a little bit more, leaving it juicy and soft. But if you don’t have heavy cream, you can use an egg wash.

Brazilian Carrot Cake makes a perfect spring time Brazilian Carrot Cake makes a perfect spring time dessert. 🐰🥕🪺
Fresh carrots gives this cake its natural orange color. Topped with a rich chocolate ganache, this is hands down my favorite cake of all time! My husband introduced me to this 🇧🇷 cake (aka Bolo de Cenoura in Brazil) when we first met and it may or may not be the reason I married him 🙃

This cake recipe comes together so easy in a blender. Yes, a blender! 

Ingredients:
* 11 oz carrot chunks
* 3 large eggs
* 1.5 cups of sugar 
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/3 cup of milk, any kind (I use my homemade cashew milk)
* 3/4 cup of olive oil
* 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, sour cream, or crème fraîche
* Pinch of Salt
* 2 cups of all-purpose flour, sifted
* 1 tablespoon of baking powder, sifted
* 1 teaspoon baking soda, sifted
* A pinch of salt
Chocolate Brigadero Ganache:
* 6 ounces of semi sweet chocolate 
* 1 can, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
* 2 tablespoons unsalted or salted butter, I prefer salted
* Splash of milk

1)Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
2)Blend carrots, eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth (20–30 sec).
3)Pour into a bowl, whisk in oil, then sift in flour, baking powder, and soda. Mix until just combined.
4)Pour batter into pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5)Cool 20–30 minutes, loosen edges, and invert onto a rack.
6)For brigadeiro: cook chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over medium-low, stirring until thick (about 10 min). Add milk if needed.
7)Place cake on a platter, pour brigadeiro over, and in the center to make a chocolate pool. Let set before serving.

Grilled Romaine with blue cheese, candied pecans, Grilled Romaine with blue cheese, candied pecans, and champagne vinaigrette paired with @ranchersdaughtersreserve grass fed top sirloin 👌🏽

I wanted to recreate this salad I had years ago at @yardhouse -one of the most impressive combinations that I can’t stop thinking about even after all these years. And I had to pair it with my favorite Kauai grass fed beef for some added protein. 

Grilling the romaine gives it a nice charred flavor paired with creamy blue cheese and sweet candied pecans, and elevating it with a champagne vinaigrette… I can’t even explain how this taste just trust!!!

I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!

Ingredients:
1 head of romaine lettuce
Blue cheese 
Candied pecans
Champagne vinaigrette(I use Girard’s)
1 10 oz top sirloin steak
Olive oil 
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons avocado oil
garnish with fresh thyme. 

Romaine:
-wash, dry and cut in half
-brush with olive oil
-sear each side on medium high for two minutes and set aside

Top Sirloin:
-Bring to room temperature and sprinkle fresh, grated sea salt, and black pepper on both sides
-Coat with olive oil
-Heat a neutral oil like avocado oil on high in a cast iron skillet.
-For medium rare, sear one side for three minutes then brown the edges. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Chicken cutlet salad 🍗🥗 A juicy, crispy frie Chicken cutlet salad 🍗🥗
A juicy, crispy fried chicken cutlet topped with your favorite salad and a squeeze of lemon. It’s hard not to get addicted to this one! 

Ingredients
Cutlets:
1 chicken breast cut in half and flattened 
1/3 cup each: AP flour, heavy cream, panko breadcrumbs 
2 cup avocado oil 
Seasoning:
1tsp each: salt, ground, black pepper, mustard powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder.
Salad:
Romaine lettuce thinly sliced
1/2 shallot thinly sliced
Chopped parsley
Caesar dressing
Grated Parmesan 
Lemon wedges

1)cut the chicken breast in half and flattened with a meat tenderizer. Cutlet should be 1/2 of an inch or less thick.
2)season each side with seasoning mix
3)set up your dredging station and completely coat each cutlet with flour, heavy cream, then panko. Let’s sit for at least 15 minutes for the coding to adhere.
4)heat oil on medium high until 375F. Carefully place each cutlet in the oil and let cook for about three minutes on each side until the crust has become golden brown and chicken has internal temperature of 165F.
5)remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate. Immediately sprinkle salt. And let cool for 5 minutes.
6)Combine all salad ingredients and place desired amount on top of chicken. Top with freshly grated Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.

* I’ve been using heavy cream as a substitute for egg wash, and I must say I like it better. It tenderizes the chicken a little bit more, leaving it juicy and soft. But if you don’t have heavy cream, you can use an egg wash.
