It’s true. The Rubies team has gone and brought back the banana to their stunning line-up. And it’s going by the name of Top Banana, Ketchup. If I’m 100% honest, I was 100% skeptical. And 100% certain I needed to try it right away. Fortunately for me, I did, and with no less than a platter of freshly baked sweet potato fries. And it 100% works.
Coffee concentrate is a more concentrated coffee, crafted using the cold brew method. I’ll let HER – pun intended – get into the nitty gritty with you. But I will tell you that as a non-coffee drinker, I blew my own mind with this Coffee-BBQ Sauce-Glazed Roasted Butternut Squash. [And I mean that as humbly as possible]. But, actually. It is so, yummy. And so party-season appropriate.
While I’ve not yet decided whether or not I’m quite ready for the frosty weather, (not that autumn cares), it has given me another idea for using up this rather large quantity of carrots I’ve somehow landed myself with. (And turmeric, well, because I've been consuming it in abundance to ward off the masses of cold-infected humans that suddenly surround me).
If I could compote all the fruit in this fashion, I would (for flavour AND bestover inducing qualities). But I can't. Even with 2 fruit compotes - served at the nibs etc. popup atop nut butter and a Juice Pulp Breakfast Loaf - I still ended up with leftovers. That needed rescuing. Fast. So I tossed it all into a cake, shoved it in the oven and crossed my fingers...
As it turns out, for a first-time-maker, hesitant-fan, of gazpacho, I’m rather a fan of this recipe; it beautifully salvages the season’s overripe strawberries, greens included, uses up a handful of day-old bread, keeps refrigerated or frozen, quick AND easy make ahead meal, perfectly refreshing in summer, won first place in last week’s canapés contest and last but not least, is a PROVEN gazpacho converter [myself included, now a huge fan, unbiased I promise].
