Raspberry Crostini with Ricotta, Honey & Walnut

April 24, 2015 By Cat Elsby Leave a Comment

 

raspberry crostini

Hi all, Cat from The Rustic Willow here again! I hope everyone is having a delightful spring. If your weather has been anything like Colorado’s then you’re probably experiencing sunny, 70-degree weather one day, and snow the next. My body, my lawn, and my car are so confused! Once we all start adjusting to the warmer weather, the snow swoops in and ruins our hopes and dreams.

Although I have mixed feelings about the weather of Colorado, I definitely don’t have mixed feelings about this recipe I whipped up to show you all. I’m always looking for simple breakfast ideas that stray away from the normal bacon & eggs breakfast. And this breakfast blew my socks off.

There’s nothing I love more than bread. Seriously–I think bread in everything is just phenomenal. So, having this lightly toasted bread was good enough for me. And then I topped it with creamy ricotta cheese, fresh raspberries and crushed walnuts. To finish it off I drizzled honey over everything.

The creaminess of the ricotta mixed with the sweetness of the raspberries, the crunch of the walnuts, and the deliciousness of the honey was so refreshing and scrumptious.

Pistachio Orange Asparagus

Orange Pistachio Asparagus

I’ve been on an orange and pistachio kick lately – two of my favorite flavors.

I firmly believe the old adage that we eat with our eyes first so I always pay special attention to presentation.  I don’t like to serve anything that isn’t appealing to the eye.

Asparagus is a beautiful spring vegetable and one of the easiest side dishes to prepare. Pistachio Orange Asparagus takes my favorite roasted veggie to a whole new level.  The orange juice and grated peel adds a refreshing citrus note and the intense flavor of the toasted pistachios combines wonderfully with the tangy citrus flavor of the orange.

When prepping asparagus, always snap off the woody ends and discard.  If you’re in doubt of how far up the stalk to go, bend the asparagus spear and it always breaks at the correct place.  To save time, I grab a few spears at a time, stems in one hand and the woody end in the other and just snap away.  It doesn’t take long at all.

I think it’s safe to say that spring has officially sprung.

Because of this, I’m on the hunt for all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

As the days get longer and warmer, I find myself craving more whole foods, especially those of the vegetable variety. And since we’ve got a newborn at home, I’m on the lookout for simple recipes to make in a flash since I don’t have as much time on my hands for cooking these days.
