The Daily Eat: Strawberry Soup.

No joke – it’s really strawberry soup. And perfect timing since everywhere I go there seem to be strawberries on sale. One teeny, tiny problem: the site is entirely in Italian. I made an attempt at running it through a translator online, but that didn’t yield very good results. So if anyone does try this and manages to decode the recipe I’d appreciate a copy!

The Daily Eat: Jamie’s Coconut Cake.

Let me preface this by saying that I’m not a big fan of the coconut.

Last weekend I made this ridiculously amazing three-layer coconut cake by Paula Deen. I’ve never tried any of her recipes before, but coconut cake is my mom’s favorite and this was for her birthday. Therefore, I was overruled. And I’m glad I was because as I said earlier – it was a-maz-ing. Super moist and not too coconutty (contrary to it being coated in the stuff). In fact, I’m thinking it could be the base for a lot of cake experimentation using the cake recipe as a base…

The Daily Eat: Zucchini Risotto.

My lunch will actually be mushroom risotto this afternoon (thanks to the company since we’ve been putting in so many long hours). This Zucchini Risotto’s been on my Must Try list for quite some time though. It has less butter than your average risotto and no wine, cutting down on unwanted calories exponentially.

The Daily Eat: Creamy Key Lime Pie.

I’m not a pie lover with the exception of Key Lime Pie. There’s just something about the tart/sweet combination and that strong citrusy lime flavor topped with freshly whipped cream that does it for me. All I know is that I’ve never met even a one I didn’t like and that it screams Summer! to me which is really fitting for this Memorial Day weekend.

The Daily Eat: Pop Up Pancakes.

Thanks to Scrubs the word “brinner” is now a permanent part of my vocabulary. (Breakfast for dinner = brinner) I think given the option I’d prefer to eat breakfast food for dinner – it just seems to taste better. Or maybe it’s just that my tastebuds are awake by then. These Pop Up Pancakes are a great idea – imagine all the possibilities of what you could fill them with.
