Chocolate Budino (Italian Chocolate Pudding)

Chocolate budino will blow any pudding recipe out of the water!! Budino is similar to pudding, but it’s made with lots and eggs and no cornstarch. I’m not too fond of recipes with corn starch at the thickener because it tends to be super thick and have a chalky aftertaste, even when cooked properly. Well, my friends, the Italians know what they are doing. Budino is Italian’s version of pudding, and it is rich, thick, and packed with flavor.

Strawberry Tart with Wish Farms Pineberries

This strawberry tart is the prettiest summer dessert! It may look extremely impressive and intricate, but it is surprisingly easy. It’s the Wish Farms Pineberries that really make this dessert special. The lovely pink color adds a soft, almost vintage, look to the tart. The Pink-A-Boo® #pineberries got their name as a nod to the traces of pineapple flavor that, combined with tropical notes of strawberry, pear and apricot, give them their unique taste.

Mushroom Tacos

We eat a lot of tacos in our house. I mean, a lot. I like to change it up based on what I need to use up in the fridge. We have been eating more plant-based in our house, at least for a few nights out of the week. Mushrooms are a perfect way to fill the void of meat because they are savory, earthy, and meaty in texture. I love anything with mushrooms and I am always looking for recipes that give me an excuse to eat them. My husband ate these and was blown away at how good they were! Mushroom tacos are vegetarian-friendly, and great for an easy weeknight dinner, especially on taco Tuesday!
