The Gourmet Mama

We`re nearly to the end of April and I`m about to plant my rooftop garden. Here in Guatemala, we have access to fresh produce year round, but I know that for those of you living in cooler climates, things are just starting to sprout. Pretty soon you`ll be getting plenty of fresh veggies and berries and fruit from local farmers and we`ll be here with recipes and cooking techniques to help you turn out some amazing meals!

Now, on to some of the best recipes we`ve found this week on the blogosphere!

Let`s start with the desserts . . . if you have a sweet tooth and want something a little different, yet still elegant, might I suggest these wonderful looking Praline Vanilla Custards?

If you`re not into praline flavors, what about the oh-so-classic peanut butter and chocolate combo? Over at Orange Blossom Water, there`s a recipe for Magic in the Middles . . . chocolate cookies with peanut butter centers. Sounds like a match made in Heaven!

Impress your visitors with this spring inspired dish, Gnocci in Heirloom Tomato Sauce. It`s the perfect meal for guests and if you use frozen gnocci, you`ll have it whipped up in no time at all.

These cute little TMTs (Tuna Melt Tomatoes) are so simple and yet such a neat idea. Perfect for convincing your kids to eat some real food or as a side dish for family and friends.

And finally, whether you are vegetarian or not, tofu can be a great way to get some protein into your diet. Here`s a neat recipe for baked tofu that looks just scrumptious!
