Meyer Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf with Lemon Vanilla Glaze #BrunchWeek

May 12, 2017 By Aly 1 Comment

This Meyer Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf with Vanilla Lemon Glaze is a must for the brunch table. A cross between a quick bread and a pound cake, this moist and rich bread is packed with lemon flavor with a hint of vanilla and perfect slathered with jam or on its own.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

One of my favorite recipes to make is a quick bread. No fuss, a few ingredients and in a little while you have a delicious bread to enjoy with coffee or on its own. Whether it’s my Mexican Chocolate Loaf Cake, my Blueberries and Cream Quick Bread or even my Harvest Bread, quick breads are always a delicious brunch recipe. However, the perfect Lemon Loaf has always escaped me me. I often go to that coffee shop that we all frequent from time to time and they have this iced lemon loaf that tastes heavenly. Well – no more because I finally found the best lemon quick bread recipe – this Meyer Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf with Lemon Vanilla Glaze. It is packed with lemony flavor, is moist yet a bit dense, and drizzled with a sweetly tart glaze….

Memorial Day is just around the corner and with that comes summer fun, get togethers and, of course, outdoor entertaining. One of my favorite things to bring to a summer picnic or potluck is a delicious salad recipe and this Cape Cod Chicken Salad with Honey Yogurt Dressing is not only delicious, packed with flavor, but also a bit lighter thanks to a tangy and sweet Honey Yogurt Dressing.

OXO sent me their new 14 Piece Glass Bake, Serve & Store Set and I can’t tell you how smitten I am. I often use glass storage for various dishes and I love the clean look of these dishes. Look at everything you get in this set!

I am crossing a bucket list recipe off my list today – a Foolproof Homemade Lemon Curd.

Making lemon curd from scratch has been on my culinary bucket list for quite some time. I love love LOVE lemon curd – especially to whisk into my yogurt in the morning (like in these fave Lemon Berry Yogurt Crunch Parfaits), in the center of my favorite Lemon Meringue Muffins or for a quick dessert when guests come over. There’s nothing like some pound cake with a touch of lemon curd and dolloped with a bit of limoncello kissed whipped cream. Seriously – it’s all about the lemon in my house….

I have a delicious recipe that will warm y’all right up – this scrumptious Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup.

One of the challenges I face is when one has leftover rotisserie chicken, what do you do? There’s only so much chicken salad that a gal can make. Faced with a partial leftover chicken taking up valuable real estate in my refrigerator, I thought “Soup”. However, I was not in the mood for my normal Southwestern Chicken soup. My tried & true recipes were not an option and add a case of the winter blahs and I found myself in a winter recipe rut….

Enjoying Summer Produce with #OXOGreensaver And A Fresh Cucumber Salad Recipe

May 31, 2015 By Aly 5 Comments

This Fresh Cucumber Salad, packed with crisp summer produce and tossed with a lemony herb vinaigrette, is perfect for summer entertaining.

Disclosure: I was sent an OXO Greensaver pictured above to assist with the post as well as fresh cucumbers from Melissa’s Produce. I was not compensated for this post. As always, my opinions are my own. In addition, this post may contain affiliate links to products I adore and trust in my kitchen. Thank you for supporting Cooking In Stilettos.

I have the perfect picnic salad that y’all are going to love today – a Fresh Cucumber Salad that will have your friends and family swooning!

One thing I adore about the summer is the bountiful fresh produce to be found everywhere – whether it’s at the local grocery store, the farmstands that are on the roadsides or farmer’s market. There’s so much culinary inspiration to be found. One thing I do not like – my small-ish apartment fridge that can get packed to the brim with ingredients, various dishes or recipe components and the day to day. I often joke that it sometimes can be “Jenga” when you open the door so I tend to proceed with caution.

One thing I detest about my fridge – if something goes wonky, it can affect everything. Fresh berries sometimes turn quickly which can be the sounding bell for produce thanks to ethalyne gas. Ethalyne gas tends to cause produce to ripen quickly, some quicker than others. So – if you are like me and tend to shop once a week, guaranteed there can be issues from time to time.

So – when OXO sent me their new Greensaver container to play with along with some fresh cucumbers from Melissa’s Produce, I fell in love. I promptly ordered a couple more for berries, tomatoes and greens and it’s been less Jenga shenanigans in my fridge and more organization. Having a more organized fridge makes this gal VERY happy.
