Pears and strawberry Crumble (Crumble de peras , almendras, coco y frutillas)

If you ask me right now  which season I like best, I would say it is autumn so far.  Sincerely at this time I would be happy to be in Autumn and winter will come. But we are at the end of spring and starting with a very hot summer ,  and   with all the problems we are living here  in our  country now   is very hard. (Many fights here in many sites that is worry me) You can go out one day and you do not know if there will be subway or buses.  Or maybe you have an appointment with the kinesiologist and nobody tells you that he left earlier or that date was suspended, anyway. And when you ask why happens this, all say but you know the times we are living. Im not agree with it. In the middle of this I try to keep doing things like baking, reading and pray (like always reading is my my joy) And  I pray a lot by different reasons. Please pray   for for our country  we need it.  I made my first strawberry jam and I hope...

Asparagus and brie quiche (Quiche de esparragos y queso Brie)

 Some times  people tell me     I make  many sweet recipes  but  I love many savory  things, I love quiches, pizzas, chicken, stews and soups!  I love salads too! Only sometimes happens I can't  take pictures  to all I make (especially the last time) because  you need time to take good pictures. You know this year has been especially difficult for me. Still sometimes is difficult use my right arm but I feel better. Well, I made this quiche with Brie cheese a long time ago and I found the photos.  And the crust is so good  with toasted sesame seeds. Quiches can be eaten year-round and can be made vegetarian or with some protein (such as chicken or fish) And some pictures of here!

Blueberry almond galettes (galettes con arandanos y almendras)

I did not know how to start this post.  But first of all, I appreciate all the love and greetings you have given me here.  Of course it has been (and is difficult) my mom was not only my mommy, she was a very good friend.  I was blessed to have her around and help her as much as I could, we talked every day, and often I would lie next to her to talk or listen to music. Anyway . it's hard. They are many years, sharing, things, life, everything. Well little by little I go back to cooking, I had to do it, because or if I was not going to let myself be carried away by the pain and I do not want to. I also have a family that still expects me to cook, my dogs and rabbits :) This recipe is not complicated but I wanted something simple and rather rustic. And of course I love galettes. Thanks for everything Source : Delicious UK magazine Ingredients 1 1/2 cups almond flour  1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cup  plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar divided 1/2 teaspoon sal...
