Happy Fourth of July! I decided to share my recipe for Cowboy Hotdogs with the rest of my family today so I went with a dessert for my new dish today. I also made a fruit salad which isn't technically a recipe, but I wanted to share it none the less.
Chocolate Orange Cookie Cups
This recipe is super easy and quick to make, but other than that nothing to write home about. I waited a little over an hour to serve them after taking them out of the oven so they might've tasted a little bitter served warmer, but overall the taste was just okay to me. The addition of the melted chocolate at the end was a nice touch.
Things I learned from this recipe:
The dessert must be served with vanilla ice cream. It is too dry on it's own.
Would I make this recipe again?:
Probably not
The recipe
Fruit Salad
I've been eating fruit salad for as long as I can remember, and have been making it for as long as I could use a knife. The key I learned from my mom, as with many dishes she makes, is that the right color combination makes it more desirable. You must not have too many reds and oranges or too much green. I always like to use kiwi and blueberries as a surefire way to get a blue and a green in and those two in particular provide a different texture and are cut differently which add dimension to the dish. Other than that, I go with whatever else is in season.
