Confit Byaldi aka the original Ratatouille

Confit Byaldi with my brother's own original mash potato recipe
Who knew that my kid brother could cook? I sure didn't. As of late he’s been dilly dallying in the kitchen and to my whole families’ good fortune we get to eat new dishes, aka my brother’s delicious creations.
I definitely cannot take the credit here; this is ALL my lil bro’s work. And on top of being peskatarian/vegetarian conscious he goes out of his way to make them gluten free as well!  I’m a lucky girl for sure.
You might be more familiar with the vegetable dish in Disney's Ratatouille, where Remy (the talented rat) and Alfredo Liniguini cooked for Anton Ego(the revered restaurant critic). Does that ring a bell?! Ratatouille might be the traditional French vegetable dish, but Confit Byaldi is definitely its classier cousin. 

This recipe requires a bit of prep and spare time, but let me tell you the end results are nothing sort of delicious!

 Confit Byaldi Recipe Link here:


My Bro's Cheesy Onion Mash Potatoes:

Ingredients:
-          4 medium-large Russet potatoes
-          1 large white onion
-         1/4 cup  Shredded cheese
-         1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
-          Salt & pepper
-          Italian seasoning
-          1 tbsp butter
-          2 tbsp of milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 500 Degrees or broiling temperature.
Peel and cube potatoes, then boil till tender.  Drain and mash potatoes with butter, milk, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a separate sautéed pan caramelize 1 large white onion on medium add a pinch of salt, cook till caramelized.
Spread mash potatoes evenly in a baking tin. Top mash potatoes with shredded cheese, parmesan cheese, and caramelized onions. 
Place in oven for 3 minutes or until cheese and onions are crispy and melted. 

Hope you all have fun with this recipe. Let us know how your gluten free cooking adventures turn out by commenting below!

Random Summer Eats: Roasted Eggplant & Flourless Chocolate Cake

Roasted Eggplant 

When I was at the California State Fair the farmer’s market section was a breath of fresh air compared to sweltering heat wave coming from the deep fried vendors. Anyhow, some of the eggplant might have accidently fell into my purse and well …what was I suppose to do?! Two Words ROASTED EGGPLANT
Super simple and no doubt delicious!
    Ingredients:
-          3 small to medium eggplants. Slice in quarter sized discs. 
-          1 tsp of kosher salt (you might want to add less, but I like things kinda salty :P)
-          ½ tsp of freshly ground pepper
-          ½ tsp of thyme
-          ¼ tsp of basil
-          1 tbs of olive oil
Quarter Sized Discs
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º Fahrenheit.    
Slice eggplant in about quarter size discs.
On two large baking sheets lightly dress and toss the eggplant with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and basil.
Evenly spread the sliced eggplant on the two baking trays. Bake for 15–20 minutes. Check the eggplant after about 10 minutes depending on the strength of you oven.


Roasted Eggplant! Nom nom nom


Flourless Chocolate Cake with Fresh Strawberries

The cake is loosely based on the Cooking Channel's Chocolate Cream Cake. We tweaked it a bit because the ratio of coffee liqueur would make the melted chocolate super grain-y. Not good eats. We saved the cake, but be forewarned it is not the best flourless chocolate cake recipe out there.
Recipe:http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/laura-calder/chocolate-cream-cake-recipe/index.html

Chocolate Feast: 
Fluffy Egg yolks
Melted chocolate 











Saved the cakes!

Top with Fresh Strawberries and its chow time! 

Enjoy!
