Why you’ll love this blood orange yogurt loaf

Part cake, part quick bread, this blood orange yogurt loaf toes the line between dessert and breakfast and I’m here for it!

  • No need to bust out the heavy stand mixer for this recipe! Just a few mixing bowls and whisk will do the trick.
  • It takes advantage of gorgoeous, seasonal blood oranges but you can also sub out whatever orange variety you can find at your market.
  • The jaw dropping pink icing on top takes this loaf over the edge.
  • This recipe uses basic baking ingredients you likely already have on hand. All you’ll need are the blood oranges!
  • Yogurt makes for a super moist and rich loaf that will last a few days without drying out (assuming you don’t devour every crumb on day 1).

Tips for making this blood orange loaf

I swear by super simple baking techniques since I dont’ have the patience for anything too complicated (and all the dirty dishes that go alogn with it!). To make this blood orange yogurt cake like a pro, you only need to know a few things.

  • Like any baking recipe, make sure not to overmix your batter. Stir just until the ingredients are fully combined and you don’t see streaks of raw flour anymore.
  • Crack your eggs in a separate bowl so if you get a shell in there you don’t have to go hunting around for it.
  • Use a 9×5″ loaf pan and line with parchment paper to ensure the loaf doesn’t stick.
  • While baking, rotate your loaf 180 degrees half way through so it cooks evenly.
  • Check for doneness often using a toothpick. As soon as the pick comes out clean without any raw batter stuck to it, you can pull it out of the oven.
  • To make sure it doesn’t overcook, as soon as you pull it out of the oven, pull the parchement paper wrapped loaf out of the pan and place on a cooking rack.
  • Wait to drizzle the icing over the top until the loaf is fully cooled so it adheres.

#ad | I find myself making these ahi tuna tostadas #ad | I find myself making these ahi tuna tostadas all summer long when I don’t feel like standing in front of a hot stove or bbq. Thanks to @sanjtamari’s newest product, Umami Tamari Splash, it adds just the extra bite of flavor in the summertime for these yummy ahi tuna tostadas.

Not only are they so incredibly quick and easy to assemble, but it makes for a beautiful combo of flavors and textures. The mild heat from the wasabi crema helps cut through the buttery richness of the ahi tuna and the crunchy tostada is the perfect vehicle! I marinate the tuna in the new @sanjtamari newest product Umami Tamari Splash, which adds such a boost of flavor thanks to the red miso, black garlic, kombu and shiitake. It makes for such an easy dipping sauce or you can drizzle it right over the top of your grilled meats and veggies.

I love that @sanjtamari Umami Tamari Splash is organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO, and always easy to find @wholefoods. Shop @sanjtamari at your local @wholefoods: ff.recipes/sanjtamarisplash-wf and find the recipe here: (https://ff.recipes/ahituna-tostadas-wasabi-crema)

Peas are like a seasonal poster child for spring p Peas are like a seasonal poster child for spring produce.  The only problem is that I grew up thinking peas were a disgusting, mushy, side dish.  No offense grandma! 

So I turned to my fool proof method of adding bacon (or in this case pancetta), lots of shallots, garlic, and fresh herbs in order to give veggies a makeover.  Don’t sleep on the mint in this recipe!  It’s just what it needs to round out the salty, savory flavors and add a pop of freshness so it tastes like a bite of spring in every bite.  I hope you like it as much as we do!

Simple ✅  6 ingredients ✅ Quick ✅ Excuse to eat bacon ✅ 

Comment “PEAS PLS” if you want the recipe it make it yourself!

Think you don’t like anchovies? 🐟 Maybe it’ Think you don’t like anchovies? 🐟 Maybe it’s time to give them another try! The trick is to find high quality anchovies so there’s no fishy or metallic taste, just salty, buttery, melt in your mouth goodness.  The other key is to chop them up finely so they blend in super well.

When it comes to this bread dip, I never actually measure anything, and you can customize it so many different ways with what you have on hand. Try, throwing in some chopped up olives are capers! Serve with a big ol ball of burrata! 🧀🤤 Leave out what you don’t like and make it your own. 

 Just use a chunk of bread to taste and measure as you go 🥖
