Blueberry Sauce


This blueberry sauce would come in handy for breakfast! Simply pour it over your pancakes, waffles, cheesecakes, or even on a plain yogurt. You can use either fresh blueberries or frozen ones.


Blueberry Sauce
·      100 grams of blueberries
·      2 tablespoons of brown sugar
·      1 slice of lemon

1.     Place the blueberries in a pot. Add the brown sugar and mix using a spatula.


2.     Add the slice of lemon and turn on the heat.


3.     Once it starts the boil, turn down the heat to low. Boil down until the sauce thickens.


4.     Pour it over your pancake, waffle, cheesecake, yogurt, or anything you like!


Here is a picture of my rare cheesecake with Maine wild blueberry sauce.

BLT Corn Salad


Try this fresh, colorful, and flavorful salad. I love to use heirloom tomatoes because of its sweetness. Adding corn is a MUST. I’ve tried without the corn but it’s so much tastier and flavorful with it.



BLT Corn Salad

·      4 tomatoes (I use heirloom tomatoes)
·      few pieces of bacon (or as much as you like!)
·      handful of arugula
·      3 or more pieces of bread (sourdough or any bread you like)
·      1 cob of corn
·      1 to 2 tablespoons of butter
·      2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
·      2 tablespoons of olive oil
·      3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
·      one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
·      a pinch of salt
·      a pinch of pepper

1.     Slice the tomatoes into round shape and lightly salt and pepper. Let it soak for 5 minutes.



2.     Cut the bread into bite-size pieces. Cook the bacon on a grill and cut the corn off the cob.




3.     In a large skillet, toast the bread pieces in butter. Add the corn halfway through and continue to cook. When the bread and corn are fully cooked, remove from the heat.



4.     In a large bowl, assemble the corn, bread, and arugula. Season with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and black pepper.


5.     Mix mayonnaise and lemon juice in a separate container. This will be served as dressing.

6.     Top the salad with tomatoes and bacon.


7.     Pour the dressing before serving.
