CLEMENTE BAKING

Now living along the Central Coast, I like to feature local eateries, and Clemente Bakery is a favorite. I discovered these Spelt Citrus Teacakes there and had to figure out how to bake them. Think I got close. I went in and met the owner Craig Hurlbert and could see this is the real deal. Their RYE SOURDOUGH is best I Have ever eaten. Sadly I just learned they no longer bake that bread, disappointed.

SPELT FLOUR

Spelt flour is a flour made from a species of wheat with a nutty, slightly tangy flavor. It is a form of wheat so it does contain gluten. It can be used for making cookies, breads, muffins and other applications where you’d use wheat flour.

Glazed Lemon Brownies

Glazed Lemon Brownies | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Brownies get some lemon love in the newest recipe in the Collection Membership No. 645 Lemon Glazed Brownies.

LEMON BROWNIES

OK, who does not love a brownie? Think outside the box to a lemon brownie-same tender cakes but with a light lemon glaze. The technique is basically the same as a chocolate brownie, but uses lemon infused sugar and lemon extract. A simple one-bowl mix and off to the oven to bake.

PAMPERED CHEF BROWNIE PAN

I was gifted from a neighbor her extra Pampered Chef Brownie Pan. I was not familiar with these pans, but all her brownies were perfectly sized. You can use the pan to make many other recipes in single serve sizes. Single-serve bake brownies are the way to go. Mine shown here have crispy brown edges which I did not mind, all from my ancient oven that seems to burn everything:) These can of course be bake in a standard 8×8 pan.

Spaghetti with Marinated Artichokes

SPAGHETTI WIITH MARINATED ARTICHOKES | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Spring is finally here! Artichokes are popping up everywhere from famers markets to the supers. This recipe is an example of a fresh, simple recipe that can be used to create many other recipes, No. 638 Marinated Artichokes with White Wine from the Collection Membership.

MARINATED ARTICHOKES

I love making this classic recipe at home. The very best option is to find small fresh artichokes, or frozen, but in this case I used canned artichoke hearts and made to make them due. They are small, so that was a win for this recipe.

SPAGHETTI WIITH MARINATED ARTICHOKES | Bijouxs Little Jewels

MAKE IT FRESH ALONG THE COAST

Living along the Central Coast brings and with it miles of farm fields, and some of the best produce in the Golden State.  Artichokes are a big crop along the coast. We had an Artichoke Festival for years, but the tough times caused them to fold. This recipe is quite simple with only artichokes, garlic, fresh thyme, Chili de Arbol and bay leaves for the marinade. The olive oil, garlic, lemons and white wine create a delicious sauce. After the sauté on the stovetop, drain the artichokes but reserve the cooking liquid. It will keep the artichokes full of flavor and can be the base for other recipes. Serve them with hummus dip and pita for an appetizer.

SPAGHETTI WITH MARINATED ARTICHOKES

I reheated the marinated artichokes gently on the stovetop and added some extra olive oil. Then I added some al dente spaghetti to the pan and created the pasta dish shown. I removed the herbs and bay leaves but the left the lemon peel in, it adds a fresh bright bite to the pasta.
