Directions

Grilled Honey Garlic Turkey Fillet

Grill according to package directions.

Chopped Asparagus and Arugula Salad

Steam the asparagus for 2-3 minutes, drain and submerge in a bowl of ice water. Cool and drain. You want the asparagus to still have a bit of a crunch.
Arrange all ingredients in a large bowl or serving platter. Drizzle with your favourite salad dressing, a lemon or balsamic based vinaigrette is great. Toss and serve.

Sponge Cake with whipped cream and Strawberries

Sponge Cake
Preheat the oven to 325° Line 2 8 or 9" pans with parchment paper.
Beat the eggs in a stand mixer until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, then beat at high speed for 8-10 minutes. Add vanilla. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together, sift 1/3 of the mixture over the eggs, fold in and repeat 2 more times. Fold in the melted butter.
Divide the batter between the pans. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Strawberries

Combine strawberries and sugar. Let sit for 15 minutes. (Optional: Add balsamic vinegar, black pepper and basil if using)
This is very good with just the sugar as well.
Place cake on a serving platter. Top with 1- 1/2 cup whipped cream, and spoon strawberries on top.
I often just use one layer of cake and freeze the other layer. Then I always have an emergency cake on hand for a last minute dessert.
