Welcome to Foodie Friday, where great food is always on the menu.
I've been battling tick bites and West Nile Virus, and Dr. House has put me on bed rest. Hopefully I'll
be on my feet soon. Until then, I'm sharing an old-but-cheerful tablescape.
Menu
Orange-Roasted Chicken (cooked over a mirepoix)
Asparagus Tart
Sliced Tomatoes drizzled with low-carb honey dijon dressing
Low-Carb Finger sandwiches
Guilt-free angel food cake
Orange slices
coffee ~ sugar free iced tea
Rattlebridge Farm Asparagus Tart
serves 4 to 6
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 c grated cheese
1 bunch asparagus, washed and trimmed
egg wash
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle flour over a sheet of waxed paper. Place thawed pastry onto the sheet and gently roll the pastry into a square. Pierce the bottom with a fork and place into a tart pan or baking dish. Brush egg wash over edge of pastry. Spread cheese over bottom of dough. Arrange asparagus spears over the cheese in a wagon wheel pattern (or place them in a linear shape--cut the asparagus to fit the shape of your pan). Bake 18 to 20 minutes.
Rattlebridge Farm's Guilt-Free Cake
serves 6
serves 6
1 "no sugar added" angle food cake (grocery store)
1 carton sugar free cool whip
fruit
"Ice" the cake with Cool Whip and garnish.
Yep, it's that easy. I used oranges because my husband was craving them. In the past, I've garnished angel food and pound cakes with fresh flowers HERE and HERE. Just place a small juice glass in the center of the cake. Add water and a bouquet. I've also cut the cakes in half and spread the surface with sugar-free pudding and sliced fruit.

Note:
White, mismatched dishes can be bought all at once (see the Gollum Dishes,) or collected over time. Many dishaholics like myself do both! You can buy one large set of dishes and add pieces that you find at tag sales, etc. I found an inexpensive, gorgeous set of white Clairmont dishes in 2009 at Big Lots. They may still be available at Amazon.
