KitchInspirations: Corn Fritters Challenge

July brought us a corn fritters challenge at KitchInspirations! Fresh or canned or frozen corn in a batter. That's pretty much the rules.

I have completely forgotten that Thai people do corn fritters too, Tod Mun Kaopoad. And that is what I ended up making.

KitchInspirations: Strawberry Shortcake Challenge

My friends Traci and Irena came up with the idea of a monthly cooking challenge.

Quite simply, Kitchen Inspirations. Where friends gather for a monthly cooking challenge to take a base recipe, make it their own, and share the results ~ All for the love of great food.

The June challenge is Strawberry Shortcake. As long as you have cake, strawberries and cream, you can take your creative license anywhere.

So, I made Grilled Pound Cake with Mascarpone Ice Cream and Macerated Strawberries.
