HOL Ravenclaw

After setting up the blanket and plating the food, it's time to dig in! After the delicious meal you decide to exchange recipes with your friends/family. You can post a recipe here, or a picture of your meal!

Post your recipe or picture below (images should be a maximum of 600x600) by 11:59 P.M. HOL time on April 30th.

This can double as either a drink or a refreshing dessert. Yellow banana/pineapple puree, strawberry puree for the pink middle and then banana and blueberry for the light purple on the top!

The picture is of lo mein, which I really enjoy.

Here's an orzo salad with peas and shrimp. Perfect for that hot summer day!

This is a Hawaiian fish-based dish known as poke. Sashimi-grade tuna is tossed with soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion and sesame seeds and the whole thing is placed atop a bowl of rice, greens, or a mixture of the two!

This one is a simple peanut butter, Nutella, and banana sandwich! Perfect for a picnic and a great way to combine lunch and dessert. For peanut butter allergies, substituting almond butter works well. Even taking out the nut butter entirely makes for a good sandwich!

I don't necessarily care how simple or complex the recipe is, what ingredients are kept in or left out or sprung in as a surprise, but I have never NOT been anything but so incredibly happy to see a plate of deviled eggs show up at any and all gatherings. The only time I'm sad is when that plate doesn't come with a backup (or few) since they tend to wind up getting eaten up so quickly! ... Because I'm eating them up so quickly.

My absolute favorite food are banana milkshakes. I didn't know I liked banana things up until a few months ago when I had my favorite smoothie, noticed it was banana, and thought I might like it in milkshake form to and... yes! So for a banana milkshake, you will need Bananas, Milk, and Vanilla Ice Cream. Pretty much just blending it all up should do it.

Some white wine braised beef short ribs and black garlic butter pasta my partner made recently. It was super delicious and I’d love to enjoy some sitting outside at the park!
