At this point, I probably owe Rachael Ray a drink. Or at least a very nice bottle of Tuscan wine. In every issue of her magazine, I find at least one gem to post here. I've shared her Raspberry Sorbet Watermelon Sandwiches and my all time favorite easy dinner: Charred Corn Tilapia lately. The woman can cook.
I also owe my entire private chef business to her. I hijacked her model of 'week in a day' and it's exactly how I cook for my clients. In 8 hours, I cook and pack up 5 meals for each family to re-heat throughout the week. Don't get me started on my undying love for her '1 bag, 3 meals' meal plans. There are days when I can't come up with a meal plan to save my life, and I just rip the section out of the magazine, grab the reusable grocery bags, and head to the store. She never lets me down.
I had to pare down my magazine subscription last year because so many of them sat unread for months on my coffee table. It's funny how I live, breathe, and eat food, but can't seem to find the time to sit down and read a magazine about it. I blame all the wonderful blogs out there. You guys keep me so full. I love it. Part of me would die if Jessica, Joy, or Erin, ever stopped blogging. Anyway, her magazine is one of the few that made the cut. I love it because it is jam-packed with recipes. Probably over 100 recipes per issue. I dare you not to find at least 10 you want to make in each magazine.
So, her latest issue had a recipe for blackberry bonbons. She coated the whole blackberry in dark chocolate and garnished with orange sugar. Game, set, point. I coated the blackberries half-way in white chocolate and sprinkled crushed pistachios on top. Game, set, match.
Feel free to use dark chocolate and any type of crushed nut on these bonbons. Switch up the berries, even! Or, take a cue from queen Rachael herself and use a citrus-flavored sugar to dust the berries (just stir together fresh citrus zest and sugar until well-combined).
I think this is my favorite summertime snack.

Oo I love Joy and Jessica too, but Rachael and Erin are new to me (We're always a bit behind here in the UK) I'm adding them to my blog reader now, thanks for the recommendation. I love your twist on this recipe - so yummy and dazzling pictures as always. x Steph

What a fun treat! I'm the same way with food magazines... I used to just get stressed at the pile-up and finally stopped getting them.

Beth @ The First Year says
I want these in my belly! I can totally relate to having too many magazines piled up.. I have good intentions but I order them, but they end up sitting there!
Nutmeg Nanny says
These look gorgeous! I used to get RR magazine all the time until I ran out of time to actually read magazines. It's such a shame that taking the leap to work in food has made it impossible to read about it food....haha.

I wish I had entire days to devote to reading food magazines. I'm not really a huge Rachael Ray fan, but I actually love reading her mag. These bonbons look perfect!!
Courtney @ Neighborfood says
I love her magazine too. I have found so many favorites from her mag, and the best part is, the recipes are usually so easy and approachable. I'm clearly behind on my reading, because I haven't seen these beauties yet! What a lovely summer snack!
