Classic Easy Peppercorn Sauce for Steak, Chicken, or Pasta
Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed
1/4 cup brandy or cognac (optional)
1 cup beef or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Directions:

Sauté Shallots and Garlic:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Peppercorns and Deglaze:
Stir in the crushed peppercorns. If using, add brandy or cognac to the pan and allow to simmer for a minute or two to cook off the alcohol.
Add Broth and Cream:
Pour in the beef or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Season and Serve:
Season the sauce with salt to taste. Serve the peppercorn sauce hot, garnished with chopped parsley. It’s perfect over grilled or pan-seared steak, roasted chicken, or tossed with pasta.

Good morning everyone!

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.

Lemon Blueberry Icebox Cake
Ingredients:
1 box (230 g) Valley Crunchy Granola Bars, crush to coarse crumb
125 ml flour
75 ml (1/3 cup) firmly packed golden brown sugar
90 ml (6 tbsp.) unsalted butter, melted
750 ml (3 cups) vanilla ice cream, softened
10 ml (2 tsp.) lemon extract
175 ml (3/4 cup) frozen blueberries
Steps:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place Nature Valley™ Granola Bars in a food processor and blend until coarse crumbs form. In a large bowl, combine crumbled granola bars, flour, brown sugar and melted butter and mix well. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely. Spread half of the crumb mixture on the bottom of a 20-cm (8-inch) baking dish. Reserve the other half of the crumbs.
2. In a large bowl, pour the softened ice cream and stir in the lemon extract. Stir in frozen blueberries.
3. Pour the mixture over the crumbled bars in a 20-cm (8-inch) baking dish. Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top, cover with foil and freeze for at least 3 hours.
4. Let the dessert stand for about 5 minutes after removing it from the freezer to soften, then cut into squares and serve.
Enjoy !
