Bite sized things are SO MUCH CUTER! Agreed? Agreed. Last November we took a little coastal trip out to Cali to visit the grandparents. Well, we may or may not have enjoyed a day at Disneyland (we did. oh we totally did.). But we also visited my grandparents. Gosh they’re adorable. Nearing their nineties, still get a long, and healthy as horses. Plus grandma makes a mean freshly squeezed OJ and gramps is a Racko champion. Anyway, on this much-needed relaxing vacay I took a little trip with grandma to the farmers market in Vista. Have I mentioned that I love farmer’s markets?? I do. We don’t have the best ones around here but I so wish that we did. At the one in Vista they had vendors selling all sorts of insanely delicious-smelling foods. After trying 1 or 17 samples including everything from something called “bitchin’ sauce” (no seriously though) to some kind of African goat dish with collard greens (that was… interesting) we got a taste of the most amazing cannoli filling. They were serving it out of little cups with teeny tiny spoons. Vanilla, lemon, orange. Oh my gosh they were incredible. I highly doubt if I tried for the next 38 years that I could ever replicate that cannoli cream but I have to say, these homemade cannoli bites are pretty darn tasty and the orange zest in the filling is just a little bit reminiscent of that farmer’s market trip with grandma. I love when delicious food tastes a little on the nostalgic side. Adapted from love bakes good cakes
