Raw Elements Natural Sunscreen

With spring already here, and summer fast on its way, you’re bound to be spending more time outside – beaching, swimming, biking, boating, gardening, or doing whatever floats your boat.  Just remember, Bermuda’s geographical location puts us in the line of some intense sun rays – you can expect high UV values all year-long – so remember to protect your skin and prevent skin cancer by applying sunscreen before heading outside.

If you’re looking for an all-natural, safe and effective sunscreen, take a look at Raw Elements All Natural Sunscreen with all organic sunscreen ingredients. It’s new to our stores and available just in time for Good Friday kite flying outside in the warm spring air!

Orange Bundt Cake

A delightfully light, citrus flavoured cake that is perfect for tea time or served as an elegant Easter dessert.

Prep time: 25 mins  Bake time: 40 mins
Makes: 6-8 servings.

Easter Ring Cake-powdered sugar

Instead of using glaze you can simply dust the cake with a little powdered sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 2 tsp. orange zest
  • 4 teaspoons orange juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, orange peel and extracts and beat until combined.
  3. In another bowl, add flour and baking powder and stir to combine. Gradually add the flour mixture to the cream mixture, alternating with milk between additions. Make sure not to over mix between additions – just barely combine. The result is a cake with a light, even texture throughout.
  4. Pour into bundt pan. Place in oven on center rack and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
  5. For glaze: combine the confectioners’ sugar, orange juice and grated orange peel; whisk until smooth. Spoon over cake, allowing glaze to run down sides. Garnish with thin slices of orange, if desired.

Egg, Tomato & Mushroom Bake

This frittata is easy to prepare and can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Serve with crusty toast and fresh fruit.

Prep. Time: 10 mins  Cook Time: 20 mins  Total Time: 40 mins
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons butter, divided
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 green onions, including green tops, chopped
  • 8 ounces baby Portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Whisk together eggs, cheese, ground pepper and basil. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a cast iron skillet (or ovenproof frying pan) over low heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Add tomatoes and cook 2 minutes until tomato just softens.
  5. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and stir to incorporate with vegetables. Pour egg mixture over tomato/mushroom mixture. Lift and tilt pan and swirl around to distribute egg mixture evenly. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until the egg mixture is almost set (the surface will still be slightly runny).
  6. To finish cooking, place pan in oven and cook until eggs are set – about 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Loosen edges with a spatula and gently slide frittata onto a plate. Cut into 6 wedges. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
