HAPPY NEW YEAR MY LOVES!!!

 

I know, it’s already February but it still feels like a new year. Happy New Month! 2020 came and went just like that. It had been a tough year with all the pandemic issues that we had to deal with. I thought that now that we are quarantined, I would have the chance to cook dozens of meals but I guess the inspiration was lackluster to the point I was always happy that there were left overs. No need to cook. I hope this year will be a bit better and hoping for the best. So to start us off, ill share with you my top 30 recipes on my YouTube channel. My channel has officially crossed 6,000 subscribers with 500, 000 overall views!

BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFINS


Blueberries are those fruits thata are usually in season at different times of the year so whenever they come around I am always looking for ways to make use of them. If I am not eating them then I am cooking with them. Today I tried baking Blueberry lemon muffins. I love the purple color that oozes into the muffins as the blueberries burst as they bake. These muffins turned out fluffy and light, totally perfect!

NO BAKE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE


No bake recipes are the best! Especially when you don't feel like opening the oven during the hot summer days. Or when you do not have electricity, that so happens in our Town sometimes.

Since I made the blueberry sorbet and mango sorbet, I have been thinking about trying out another flavour! So here goes the newest sorbet in town, WATERMELON SORBET!

NUTMEG CHOCOLATE MIXED SPICE ROCK CAKES


Rock cakes kind of always remind me of Christmas. I know, I know, it's only March and it was Christmas only 4 months ago! But hear me out. Rock cakes especially cinnamon ones remind me of mom's baking when we were kids. The smell of baked goods wafting through the house was a sign that it was Christmas morning.  We would all excitedly go to the kitchen knowing that freshly baked goodies awaited us. The best part of eating these rock cakes was the crunchy slightly hard exterior then biting into the soft fluffy insides! Aaaaaah, great memories.

DOUBLE FRY HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES


Lately I have been loving homemade french fries. Simply because I know they are fresh since they are cooked in my own oil. We have all heard about places where they reuse oil so many times and cook in the same oil different things especially in fast food restaurants. Whether true or not, it still gives you that eerie feeling that you could be eating french fries on friday with oil that cooked fries last monday! I don't mean to alarm you, but, homemade is mostly better. I chose to double fry my potatoes so that I get crispy golden fries in the end. It also helps the potatoes not to absorb too much oil since the second fry gives the potatoes an extra hard coating. You can choose to boil the potatoes first before frying them, they'll be delicious.
