We went to strawberry picking last weekend, this is what I made with those beautiful red berries. All you have to do is put the strawberry, milk, sugar/honey into the blender until smooth then pour into the popsicle mold, easy!

Blueberry Puff Tart
Just another simple recipe using homemade puff pastry, this time using blueberry. Enjoy!
1. Mix 2 C Blueberry with 2Tbs lemon juice, 3 Tbs sugar, 3 Tbs corn starch, set aside.
2. Cut the puff pastry sheet into smaller square, 6″x 6″ total 8 squares (if using ready frozen pastry, just divide each sheet into 4 squares ).
3. Spread 1Tbs cream cheese then scoop the blueberry into each square, fold the perimeter to hold the berries, brush with egg wash.
4. Bake in 350F oven about 15-20 minutes or the pastry is golden brown. Drizzle with honey (optional).
Cheese Sweet Bun
This is my first bun, bread, roll, basically anything that uses yeast. I’d always been hesitate trying to make my own bread from scratch,… I was just not ready facing the possibility that the dough may not rise or at the end the bread may become tough and hard, I don’t want to waste my muscle for kneading 🙂
Then I found this recipe, the title seemed very promising, “The Best Sweet Yeast Roll Dough I Have Ever Found” by Kathie Carr.
How could I not fall for it? I felt like my longing for making bread with recipe that will work for even a dummy like me had finally come to the end, and it did work!
I modified the recipe by adding cheese, it’s really good. I am happy with the texture and taste though it’s not the softest bun in the world but for me it’s good…. maybe adding more muscle power on the kneading process will make it better, will definitely try it next time.
This recipe is a keeper, see how nice its texture.
Chicken Pot Pie
Ever since I found the recipe for quick puff pastry I’ve never bought frozen ready pastry sheet from store anymore. Once you know that it tastes much better and actually not as hard to make it as you thought before, you may end up like me, making your own puff pastry. Puff pastry is very versatile, you can make many different recipes with it, Chicken pot pie is one of them. I also use it often for snack, like pastry roll up and banana puff pocket.
The chicken soup filling recipe is by Barefoot Contessa from food network.
Raspberry CupChocolate
Last week I made cream puffs for our church community christmas gathering and had prepared melted chocolate for drizzling on the top, but it was quite a busy morning with the baking, cooking, baby bathtime, feeding, and since it’s christmas day I needed extra time to dress up nicer than usual… at the end I had no time to drizzle the chocolate ( because it needed to be melted again as I made it too soon in the morning). So here it is, the dessert I made using those chocolates, Rapsberry Cupchocolate… instead of Raspberry Cupcake 🙂
I melted the chocolate again, poured and molded it to the silicon cups, then stored them in fridge for them to harden.
Once they are ready, which is not long, gently take them out and store again in the fridge until you want to use them.
I made fruit tart pastry cream for the filling and added rapsberry on the top. It is easy, quick, and also pretty for dessert. Enjoy!
