SPICY BAKED BEANS WITH TUNA

Image
Baked beans were never my thing.  But I have noticed that its a staple in most buffet breakfast places I have visited.  My kids seem to like it and so does my husband so I wanted to make a spicier version of baked beans. After a few attempts, I have my version of baked beans with the addition of tuna as well, its Maldives we Maldivians cant seem to eat without it.  You can make this without the tuna as well. The great thing about this recipe is its a good store cupboard staple.  Well, my kitchen always has the basics such as onion, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper, along with the spices and of course canned tuna. A can or two of baked beans is always in the cupboard for emergencies. I know some of you might not be able to get some curry leaves then substitute with some coriander leaves. It might not taste the same but still gives a more curry taste compared to other herbs. Yield: 4-6 Author: Nammi Print Recipe  Spicy baked beans with tuna Prep time: 10 mins...

BUTTERFINGER COOKIE BARS

Image
Soft and chewy Butterfinger Cookie Bars with a light, creamy Butterfinger frosting. It�s no secret that I totally have a thing for cookie bars. You skip all the scooping, rolling, and chilling, that often comes with making a batch of cookies, and instead, you press all of the dough into one pan, to make �bars� instead. The possibilities for cookie bars are endless. These are some of my favorites. These butterfinger cookie bars are HEAVENLY. The dough is kind of like a blondie. (Have you had blondies before? They are a non-chocolate version of a brownie). Thick, soft and chewy. Plus, you add 2 cups of chopped butterfinger bits into the batter, too. And if the cookie bars were not delicious enough plain, you top them with a light, fluffy buttercream frosting that also has chopped butterfinger bits in it. WOW. WOOOOOWWW. These were SO GOOD. Ingredients : 1 cup butter 1 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 ...

STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE TURNOVERS

Image
These quick and easy turnovers are made with puff pastry and stuffed with strawberries and cream cheese. These Strawberry Cream Cheese Turnovers make a perfect breakfast or dessert! Do you remember these apple turnovers I posted a while back? Ever since I posted them, I�ve been thinking of new ideas for turnovers. With spring just around the corner, I felt like a berry version was in order.So I made a strawberry turnover and then stuffed it with a cream cheese filling. Because it�s a proven fact that cream cheese makes everything better. At least it does for me. The turnovers are actually pretty easy to make since they start with frozen puff pastry. I love to keep some puff pastry on hand in my freezer for times when I need it, it�s seriously amazing! While it�s thawing out is the perfect time to get the filling ready to go. The filling starts with a mixture of strawberries, a little sugar, and a bit of cornstarch to thicken up the mixture as it bakes. I�ve made these turnovers ...

The first time I saw this cake being made was in a Loraine Pascale's cooking show. I  never realized it was such an easy recipe.
