Low Budget Pizza

Image
Wanna make your own pizza but you don't have mozzarella? No worry, shredded processed cheddar cheese will do. And pizzas could taste great too even without any meat on it. Prepare the dough the night before to get richer taste. I used this simple recipe , it makes delicious pizza crusts. Then you could top it with whatever you currently have in hand.  Homemade tomato sauce + onion + green bell pepper + shredded cheddar + oregano flakes Homemade tomato sauce + onion + pineapple chunks + cheddar cubes + shredded cheddar + oregano flakes

Crispy Chocolate Cupcakes

Chocolate cupcakes topped with a mixture of chocolate cereal and melted chocolate. Could it get any more chocolatey than this?

Sliced banana + old fashioned rolled oats + cocoa + almond milk = my kind of easy Sunday breakfast

Classic Butter Cookies

As classic as it sounds. Butter cookies with assorted toppings: cappuccino spread, lemon jelly, blueberry jelly, and nutella! 

Quick (Cheat) Bread

Have you ever had a sudden craving for some home made bread but didn't feel like having to wait for the dough-rising process? I often do. But thanks to Jamie Oliver's Fantastic Cheat's Pizza recipe you can hack yourself some quick bread in no time. You should really check this step by step for making quick pizza. It's so easy. I was not in the mood for making pizza so I tweaked it a little to make my own plain quick bread. Oh, by the way, you don't need oven for this recipe. Simply pan-fry the dough on the stove top, preferably using a heavy-bottom pan. See why it is called cheat bread? Simply add some shredded cheese on the top, et voila! Something nice to munch. The sweet version, with palm sugar coating that's caramelized during cooking.

Giant Cookie!

It really was a very large cookie. It didn't stay intact for too long because we couldn't bear to pinch a considerable portion as soon as it came out of the oven. Yes, while it was still sizzling hot. I ate it for breakfast accompanied by full cream milk, ice cold. And I was not sorry. Goodbye, waistline! Come, look closer! Yum-yum.  Note: I quartered this Jacques Torres' recipe and baked the dough in a 24 cm pie plate, which resulted in rather thick cookie.

Aren Sugar Butter Cake

This is an ordinary butter cake that is made extraordinary by switching white sugar with aren sugar. It creates certain aroma, a bit similar to caramel. Hmmm, luscious. And from what I know, natural made sugar like aren sugar is healthier than white refined sugar (CMIIW). This recipe is adapted from here . Aren Sugar Butter Cake By Cokelatia Ingredients: 120 grams butter/margarine 150-200 grams aren sugar, shredded 2 eggs 200 grams cake flour 1 tsp baking powder a pinch of salt 150 ml milk almond slices for topping (optional) Methods: Preheat oven to 180 celsius. Butter a square cake pan. I used a 24 x 24 cm pan, but a 22 x 22 cm pan would result in a nice taller cake. Combine flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside. Mix butter/margarine with shredded aren sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, continue mixing until very pale and thick. Gradually add flour mixture and milk alternately, stir after each addition. Pour into prepared pan, sprinkl...
