Bread Pudding Fruit Torte

-

Ok, as I mentioned before. My husband and I love fruit. So the other day we went to try out this store called 'Sprouts' here in Dallas it is supposedly a great fresh fruit store (like a farmers market) so we spent $30 just on different fruits... Bad Choice...

The fruit was absolutely horrible. So I thought to myself GREAT. Now I have $30 worth of fruit sitting on my kitchen table and now they are starting to spoil because no one is eating them.

And then next week I will  be traveling for an entire week so that is when they are REALLY going to spoil. So I would have to just throw them out.

I had to think up a plan on what to do. So that is when I created this masterpiece :  )

The 'Bread Pudding Fruit Torte' So I started searching through my kitchen looking for anything that would possibly spoil while I travel. Anything that I had and that I could use to create something. I grabbed a bit of this and a bit of that and put them all together to make this.

I Grabbed bread and broke them into chunks, threw them into a pyrex and in a separate bowl mixed together 1 egg, 1/2 cup milk and a tiny bit of condensed milk I had left over. Then I poured that on top of my bread. Let it soak into the bread, pressing down lightly. Then placed it in the oven on 250F for 20 minutes while I prepared the fruit.

I Then cut up dices of the fruit I had which were pear, apple, pinnaple and strawberry and threw them in a frying pan with a teaspoon butter and 1/4 cup sugar and  1/2 tsp cinnamon. I cooked the fruit on low-medium heat for about 20 minutes while my bread cooked.

Once the bread was done, I poured my fruit on top. But I wanted some type of crunchy crust so I looked around and found a handful of oatmeal, raisins, chopped pecans, sugar and cinnamon. I put a little of each into a container and rubbed it all together with my hand. Then sprinkled it on top of the cooked fruit. I Placed it in the oven one more on 300F time for  about 10 minutes just for the crust to cook.

Thats It.  I made this delicious desert with basically,what I didn't have. Look at the layers. From bottom to top. Simple Bread pudding, caramelized fruit filling and a granola type crust.

I ate it warm with a scoop of vanilla Ice Cream. Really good...

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F

Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth.
