Have you ever had THOSE days?

-
Here are a few desserts that can be made on a regular. Have you ever had THOSE days that you just felt like eating something sweet but don't have anything lying around the house and you sure don't feel like going to the store to buy anything and don't have the money to waste either...

That happens to me a lot  :   ) so I just make something with what I have at home. Quick, easy and satisfying. Here I had some brownies (Actually I didn't even make them I had a box of store bought brownies (if you want something quick you can even use the boxed brownies where you just add milk, eggs and oil) not always recommended but once in a while you can give yourself a break.

Here I used my store bought brownies that I had lying around but I didn't want them plain so i added chocolate spread and Dulce de Leche as well as whipped cream on top.  (use the search bar to the right hand side of this blog to search for how to make  'Homemade Dulce De Leche' (from May 1, 2012 and how to make home made 'Whipped Cream' that is what I did. It was super yummy...




This I didn't make I bought it at an ice cream parlor that my sister showed me called 'Friendly's' it is really delicious but at the same time really simple to make at home on one of THOSE days...

add you ice cream flavors, topping, waffles, cookies, cakes, fruit, brownies, sauces and whatever else you want. Oh... and don't forget the cherry on top...


So delicious...



From my kitchen to yours
God Bless

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? 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

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
