This is another chocolate cake recipe in my collection. In my house, it can never go wrong with a chocolate recipe. As long as there is chocolate, Arkensen and Nanzaro will gobble up whatever I make even though they might not look nice.
This crumbcake is very chocolately and nutty — and sweet. It’s great for an afternoon tea break.

I made this Raspberry Braid for breakfast. The recipe yields two braids. I made one with raspberry jam from the original recipe and the remainder one with hazelnut chocolate spread for the boys.

We had to devise a paper funnel to make sure that all 12 tablets drops into the diet coke quickly. The reaction was instantaneous and we just can’t take our sweet time to do it. Nanzaro and Webster were too chicken to drop it — so Arkensen did it again; this time he was much more confident.

This is another thing I prepared for the recent BBQ at the South Arm Park. It is simply called the Salt and Sugar Shrimp. The recipe for this was also from the Safeway Great Grilling Recipe. All the recipes are simple but yet looks very appetizing. Check out their website: http://shop.safeway.com/superstore/default.asp?brandid=1&page=corphome.

I got this recipe from Safeway on one those free recipes stand. I made it for a BBQ get-together with Polly and family a couple weeks ago. It is a great cheesy appetizer — not to mention it being so colourful.
The filling in the sweet peppers consists of chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheese and salt to taste.

We chanced on a great deal in T&T. The E Ben Brittle Plum Juice (not sure what the name really meant!) costs only 99 cents for the 1.5 litre bottle. The original price was $3.29.

We sort of stumbled into the Kam Do Restaurant and Bakery a few weeks back. We have passed by the restaurant many times before but have for some reason never ever thought of checking that place out. A few weeks ago, we did and were very surprised of what they office.

The Classico di Sorrento Brushetta make it so simple to prepare bruschetta. You can easily whip up a snack or prepare a party tray of appetizer in just a few minutes.
All we need is a french baguette, a clove of garlic, some extra virgin olive oil and the Classico di Sorrento Bruschetta topping.

Mr. Christie is a very thin chocolate wafer which looks very appealing. Reading the instructions on the box and the mouth watering picture, we decided to make this Cool Whip Chocolate Wafers Log. The instructions sounded pretty simple.

Jiaozi can be boiled or shallow-fried and then steamed. When shallow-fried and steamed, it’s call potsticker.
On Chinese New Year’s eve, making and eating dumpling is a tradition in China. Family members would get together to make jiaozi.
