This mix and bake Cheesy Quick Bread was a nice change from a regular sweet treats I have baked. Am a fan of quick and easy bread that can be whipped up for less than an hour. Never used cheese in quick bread so this is my first trial. Most of the recipe called for cheddar or other sharp tasting cheese but I only have cream cheese so make use of that. Only added half the amount of cheese required. Since this is a savory bread, added only a tablespoon of sugar. You may add more for a sweeter version. This Cheesy Quick Bread turned out great, my kids loved it and the best part it is super easy to make. Other quick bread recipes you should check out: Irish Barmbrack Fantastic Apricot Bread.

Congo Bars are a delicious dessert bars that are loaded with nuts and chocolate chips. I have tweaked this recipe by replacing some of the flour with whole wheat. You can use other nuts as well like pecan or macadamia, Don't have chocolate chips at the moment so substitute it with chocolate rice (sprinkles) instead. Sadly, manage to add about half a cup of the sprinkles since that was what I have. It would look nice if you sprinkle the chocolate chips also on top. These Congo Bars came out well and easy to handle, used a spoon to level it out. I found these bars are pretty sweet, would reduce the sugar further, but this is my personal preference..

A favorite in our household, these savory bites are filled with curried onion and shallow fried. I have made this Mini Samosa in the past and now craving to eat them now. This time. I choose red onion to be stuffed in my samosa. Make my Mini Onion Samosa smaller than the regular ones, it was just nice for one bite. Feel free to vary the size by dividing the dough into lesser balls for bigger samosa. Also used a combination of plain flour and whole wheat flour that yield a slightly darker shade than the normal samosa. The onion stuffing was seasoned with chili powder to add some punch but you can decrease of increase according to your tolerance. As you know. regular samosas are deep fried but I prefer to shallow fry them. This does not effect the taste of this Mini Onion Samosa at all, they are still turned awesome. Come, enjoy these bite sized beauties with a cup of your favorite drink. Other snack recipes you should try: Egg Curry Puffs from scratch Apple Oatmeal Bars Prata ...

Am reluctant to try out this Baked Eggless Churros recipe for the reason, I don't have star nozzle to pipe the dough. That all change when I saw my friend made it with daisy cookies (biskut semperit) mould. This really encourage me to start making it. The downside of using this method, you can only pipe a shorter ones but that was okay for me. Tried a baked version instead of deep frying. Whipped up a simple chocolate sauce to go along with Baked Eggless Churros . I must say, they are perfect pairing, made me forget about my diet. In case you don't have evaporated milk, replace it with fresh cream. Strain the chocolate sauce if you are not sifting the cocoa powder for a smooth sauce without any lumps.

These rolls are made with sweet bread dough, shape into long rope of 12 in folded into 2 and braided, After browsing You Tube, I came across a bunch of gorgeous rolls with different braiding techniques. They used no special gadget but simply turning the dough by braiding and twisting. I borrow that idea to shape my Braided Bread Rings. I was pleasantly surprised to see, how easy to turn your dough into something beautiful by looking at those videos. For the dough, I used my trusted Braided Masala Bread recipe or use your favorite bread recipe. If sticky, do not be afraid to add a bit more flour. Sometimes Braided Bread Rings do become a little squished but overall the results are simply stunning.
