Puff Samosa

It's been a while since I posted anything here. With grad school and work, it's been tough being able to focus on cooking for fun rather than for the necessity of it. But with the end of the semester, I am so happy to be back and trying out more recipes! 

Samosas are one of my favorite pastries! The filling inside are potato, carrots (I usually use peas, but I didn't have them on hand) and tuna. Instead of using traditional samosa skin, I liked how this recipe used puff pastry instead.

It's good to be back! :) 

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Red Lobster is one of my favorite restaurants and anyone who goes there knows they have those amazing, buttery, and mouth watering biscuits that they serve before you order your food. So when I found this copycat recipe of those biscuits on Pinterest I HAD to give it a try. The results were far from disappointing! They are fluffy, cheesy and full of savory aroma. These are so easy to make, you just mix all the ingredients together and just scoop them onto the baking sheets.

Apple Pie Cupcakes

First dessert of Fall 2016! What's fall without apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg infused desserts! It's been a while since I've baked any desserts so I wanted to try something different. This recipe caught my eye since it was a mix between an apple pie and cupcake. 

These cupcakes are filled with diced apples (like the filings of apple pies) in the middle as well as fresh apples in the cake mix and topped with spiced cream cheese frosting. The original recipe doesn't use spiced cream cheese frosting but rather used a buttercream frosting instead. I personally like cream cheese frosting more so I opted for that. I found a different way to prepare cream cheese frosting in the comment section from that same recipe that added cinnamon and nutmeg to tie in all the flavor! For the recipe click here! 

Breakfast Muffins

These breakfast/anytime muffins are a tasty alternative breakfast/snack choices to have around. They are savory and cheesy and a bit smoky from the hot dogs in them. As always, I add more cheese then required in the recipe because again why not! (I added 2 kinds of cheese, shredded mozzarella and cheddar) I know these turned out well because my husband who isn't a cheese fanatic like I am couldn't resist them. I did omit some items from the recipe since I didn't have them on hand but the nice thing about this recipe is that it is really easy to play around and isn't like baking desserts which require exact measurements.

Hot Dog Cheddar Muffins

"This has my name written all over it!" was what I said to my husband when these precious little muffins came out of the oven. I also substituted hot dogs for bacon in the recipe. These muffins have a slight sweetness in them along with the smokiness of the hot dogs and the mild taste of cheddar. I added shredded mozzarella in them because why not! They taste delicious as a fast breakfast alternative when heated in the microwave or oven.
