Yummy treats



Here are recent pics of a yummy treat I ate while dining at the Brick Hotel in Newtown. The pear&apple salad with butter lettuce, walnuts, pears, apple slices and topped with a special dressing I've never tasted before...Pear Champagne vinagairette dressing...Delish!!!($7)
I have been craving for this salad..so I will try to recreate it at home. I could not find this special dressing in my local store, so I had to specially order it from Chef Central (Perfect Pear dressing).
The other pic, is a sinful lunch I picked out..grilled pastrami Reuben sandwich with saurkraut and swiss cheese. ($10).

Jollibee fried peach mango pie

Hmmm.  I went to Jollibee in Jersey city, NJ to get one of the peach mango pies.  Unfortunately they were out, so I got the banana langka instead. Then I had one of those light bulb moments to make my own Peach mango pie.  Crazy huh?  The important thing was the filling.  The filling would be a little bit hard if the yellow ripe mangoes were out of season.  Luckily Del Monte now sells them in the little plastic cups.  Filling: 1 C of yellow sliced and cubed mangoes, ripe and peaches  or Del Monte cubed mangoes and peaches with syrup 2 T peach jam preserves 1T white sugar In a little saucepan, cook the mangoes in sugar for 1 minute in medium heat until mangoes soften.  Add the peach jam and mix.

Mom's Cooking

I was watching the show on Lifetime called Mom's cooking. This recipe was inpired by that show. This is called Salmon Wellington. Intead of puff pastry, I accidently got the phyllo dough. But still turned out well. I would cook this for a party gathering again, since it was easy to make and it's healthy. Ingredients: Puff Pastry crust (1 sheet for each salmon) 1-2 Salmon filets lemon salt and pepper egg white wash frozen spinach Mozorella cheese Directions: Season salmon with salt and pepper, squeeze some lemon and let sit. Defrost the puff pastry and and unroll. Place on filet of salmon in each crust. Top with a slice of mozorella and frozen spinach. Fold like a burrito. Brush with egg white wash. Bake in oven Preheated 425 F for 30 minutes or until brown.

Mango Cream Pie

My brother shared with me a mango cream pie recipe along with my friend's mother who made it out of mango puree. This recipe is sort of a combination of both. The best mango cream pie has yet to be from Red Ribbon bakery...sweet crust, mangoes and whipped cream. For good results get sweet ripe mangoes for this recipe or add some white sugar to it. If you can't find any good mangoes, you can also try mango puree and just mix it with the cream mixture. Ingredients: 2-3 cups of fresh yellow mangoes, ripe and sweet..cut thinly 1c organic heavy whipping cream 1 small can condensed milk 1/2 c hot water or hot mangoe puree (heated up) 2 sachets of Knox white gelating powder, (2) Pilsbury ready made pie crustor or graham cracker crust, baked according to directions on package 1 tsp vanilla flavoring 1 Tbsp crushed graham cracker crumbs ...
