Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Hello Lovelies~

Ok, so I have been watching too much Food Network channel, I admit! Lol watching Adam Gertler's banana cream pie over and over again made me wanna eat banana cream pie! Haha

I don't know what's in Bandera's Banana Cream Pie, so I improvised. Here's what I did:

Ingredients for graham pie-base:

Some graham crackers

Melted butter

Put the Crackers in food processor and blend till sandy texture. Add in melted butter as much as needed to form the right consistency. Not too soft, workable into pie dish.

Blind bake the crust and let cool.

Ingredients for custard:

2c Milk

1/3 c Flour

3 Egg yolk

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 c sugar

2 tbsp butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

Heat up milk with (flour, salt, sugar). When simmering, take some of the milk mixture and add into beaten egg yolks to temper it. Then mix all of it into the pot.

Chop up some bananas and lay them inside the baked pie crust.

Rough chop some chocs you have laying around ;') and scatter them around d bananas~

pour the custard made earlier~

slice some extra bananas on top.

lastly, pipe some whipped cream on top. sorry bout my ugly piping. first tyme! ;'D

ENJOY!

Unexpected Surprise for Each plus Recipe for Petit Prawn Cakes

Hello lovelies~

Tonight, I after arriving from my parents house, I tot I wanted to make sth special for hubby to eat for supper. (he's away playing Futsal ;') so I found some daily ingredients that every household I know will have them in hand. I decided to make Petit Prawn Cakes!

What you need: (this will be a rough guide because this is my own creation, I did not follow any recipe)

12 med sized prawns (seasoned and cooked)

A handful of coriander leaves

About 2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 egg

Breadcrumbs (as much as needed)

Dash of Garlic powder

Salt and pepper

There. Finish! Lol! Kidding. :'D

1) place prawns and coriander leaves in food processor. Pulse til they're blended but not too fine or paste-like. I prefer to have some chunk

s for texture.

2) take out mixture, transfer into a mixing bowl (fold in by hand) add in mayo, egg and garlic powder.

3) bit by bit, mix in the breadcrumbs until u get a consistency that you can make a mini patty out of. Not too much though, because they would then be less meat to crumbs ratio. That's not as yumm! Trust me. ;')

4) now you're ready to fry on shallow

oil. Since the prawns were already cooked, you just need to fry them til golden brown. Then voila! Yummmmmmmmmmmmeyh!

delish!

*the coriander leaves adds oriental taste to it. If you don't want that, you can opt w dill.

We ate the prawn cakes together. But hubby

suggested that we should grate some cheese on to them. Haha like we don't already have unhealthy bodies! So, voila! Petit Prawn Cakes w grated parmesan and cheddar!

with grated cheese!

We dipped them in Siracha hot chilli sauce which was heaven!

surprise dessert!!

Hubby then surprised me with a box of 4 mini cuppies from wondermilk! Wheeeeee~ supper w dessert! Loved it! And definitely love him!!

Twist on Giada's Spinach Arugula Pesto Pasta

Greetings Lovelies!

Guess what was inside this once full serving bowl? ;')

Had a great day today as hubby surprised me w a recipe that I myself wanted to try since I saw it on Giada at Home on food network. Giada's version was Fusili Spinach Arugula Pesto. Here's a link for the original recipe :

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/fusilli-with-spicy-pesto-recipe/index.html

Hubbs used spinach and arugula for the pesto as well. The walnuts too. Here in Malaysia, it's hard to find fresh jalapeño. We only have the pickled ones in our grocery stores. So we opted w

What he did different was:

Jalapeno with local cili padi (birds eye chilli)

Fusilli with Spaghetti

Asiago Cheese with Parmesan Cheese

Topped with Juicy Grilled Chicken and Cherry Tomatoes

Voila!

upclose :')

Have fun trying all!
