Spinach & Bacon Bread

I was quite skeptical in making this bread initially, all because the recipe stated all purpose flour instead of high protein flour.  I've never tried any other flour other than high protein for bread.  Just for curiosity sake and since the review for this bread says that it's so tasty that it's a good idea to make double the quantity,  I had to try it out.  It doesn't look quite right when my machine was kneading the dough somehow it looks like it's not getting smooth and elastic. So....I took it out and manually knead alittle and it becomes smooth but not very elastic.  Anyway, I just shaped it and let it rised....come what may.  It came out very well and the aroma of the bacon was so distinct.  Thumbs up for this bread.

Mango & Blueberry Tartlets

Making tartlets requires alot of time and patience unlike making a big tart where you just dump the whole fillings on the pastry case.  What prompt me to make these was I happen to have a few days of free and easy time and because  there were two tub of fruits fillings waiting to be used before expiry.  Managed to make 8 mango and 12 mini blueberry tartlets.  The shortcrust pastry really melts in the mouth and the fruit fillings was not too sweet.  I guess, it's well worth the while for the work involved afterall.

Coconut Chocolate Cupcake

I,m not much into cupcakes until recently when I was watching a channel called Food Network Asia, and this particular cupcakes keep coming on and on. I suppose it just got into me, the coconut stuff and chocolate is a good match.   I just had to try it out and have a taste of it.  So, I took a basic chocolate cupcake recipe and made a cream cheese frosting, coat them with fresh grated coconut and whoa....la, here it is.  It taste as good as it looks.
