Lately I haven't been doing any serious baking. My Sisters prom was last Saturday so I was helping out with that. I made cupcakes for my best friends champagne party which was the same day. ( champagne party is a party some people have, mostly in LA and they help the people get ready for prom and everything). For my best friend I made chocolate mint cupcakes, which were a hit! , unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. I made a cake for my sister but due to my moms crazy driving the whole top layer of the cake slid off. So it ended up being a snack while waiting for my sisters hair to be done. Overall GREAT weekend. My sister looked soo gorgeous!
p.s ( we're twins )

Flaky Apple Pie
This I made really quick. The apples are cooked in butter, brown sugar, lemon juice & a little all spice (couldnt find my nutmeg & cinnamon). I cooked it until it all melted and soft then I added flour to thicken it. Not a good idea. My nana says that if you're going to add flour for a thickener, do it while everythings cold so there are no lumps. I did manage to get all the lumps out & covered it so the apples could soften. I layed a few sheets of phyllo dough on the bottow of the pan (butter between each layer)and then tucked a few on top and tried to ruffle them as best as I could. It tasted great. The lemon in it just gave it a different taste to apple pie that I wasn't used to. I would definitely try this again!
Long Journey to Food 4 less :)
So yesterday I told my Nana that I wanted to learn how to make greens. So after our trip to Michaels ,we stopped at Food 4 Less and picked up some Collards,turkey neck/wings & ham hocks & fresh Tilapia. I grabbed a few apples & peaches as well so I could make a fresh apple pie and peach cobbler. When we get home I felt like I was a little kid ..watching her every mood and asking a million questions. So now I would say I am a certified greens expert! (not really) but I will be :) .. We coated the fish in corn meal and seasoning , and fried them. When everything was done we cooked us a sweet potato and made our plates. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! Might of been the best I've ever had? hmmm , (sorry mom, have to give credit to the original)

Mixed Berry Tart
This was very easy to do.
I saw it on the Pillsbury website.
All you need is a can of crescent roll biscuits , some vanilla pudding mix & pie filling & some fresh or frozen mixed berries.
I took chunks of the dough rolled it in a ball then rolled it out with a glass jar (cant find rolling pin) and put them in my Texas sized cupcake tin. I flattened the dough on the bottom, then smushed it up the sides to form a cup. I cooked it for 8 minutes when I took it out it was all puffed up & looked nothing like a cup, so I got a small measuring spoon flattened the bottom and sides to reform the cups and cooked it for 5 more mintues. Let it cool then added the pudding & put it in the fridge. After that I got my frozen mixed berries . sprinkled them with sugar put them in the microwave for like 10 seconds added more sugar then put them on top of the pudding.
