With cream cheese inside. There are other hot peppers as well because I wanted to see which would be best and I've found that Jalapenos feel the most right. I did not leave any of the seeds in, it was spicy enough as it is.
RECIPE
Eclairs
My first time making long eclairs as opposed to small circular ones. They were way too fragile and broke in half every time I lifted them up. In spite of that, they were just as good!
Chicken Caesar Salad
Without anchovies. This has become my favorite salad. It's so varied in ingredients, with bread, chicken, parmesan cheese, and it definitely caresses the taste buds.
RECIPE
RECIPE
Rice with Pork and Spicy Sauces
Also a bunch of vegetables. I marinated the meat in the oven. There's probably a name for this food out there, but I'm too tired from cooking to look for it~
Coconut: Chocolate, Cubes, Almonds
Every chocolate with coconut that I tasted throughout my life was good. Cannot say the same about these coconut covered almonds .. they have an awkward taste.
Couscous Tomato Soup
Couscous are the small pasta-like balls at the tip of the spoon. There's also a scarce amount of chicken meat for extra flavor. I added both whole tomatoes and canned diced tomatoes.
Vanilla and Pistachio Pudding
I have yet to find the perfect combination for the pistachio pudding, but this is closest to decent.
Pasta with Five Cheeses
Gorgonzola, Mozarella, Cheddar, Brie and Burduf - a cheese made from sheep milk. This is pretty much Macaroni and Cheese, except for the different type of pasta.
Panettone with Chocolate Cream
Also coated in a thin layer of chocolate on the sides. What sets this padticular sweet bread apart is that it has small chunks of chocolate in the cream which definitely enhance the eating experience. I also like how it forms hearts when cut.
Blood Oranges
Freshly brought from Italy. They're about as small as clementines and they taste like oranges dipped in grapefruit+lemon juice.
Roasted Chicken with Golden Potatoes
It's a shame that my oven doesn't have a rotisserie. I have way too much chicken for the small amount of potatoes so I might make more foods from it like a salad.
Grilled Skewers/Kabob with French Fries
Onions, green and red bell peppers and two types of pork. Normally I would add sausage, as well, but I am lacking it.
World's Best Lasagna
This is the first time I follow a recipe which you can find HERE . I respected every ingredient and every step, minus the oven; I used a microwave instead. It turned out great!
Profiteroles
Home-made with chocolate-vanilla ice cream on top. It's not very simple finding ice-cream during winter time.
Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes in Tomato Sauce
The tomato sauce mixed with the mashed potatoes which was not my intention, but it ended up tasting great. By the end, I added two more ladles of sauce and three nore meatballs.
French Toast
A few slices of bread soaked in one beaten egg then fried. I melted cheese on a slice as an experiment, but I've found that it tastes better without it.
Chicken Rice Pilaf
For once I have a relatively healthy and low-fat meal which not only satisfied me, but my dogs also - they got the chicken bones.
Mini Baguettes with Tzatziki
If I didn't know better, I would be willing to believe that this creamy goodness is the product of the sweet love between angels. The cucumbers are what set this dip apart from other, cheaper ones.
Strawberry Chocolates
The white balls are my favorite, they melt so easily. The other two, Milka and Schogetten, are similar in taste: delicious milk chocolate wrapped around strawberry yoghurt. That being said, though, neither chocolate really tastes like strawberry - something that is sadly very common.
French Fries with Grilled Sausage
Not my favorite type of meat to eat with french fries, but it gets the job done. I "grilled" it on a frying pan. Next time I will fry this sausage and see which method of cooking makes it taste best.
Forest Fruit Pastry with Whipped Cream
I haven't had a home-made dessert in a while so I decided to make something simple. The pastry is sponge-like and it tastes as though the fruits were picked from the Garden of Eden~
Mămăligă with Cheese and Sour Cream
A Romanian porridge made from yellow maize flour. On its own it's nothing special, but the melted cheese gives it an amazing taste. I've grated three different kinds of cheese.
Party Selection Chocolate Minis
My favorites are Wafers&Caramel, Cocos&Choco and Penut&Choco, but they all taste as though they came out of the butts of gods~
Garlic Soup with Eggs
Whole eggs and garlic make for a perfect combination. I like to put a lot of garlic in it because I live in Transylvania, land of the vampires. The soup is just as delicious cold.
White Chocolate with Hazelnuts
The one on the right is my preffered one, but it's also more expensive and, as far as I know, it's sold only in Italy.
Sweet Bread with Profiteroles
This type of sweet bread is panettone, Italian and produced by Bauli. This is my favorite store-bought sweet bread, coated in chocolate, with chocolate cream inside and "profiteroles" on top.
Pretzels with Cheese
As they are, they don't taste too special, but I got the idea to trace them through oil in which I fried bacon .. best idea I ever had in the kitchen.
Chocolate Tiramisu and Coffee Tiramisu
The chocolate one is on the left. I prefer it over the original because the ladyfingers don't get as soggy, they actually retain some of their crunchiness.
Pasta with Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes
I prefer cherry tomatoes over the normal ones, mostly because it's easier to dice them, but also because they complement the mozzarella better. I fry the diced tomatoes in olive oil before adding them.
Ravioli
I made them myself so they are pretty huge. Surprisingly enough, they have the same taste as store-bought ones, no difference in quality. Parmesan cheese on top.
Panna Cotta with Forest Fruits
It is basically pudding with a slight jelly texture. The forest fruits came from a frozen bag and I put them in the microwave with a few spoons of sugar as to not taste sour.
Sloppy Joes
Whenever I made sandwiches out of the sloppy joe meat, I always found myself not being able to fit all that I want in the buns, so I have gone for a more efficient and cleaner approach: taking bites out of uncut buns then adding as much meat as I please with the spoon.
Schnitzel
Absolutely delicious and easy to make. I ate them plain because I was too lazy to cook potatoes and I didn't want to make sandwiches out of them either since I was saving up my buns for Sloppy Joes.
