Sweet Potato

     Growing up in the Philippines eating sweet potato is an every day affair. We can buy fried caramelized sweet potato cooked right along the road is a common sight in our town. And this dessert is one of the most cheap snacks you can get but is the healthiest right? The other day hubby was crazing for sweet yam/potato. I looked at our pantry and is only one piece but then it does not stopped my from cooking/boiling it to tender. After cooking it I let it cool then peel the skin. Then I mashed the potato put it in an oven dish spread some brown sugar then some marsh mallows bake it till the brown sugar looks caramel or brown.

Apple Crumble

Hubby love anything with apple specially if it is for dessert. The other day I found this simple recipe for Apple Crumble. I check my pantry of course I do not have  Granny Smith apple. I drove to a nearest farm and found out they also do not have Granny Smith yet instead they refer me another kind of green apple and the name is Goldenrod.  I taste it and it was almost the same taste as Granny smith. So I went home and immediately get busy baking for my honey. Here is my Apple Crumble.

Ingredients:
Topping:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup rolled oats
 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Filling:
4 large apples, such as Granny Smith (I  used Goldenrod)
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2. For the topping, place the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl. Mix well.
3. For the filling, peel, core and slice the apples. Layer the apple slices in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apple slices. Sprinkle the topping mixture over the top.
4. Bake until the apples have softened and the crumble is lightly golden, 20- 25 minutes. Serve warm.

Sweet dessert

                I had read somewhere that when couple shares their dessert together they will last forever!! Last Tuesday after my last day teaching Rel. Ed. at the church hubby and I went to go dinner at O'Mally's resto, I ordered fish and chips with vegetable and a salad. After our dinner the waitress offered us their dessert and hubby picked this rich creamy chocolate brownie with whipping cream, maraschino and an ice cream, ain't that sinful? ^_^

Mango Gelatin

The not so good remark with this dessert is that you can't place it in the refrigerator for a long time specially if it is already slice, it will turn pale white it doesn't look good. In other words consume it all and nothing will be put back in the refrigerator.

mango gelatin:

2tbsps unflavored gelatin

1/4 c tap water

3 medium sized ripe mangoes

1 cup cottage cheese

1 300ml can condensed milk

1 170g can nestle cream

Procedure:

Soften gelatin in water for about 5 mins. Dissolve over a pan of boiling water and set aside.

Peel and coarsely chop flesh of 2 mangoes, setting aside the remainder for garnishing.

Soften cottage cheese in a blender until smooth. Blend in gelatin and the rest of the ingredients. Pour into indidual custard or dessert cups and garnish with remaining mango. Chill until set. Kaon na!
