Apple turnovers

They just turned out perfectly. I used the filling from my apple pie and the leftover puff pastry dough from the buregs and I got these delicious turnovers.

Snickerdoodle Muffins

Snickerdoodle Muffins

Yes, that's what I said. Muffins. Those delicious cinnamony sugary cookies into a muffin form. This is the second time I made them, and I love them. I made them before going to class one day and I definitely spelled like cinnamon for a while, so worth it. 

 

Nails of the Moment

NOTM: This was definitely a procrastipainting night.

In my opinion, these were more work then they were worth. I don't have the patience to let the layers dry in between, so they got a little messed up and i'm itching to fix them.

Caramel Swirl Cheesecake

Caramel Swirl Cheesecake

I am a serious cheesecake lover. Of all desserts in the world, cheesecake is my favorite. When my roommates mom taught me how to make cheesecake last year I was the happiest person ever. Since then I've made many cheesecakes, some turning out terribly others quite delicious. Last night I made my first caramel swirl cheesecake. I'm not a fan of the caramel we used, but the cheesecake is still delicious. 

 I meant to take more pictures of the process, but I got distracted. We have the graham cracker crumbs before they turn into crust and the cream cheese I started with.

Armenian Beureg

Beureg, Bureg, Burek, its all the same. Transliterating from Armenian to English is just a matter of opinion but the food is delicious no matter how you spell it. This week I made Bureg, its shaped like a triangle and filled normally with cheese, or cheese and spinach. I made both kinds. Half with just cheese then I added spinach to the other half, I love spinach and melted cheese so naturally these are probably my favorite things to eat ever. I used my aunts recipe, but like an idiot I bought puff pastry dough instead of the phyllo dough. Needless to say I couldn't let a cheese mixture go to waste, so I improvised. Next time I'll be following the recipe a little closer ;) 

Just one tray of many :) 

White Chicken Enchiladas

White Chicken Enchiladas

My roommate and I have already made these twice. I love them. I could eat them every day. 

Here is a recipe, I can't find the one I used before which makes me really sad, but this looks to be about the same recipie http://damndelicious.tumblr.com/post/16811811825/white-chicken-enchiladas-with-green-chile-sour-cream. We added avocado and extra cheese, but other than that, it's just the same :)  

 This makes me want to make them again! 

Manti

Procrastiblogging?

I got lost between finals, summer school, and summer and somehow lost my blogging. Fortunately the baking and cooking hasn't stopped. I'll try and update all the things from before. For now I'll start with last nights adventure. Trying to learn Armenian cooking.

I made a dish called manti, let's call it an Armenian wonton of sorts. I used my aunts recipe and it turned out really well for the first time. Usually you eat it in soup with yogurt but I settled for just yogurt seeing as its over 100 degrees.
