I love making baked goods that use sour cream, because I always have trouble finishing a tub of sour cream. It also happens to give cake a great moist texture. I made this sour cream chocolate chip coffee cake for co-workers and the flavour and texture received great reviews. For those of you who aren’t familiar with coffee cake, coffee cake doesn’t necessarily contain coffee. It is often simply served with a cup of coffee.
I don’t actually like broccoli, but I really like this salad. Everyone that has ever tried it has loved it. In fact, I made it for my dad’s packed lunch recently, and he said that it was the best salad he has ever had. It’s perfect for bbqs, pot lucks, and picnics, because you can make it in advance.
Chinese (Cantonese) egg tarts are subtly sweet snacks/desserts that consist of a egg custard filling (notpudding-y) that is baked in pastry shells that are either flaky puff pastry or soft, shortcrust pastry. Eventually, I will make the pastry from scratch, but for now, the store bought puff pastry tart shells work beautifully and make these egg tarts one of the quickest and easiest desserts to put together. My family thought that these were even better than the ones that we buy from Chinese bakeries. Now that I know how easy they are to make, I’ll never buy them again.
