Pop Tarts~Raspberry


These Pop Tarts are the current hit with my kids. It's incredibly simple to make and tastes fantastic! I used store-bought refrigerated pie crusts which worked well with their favorite jam or spread. We tried various jam flavors and peanut butter; in the end, we all agreed that the raspberry jam tasted the best. This is a fun taste experiment to do with your kids. Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to use a pumpkin shape cookie cutter, and topped-off the tarts with some colorful sprinkles. So, do play with the different shapes and variety of jam when you are making this. Have fun!

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
