Strawberry Cheese Cake Bundt Cake #BundtBakers

Strawberry Cheese Cake Bundt Cake

I’m so happy to be able to share with all of you this recipe, it was a pretty difficult week, and I wasn’t sure I was going to make it but I did it.
This month our host Anshie give us a challenge, make a bundt with a filling, and it was a really difficult task, not only because sometimes making a cake with a filling its messy, but because, the it has to stay inside the cake, like when you cut and is like a hidden surprise.
So in the spirit of spring and because I love cheese, I made for you this delicious tangy and super soft bundt, it is perfect for tea or coffee in the afternoon and the flavors are just the perfect combination for this recipe.
I really love this cake and I know the the filling is not in the center but it tastes really good and am sure you will love it too.
Enjoy.

#BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme.
Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on the BundtBakers home page.

We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. The theme for April is “Hidden Surprise” – Bundt cakes with fillings or stuffing. There was no constraint on filling and flavor choices.The only
requirement was that the cake be filled/stuffed inside. Anshie from SpiceRoots was our host for this month.

Cheese and Pineapple Bread Pudding #SundaySupper

Cheese and Pineapple Bread Pudding

I love holidays a lot and my family too, sharing and spending time together are great things about this events, the only part that I don’t really like is the amount of leftovers I have during this times of the year.
Sometimes we eat leftovers for like a week, specially in thanksgiving, and by the time we finish I don’t really know what else to make with turkey; for easter, it very similar, but easier for me to create different recipes for my family to enjoy.
This time I have lots of bread, and the perfect way for me to use day old bread it’s to make bread pudding. This is a great recipe if you want a bread pudding with a different twist, cheese and pineapple are the perfect combinations to make it more interesting and a little different from everything else.
Not very sweet and cook to perfection, is definitely a new favorite in my house and maybe the new request for our easter dinner.
Enjoy.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a bowl mix together, condensed milk, eggs, evaporated milk, nutmeg, pineapple juice and butter, then add cheese and pineapple, add to the bread cut in pieces, I used 1 loaf of french bread cut in cubes.
  3. With your hand start mixing all the ingredients until the bread is super soft and the liquid is completely absorb by the bread.
  4. Place in a grease mold, I used 4 little baking dishes the I recently bought but you can use any kind you like, just make sure you can fix all the mixture in it, don’t want to waste any drop.
  5. Bake for 50 minutes, serve hot or at room temperature.

Mini Crunchy Macaroons #TheLeftoversClub

mini crunchy macaroonsThis month for #TheLeftoverClub I have the pleasure to send some delicious mini treats to my friend Shaina Wizov from Take a bite out, and it is amazing because I feel the we know each other even thought she lives in the other side of the country.
And I choose something not so sweet or heavy because she ask me to make her a light treat.
So I made this mini crunchy macaroons, a little different from the one you normally eat because I add some corn flakes, to make it more crunchy and lest heavy with the coconut.
This recipe is inspired by a cookbook a friend gave me long time ago, and the recipe is similar but I chance a few ingredients to make it low sugar, low sodium and low carb.
If you make this macaroons, you will notice the difference because the low sugar make them just perfect, not as sweet and heavy on the flavor and the best part you can eat 3 of these, Amazing!
So hope you enjoy and enjoy and enjoy.
