Life Through My Eyes
Banoffee: The name sounds to be derived from the words banana and toffee… which are both ingredients in this pie. For the toffee part, I made my own dulce de leche by putting condensed milk in the oven with a water bath at a high heat. What I used: 2 [14 ounce] cans of sweetened condensed milk …
I love Pina Colada’s … and a Strawberry Pina Colada is even better! What I used: 14 ounce bag of [Dole] frozen sliced strawberries, slightly thawed [I used half of the bag] 2 cups of [Dole] canned Pineapple Juice 15 ounce can of cream of coconut 1/2 cup of half and half Ice
Over the weekend, I made banana bread pudding. I had come across a recipe a few days prior that was apparently Magnolia Bakery’s recipe for their banana bread pudding… and I couldn’t wait to recreate it. I was so pleasantly surprised that the flavor was just like Magnolia’s and I know I’ll be making this …
Very similar to the Strawberry Trifle I make, this version also has bananas in it! This was one of the desserts I made for our Thanksgiving family get-together this year, and everyone loved it. The other dessert was my Oreo Cheesecake. What I love about trifles like this is how easy it is to put-together …
This dessert couldn’t be easier to assemble. And it is absolutely delicious. Like can’t stop eating it until it’s done and you still want more delicious.

The above links I mentioned all are physical copies of the book (paperback), but if you prefer digital books, it is also …
This one is pretty self explanatory [just by it’s name]! I diced up mangoes. Same with strawberries [fresh from our backyard]! Added in some chopped mint [also from the backyard!]… and mixed everything together. Today, when I made this, I served it over baked tilapia: I seasoned the tilapia with black pepper, paprika, garlic, chili …
I’ve done Blackberry Crumble Bars in the past, and early November I made something similar: a blackberry cobbler. What you need is: 1 stick of [unsalted] butter 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of self-rising flour 1 cup of [1%] milk 2 cups [fresh] blackberries To make the Blackberry Cobbler, what I did was: Preheat …
I love mangoes, but ironically not anything made out of mangoes. This mango ice cream, however, is something the rest of my family loves [and everyone else]. Weird side note: my brother Ayaz won’t eat mangoes but loves mango juice! You need: 1 can of Mango pulp 12 ounces of whipped cream, softened 1 [14 ounce] can …
