Pastries/3 recipes

Great recipe, measurements worked out perfectly. Used the resulting jelly with Apple stuffed pork chops (linked below). The sweet slightly tart would work great with some spice, perhaps red pepper flakes added for a sweet-spicy kick.

Cheesy beef and broccoli wrapped in crispy phyllo pastry. Quite easy, inexpensive and gosh darn yummy.

Chunks of beef steak are slowly cooked in a crock pot with carrots, potatoes, onions and tomatoes. In the end, top the succulent casserole with some buttery and flakey pastry to form a pie, after baking, it's golden brown and delicious.

Excellent and very quick and easy to make. A very mild Indian style feel. The tomatoes added a tasty sauce for the tender pork medallions. Will make again.

This delicious chocolate bundt cake contains ground flax seeds, chopped walnuts, buttermilk and bittersweet chocolate, not only tasty but also full of goodness.

Light, refreshing and very tasty dish.

A delicious way to enjoy cherry tomatoes. We have lots of cherry tomatoes growing at our backyard, they are juicy, sweet and screaming the ripeness to us. This recipe is a perfect fit, simple ingredients, easy to make, and it tastes absolutely delicious.

It's easy to produce baked goods using this healthy version of a buttermilk baking mix. Substitute for Buttermilk Bisquick. This makes a great substitute for Bisquick or other baking mix.

Juicy chicken breast stuffed with cheese, shallots and cheese. The phyllo really helps hold in the moisture to keep the chicken breast moist. This is a reduced fat version of a popular recipe and it's equally as tasty in my opinion. If you wish to reduce the fat even further omit the cheese altogether.

Simple and basic

A classic pumpkin pie spike with rum. Dark, rich and delicious.

These Parmesan sesame twists are addictive, they are golden brown and crispy, parmesan, sesame and thyme leaves are delicious combination.

Very moist and fluffy inside, golden brown outside; sour cream added the extra moist and tangy flavor, I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and I thought it was the right sweetness. If you have some ripe bananas on hand or you love banana bread, I will definitely recommend this recipe.

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

If you can't find orange cake mix, use white or golden---just use orange juice in place of the water when preparing the mix, and add 1 tsp. of orange extract/flavoring. To the topping I also add 3/4 tsp. each of vanilla and orange extract. Garnish, if desired, with Mandarin orange segments.

Slow-cooked beef patties in a creamy mushroom and onion gravy. Real comfort food.
