Apple tart

We rolled out a block of puff pastry and cut it into four circles. Then we chopped up some apples into small cubes and added some cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar to them.
Next we put the apples on the pastry and put them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
When we took them out, the dough had puffed up and become really crispy, and they tasted really good.
I would definitely make these again.

rice and beans


                             
                                                                  Rice and Beans.
First we fried unions and peppers in a pot, then we added garlic. Once they were cooked we added some tomato paste, black beans, oregano, cumin, bay leafs, and vinegar. We cooked them together for about five minutes. then we added vegetable stock, salt and pepper, and rice. We let it boil for a bit, then we turned down the heat and let it sit for 20 minutes or so. Once the rice was cooked we took it out of the pot and tried it. It could have used some more beans then it had, I was defiantly expecting more beans, but it was still good besides that.  I am probably going to make it again.

fuit pizza

                                                                fruit pizza
We spent 2 days making the fruit pizza. The first day we made the sugar Cookie dough and the second day we made the cream cheese sauce and finished the pizza.

We rolled out the dough for the crust and placed it on a pan. Then we baked it for 20 minutes or so.
Meanwhile we made the cream cheese topping. We mixed a block of cream cheese with icing sugar, and then we mixed in vanilla to give it some flavor.
When the crust came out of the oven we let it cool for 10 to 20 minutes. After that we spread the sauce all over it and then cut up grapes, strawberries, and other fruit and put them on top.
we also fried up some apples with butter, Cinnamon, and brown sugar to put on top.
I didn't think I would really like it but it was surprisingly good. I will probably make this again.

Coffee cake

Coffee cake

For the coffie cake We started with mixing flour, cinnamon, and sugar. Then we cut in the butter until it was like crumbs. We took out a cup of the crumbs for later. After that we added eggs and vanilla. Then we mixed it until it was smooth.  Next we added more flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Then we mixed in the apple sauce and stirred it until it was smooth. We poured the batter into a buttered pan, and we sprinkled the crumbs on top of it and put it in the oven.
It tasted much better than I expected it to, and It had the same texture of carrot cake.
I would defiantly make this cake again.
