Cilantro soup and rice

Canary Island Cilantro Soup
Recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/32441

I grilled some salmon to put in there, topped it off with feta cheese because the flavors are perfect for it. And instead of beef broth, I used the vietnamese pho base.

Catfish and parsley mashed potatoes

No recipe really for this one, threw a bunch of things together because I wanted to finish off the catfish before it got freezer burned

Vanilla blackberry cupcake

1 ¾ cups of sugar
Beat well, then add:
Add 2 large eggs
2 Teaspoons of pure vanilla
½ teaspoon of salt
2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
2 ½ cups of flour

Beat well, fill cupcake liners halfway and use piping bag to add a generous mound of blackperry pie filling, then continue filling liners with cupcake batter, and bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes. For icing, recipe is here.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 T unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 c + 1 Tb sugar

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare 6 muffin tins. Beat butter & sugar until light & fluffy. Beat in vanilla. With mixer on low, add flour, baking soda, salt & milk in three parts, alternating dry & wet, starting & ending with the flour. Beat until just combined. Set aside.
In a clean bowl beat the egg whites on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter until combined. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites & coconut.
Fill muffin tins half full. Bake for 20 -25 minutes until golden or a tester comes clean. Allow to cool completely. Makes 6 cupcakes

Lime Glaze
1/2 c powdered sugar
1 t lime (about 1/2 of a lime)
zest from 1/2 lime

shredded coconut (optional)

Mix sugar, lime juice & zest together. Add milk 1 t at a time until desired consistency, usually between 1 & 2. Glaze cupcakes & sprinkle with shredded coconut if you wish. Let sit until glaze has set. Makes enough glaze for 6 cupcakes
