Friends, family, strangers - welcome to my blog! My name is Trina, and I cook and bake as a hobby. I'd like to keep track of my recipes, as well as share them with my friends and family.

Cooking and baking your own food is so much healthier than buying pre-made meals at the store, and even restaurants can be a bit shifty sometimes. When you cook your own food, you know exactly what is going into your meal, and you can make it as healthy, fat-free, and flavourful as you want. Or as fatty and hearty as you want. Admittedly, most of my recipes (so far) are on the fatty, hearty, chock-full-of-meat side, but I assure you there's some of my famous vegan baking (indiscernable from baking with dairy and eggs) recipes in here!

Leftover Pie Crust Tarts

I got a great idea as I was making an apple pie, and was wondering what to do with the large amounts of crust that I inevitably had to cut off the sides of the pie. I puzzle-pieced the leftover scraps together in the cups of a muffin tin, and filled each mini-shell with a mixture of frozen fruit, sugar, and cornstarch.

Pictured is raspberry - fill the shell full with frozen raspberries, and add a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of cornstarch per shell. Bake at 425 F for about 15 minutes, stirring each tart at the 10 minute mark (or when the fruit is no longer frozen) to mix in the sugar and cornstarch.
