I found myself watching a Good Eats episode titled 'Milk Made' on the YouTube one night, and featured on it was the "Tres Leches Cake". According to Alton, Tres Leches Cake is as American as the Apple Pie itself. Needless, to say, that episode left me with an extreme desire to try Alton Brown's Tres Leches cake recipe. I was going to have a few friends over for a potluck and decided it would be a perfect time to make this cake.
As you may have figured already, I have never had a tres leches cake prior to this baking experience so I didn't know what to expect. However, my sweet tooth and mouth can tell a good cake from a bad. This cake is perfectly moist, rich and every bit of it leaves you with a greater satisfaction. The cake itself is easy to make and I definitely encourage you to try it. The recipe itself can be found

This month's challenge was to bake a pizza. I decided to make this pizza when I was hosting a potluck with my coworkers. We made about 7 pizza pies between the 6 of us with variety of sauces and toppings. I made the basic marinara sauce, pesto sauce and alfredo sauce. We had toppings that included - mushrooms, onions, pepperoni, habanero, sage, jalapenos, olives and feta cheese. 
We made the apple strudel with the phyllo dough. Up until now, I have never seen the unbaked phyllo dough sheets. It turns out that these fragile things (aka..phyllo dough) are very thinly fragile sheets of dough made out of water, flour and salt. We took layered 5 of those phyllo dough sheets with butter and sugar. Then we added the apple filling, which comprises of 1 inch peeled, cored and diced apple pieces sauted in melted butter, sugar and cinnamon. We also added graham cracker crumbs and ground toasted pistachio nuts. Once the filling is on the laminated phyllo sheets, we roll it and bake it until golden brown and the result is what i got above. It's relatively easy and quick to make.
