Recipie #1......... Forminhas (canapés)

Its hell of a task  when your are either home alone or there is an unexpected party you have to throw or maybe you just want a break.

A easy cheap solution for this would be why not cook ? I am not talking here about cooking masterchef style with the yummy , tempting dishes they show  but for a replacement to all those why not try something simple and easy to make.

Cooking serves as a huge advantage bringing people together.

So today mummy gets you a very simple and easy snack that can save you from sudden hunger swings as well as unexpected party showers.

Forminhas (canapés)

 Forminhas are sweet-savory canapés commonly served as a starter at parties, weddings, and other occasions. The base pastry can be replaced by any other thin cracker which is easily available.

The filling is basically called the  Russian salad made of boiled vegetables like carrots, potatoes, peas with pineapples cubes for a sweet bite, combined with mayonnaise.
