With some exceptions ( white chocolate in fresh ginger ice cream, caramel corn, marshmallows, and candied peanuts, for example), I tend to like things that aren't too sweet. That occasionally confounds people because I'm a baker and I am no stranger to sugar, honey, and maple syrup.
Cream cheese pound cake is simple to make and even easier to eat. We went to a high school softball game this past weekend with the kiddos. My friend's sister is the head coach for a local team and her games are always fun to watch.
As I sit here drinking my warm cup of DIY pistachio milk (I highly recommend heating it up!) I'm thinking about social media and more specifically its role during the holidays. The holidays are a pretty intense time. Families convene, friends catch-up and more often than not lives are compared.
You may have seen these light-as-air Chinese swiss rolls in a Chinese bakery near you. Not to be mistaken with traditional Swiss rolls, we wanted to make the lighter, Asian-style Chinese Swiss roll recipe. It's composed of a very light and fluffy sponge cake that's only slightly sweet, and a thin layer of sweetened whipped cream.
Skip the Starbucks run and try a boozy iced coffee you can make in 2 min! To say that I'm addicted to Starbucks is a bit of an understatement. I'm the type of person who would regularly buy a skinny vanilla latte or a green tea lemonade because I couldn't figure out if I wanted coffee or a refreshing tea.
Are you ready for a 3 ingredient meal? I bet you are after all the cooking + eating last week, right? Welcome to my new favorite lunch. And breakfast. And dinner. Also, welcome to my new favorite kitchen tool: The Julienne Peeler Holy smokes am I in love.
This savory, homemade Fresh Marinara Sauce is bursting with ripe, juicy tomatoes, savory garlic, and fresh herbs...but the best part is that it's ready in 30 minutes! Happy Friday, friends! I'm back today with another fabulous recipe that's amazingly full of flavor for being so quick and easy to throw together.
Dulce de Leche Dessert Nachos is a quick and easy dessert recipe with crunchy cinnamon sugar pita chips, ice cream, fresh fruit and decadent dulce de leche drizzle for a sweet treat you will be dying to get more of! The season is finally changing and fruit is starting to come around.
I was going to make this last week. With my sisters. Cause it's kind of a Filipino thing and I wanted to be a good Philippines host and everything. But we did this instead, which is like the most adventurous thing I've done in the last 6 months. Woohoo!
Sometimes we try our best to have our children eat healthfully, but despite our best efforts they want nothing to do with the fruit and veggies we offer. One solution? Make art out of healthy food! Even the pickiest eaters can't resist the fun presentation.
