Light Alfredo Sauce & Cheesy Garlic Ciabatta
Some people are eager to slip out of their work shoes and tight pants after a long day at the workplace, but I am anxious to get into the kitchen. My inspiration comes from busy evenings, ice cream, and strawberries that have just been washed. Maybe other topics are better suited for another day. When […]

Strawberry Danish French toast
As a child, going to donut shops was my favorite thing. I knew what I wanted each time: maple long-johns with chocolate milk, with the option of anything pink or chocolate glazed. Every time, gold. My palate has evolved over the years. I prefer the kinds without holes and frosting and avoid anything with the words ‘long’ […]

French Toast Sugar Cookies
Attention: These cookies are similar to French toast but also like a Pop Tart with brown sugar and cinnamon. It’s like reclaiming childhood! These pillowy cinnamony maple clouds are so delicious that I couldn’t wait to share them. Cinnamon cookie + Maple Buttercream Frosting = edible gold. But I also believe I have figured out an […]

Cold Brew Mocha Frappe
Cold brew Coffee. Creamy blended milk Decadent dark chocolate. Well, good morning, sunshine! Since 2004, I have been obsessed with frappuccinos. After learning that one had more calories than a boat, I went back to my Americano. I’m relieved that the muffin top was avoided. You should try cold-brew coffee if you haven’t done so […]

Candied Ginger & Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookies have a little attraction for me. I don’t have a coy crush, the kind that involves sweet nibbles or playful looks. The kind that makes you go into a closet alone and eat 15 cookies compulsively before you realize what has happened. That kind of crush, the “7-minutes in Heaven” type. I have a little crush on Joy […]

No-Bake cookie pancakes
No-Bake Pancakes with Cookie. No butter or sugar is added, and it is vegan, with my favorite new condiment. Or sprinkles, as I call them. These are essentially my no-bake cookie bars, but not in bar form. They’re crumbly so that I can use them in things like almond butter toast, pancakes, and yogurt. These […]

Sangria with Mint and Citrus
I haven’t drunk wine all my life. My husband had to convince me that I should try something other than the merlot wine I was drinking. I was stupid. I should have opened the floodgates for wine years ago. Now that I’ve said it, at least we can move on. We were invited to a […]

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Pancakes
These pancakes were made because I love white-chocolate macadamia nuts cookies. As a student, I used to work at a sandwich store and would always volunteer to bake cookies. Why? While playing with cookie dough is awesome, white chocolate chips and Macadamia Nuts end up at the bottom of the container as “waste.” Guess what? Guess […]

Strawberry Cake Magic Shell
A little girl was once born, and as she grew older, she loved ice cream. It was so popular that it was a regular part of her diet, even during her university years. She regretted her sweet tooth and felt worse after a few too many visits to the soft serve machine. She tried her […]
