What's better than banana bread? Chocolate banana bread, of course! This is also a one-bowl recipe, which is a huge plus. Although this is probably better as a dessert, I have managed to convince myself that this is perfectly acceptable as breakfast.
It seems like every few posts, I'm complaining about the weather. Well, today we'll hit 89°F here in Philadelphia. My poor dog is laying on the tile kitchen floor with the fan blasting in his face. When it gets this hot, I seldom want to bake, since heating up the house is probably the [...]
Today we got the first glimpses of summer, aka the high 70s and humid. We do a lot of home improvement stuff on weekends, so we're always working up a sweat. I craved something sweet but didn't want to bake anything and further heat up our house ... milkshake it is! I love, love, [...]
Okay, so this past 2 weeks, I've been making so many recipes that require egg yolks. So now I'm left with an overrun mason jar of egg whites. There are only so many egg whites omelets I can eat. I thought the easiest way to get rid of egg whites fast is by making an [...]
I did a thing! So let's back up, in February I went on a family trip to Monterey, California. There, we stayed at Portola Hotel & Spa. The hotel itself is nice and all, but the best part was this massive oatmeal chocolate chip cookie they greet you with at the front desk. This is [...]
Yesterday was Mother's Day, and I didn't get to celebrate with my mom since we live on opposite coasts of the country. But in reflecting about my childhood with my mom, I am often brought back to going to Asian grocery stores (mainly 99Ranch). Like most grocery stores, Asian grocery stores often come equipped with [...]
A while back, I was perusing the aisles of Whole Foods when I discovered their cookie section in the bakery. It was basically a display case of a few dozen options for cookies. I immediately gravitated towards these waffle cookies. They were these bite-sized cookies and just so darn cute. However, at $11.99/lb, I [...]
Have you ever had friends over for a dinner party and you're left with all this wine? You could drink it yourself, but I personally think if it's old wine, just cook with it! One of my favorite ways to use up old red wine is making poached pears. It looks so decadent and [...]
When I first met my husband, he didn't have a lot of kitchen gadgets. But the one thing he did have was an ice cream maker. When we first got married, I was pretty set on donating the ice cream maker, since I don't really see the merit of homemade ice cream, since I can [...]
Yoo-hoo! This past weekend, we welcomed May and I baked up a storm. The theme was all things chocolate. So this coming week, you'll be seeing so. much. chocolate, and I'm thrilled about it all. First up on the list is this decadent chocolate lava cake (aka molten chocolate cake or petit gâteau, if you're [...]
