If you ask me, there are two types of muffins in the world. One is moist throughout and has a shiny, cracked top. The other is moist inside and has a crusted top. I often find the challenge with baking muffins with a crusted top is keeping the moisture inside. I want to share with [...]
When I was in college, I ate my fair share of deviled eggs. As music majors, part of giving our junior and senior recitals included hosting the reception. But with the whole "broke college student" struggle, preparing crowd-pleasing appetizers and desserts on a budget can be really hard. Enter - deviled eggs. One year, my [...]
This isn't your grandmother's chicken noodle soup. Well, if you had my grandmother, the chicken noodle soup I grew up consisted of blackened chicken infused with a bajillion bitter Asian spices. On the other hand, my mom was the cool mom who always reached for the can of Campbell's Chicken & Stars anytime we were [...]
Strawberries are finally under $3/pound here in the Northeast and I'm taking full advantage! At my church's small group, there's a running joke whenever someone's bringing snacks that if they don't have the time or don't have the culinary abilities to whip up something, they'll bring Pop-Tarts. I decided it's time to set a new [...]
Recently, I was perusing Pinterest when I read about these "fat bombs". To be honest, the name didn't sound super appetizing. These "bombs" are basically made from a high-fat source - coconut oil, cocoa butter, cream cheese, etc. They are mixed with other natural flavors - berries, chocolate, nuts, etc. You form them into bite-sized [...]
To kick off clean eating in spring and summer, my husband and I have embarked on a low-carb diet for the month of March. To be honest, the only reason I signed up for this is that low carb still meant I can have dairy. We're about halfway through the month, and the one thing [...]
To continue the strawberry party from yesterday's Mini Strawberry Pies, I'm sharing a very simple recipe for berry macarons using both strawberries and blackberries. Lately, I've regained my love for these cookies and have been baking up batch after batch. We're on the cusp of spring, it's time to snag all the berries and make these [...]
HAPPY PI DAY! To be honest, I didn't even realize it was pi/pie day until yesterday afternoon. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to celebrate pi day, I decided to do something quick and easy. What is easier than pie? Mini pies, of course! They take half the time to bake, and everybody gets the [...]
When I was growing up, my mom made these amazing baked chicken drumsticks. She would marinate them for 3 days, double bake them, and serve them with a side of disposable gloves. My friends called them Mama Wang's Chicken™ and joked that my mom should open up a shop that just sold chicken drumsticks. Seriously, they were that [...]
Four years ago, I posted my French Macarons recipe. Today, I wanted to do an update on new techniques and tricks that I've accrued over the past four years of maracon making. The one thing I didn't change? The salted Nutella buttercream filling. To this day, it's still my favorite buttercream. It's fluffy, airy, and the [...]
