I love making apple crisp when I'm in a hurry and I want an apple + cinnamon dessert. It's a great alternative to apple pie or apple tart. However, apples are getting expensive here! I also had some pears sitting around in the apartment for the past week, so I thought, why not make some [...]
One of my favorite things to bake is banana bread. Here is a super easy, one-bowl recipe, and you don't even need an electric mixer! I made a chocolate chip banana bread here, but feel free to add walnuts, raisins, or any other add-in of your choice! Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 60 minutes Ready [...]
Technically, this is a DIY. Technically, if you have access to a laser engraver. Over winter break, my friend Joyce got hooked on Bananagrams. You know, the game that is essentially speed scrabble. She got so addicted to Bananagrams that when she went back to school, she made homemade Bananagrams out of paper and laminated [...]
For my last post, I wanted to garnish my mango + avocado greek yogurt with cilantro, and now I'm left with one bunch of cilantro. I figured it'd take me an entire year to use up the cilantro as just garnish ... so I thought, why not make pesto? 5 minutes later, hello creamy cilantro [...]
Chobani hack time! I've been waiting for my avocados to ripen throughout the week, and I'm so happy to finally be able to do this! In a previous post I made about Chobani SoHo, another scrumptious flavor I had was Mango Avocado creation. Yes, I know, it sounds so bizarre. Greek yogurt with mangos avocados? Think of [...]
My roommate is coming back this weekend and school is starting back up next week! To celebrate the start of the semester, I decided to bake a chocolate & applesauce cake. Yes, that's right. Applesauce. This recipe was inspired by a box cake I found at the grocery store a few months back that had [...]
Well, that was delicious. I just had a Rachael Ray moment, where I completed a 30 minute meal. Seriously, the pizza took me, from start to finish, only 30 minutes. The cool part is that everything was made from scratch, so no store-bought dough! It was so easy and fast, and with its hefty serving, I [...]
My dad would probably give me a lecture if he ever sees me do this. Growing up in a Taiwanese family, I was taught to always drink lukewarm or hot liquids. Teas should always be hot. Always. However, being the little rebel that I am, I have an affinity for cold brews as well. Last [...]
I really love baking and making sweets for my friends. Although I don't have a sweet tooth myself, when I bake for other people, the sweeter the better! When I was in high school, I always made fudge around Christmastime for friends. It was easy and impressive. In high school, I always made fudge using [...]
Wintertime is the best time for hot cocoa. Although I do love instant hot cocoa packets (especially the ones with mini marshmallows), I still believe that homemade hot cocoa trumps instant packets every single time. Here is a recipe for homemade hot cocoa, even down to the whipped cream! I believe that when making homemade hot [...]
