Cranberry Walnut Scones
The Rail Park
Ian and I have been living in Philadelphia for almost 2 years now. I am still amazed at the amazing new finds I'm discovering in the city - restaurants, architecture, parks, etc. A few weeks ago, my mom came for her annual visit, and she suggested that we visit The Rail Park after reading about [...]
Hua Juan (Flower Buns)
You guys, I've been wanting to make this for soooooo long. So I've been going back and forth on whether or not I should get a bamboo steamer. There are so many Chinese goodies I want to make, but they all require using a steamer. Something in me always cheapened out and I never [...]
Castella (Honey Cake)
If macarons are the finicky, pain-in-the-butt to make cookies, then castellas are the macaron-equivalent of a cake. At first glance, castellas don't look super difficult. It's a loaf cake. What can be so hard about it? Well, the hardest part is keeping the shape once it's out of the oven. A lot of times, [...]

S’mores Ice Cream
Burrata, Prosciutto & Arugula Flatbread
My first copycat recipe! A few months ago, while I was perusing Trader Joe's (aka my "fun" store), I saw this Burrata, Prosciutto & Arugula Flatbread in the frozen section by all the pizzas. Naturally, I was interested. Burrata, good. Prosciutto, good. Arugula, good! I grabbed one and popped it in the oven that [...]
Easy Homemade Marshmallows
Summer's here, which means it's time to make smores. I'm that weird kid who never liked marshmallows. There's something about them that was always so off-putting to me. If you melt them and made rice krispies, sure I'll gobble them up. But as is, no thank you. Then I was introduced to homemade marshmallows. Mind. [...]
Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie
Chocolate Pots de Crème
In college, one of my go-to quick desserts were mini pudding cups. I'd cut up a rolled-out pie crust and place them in a muffin tin and blind bake them. Meanwhile, I'd make chocolate pudding (from the box) and stuff the cups. It was super easy and looked quite impressive. I have nothing against chocolate [...]
