Spinach & Feta Puffs

Spinach & Feta Puffs

Happy Monday!  I'm coming at you with another puff pastry recipe.  I made these spinach & feta puffs two weekends ago and I've been craving them since!  They are super duper easy, take very little time to make, and look (and taste) divine.

Candied Walnuts

Candied Walnuts

The funny thing about candied walnuts is that I always make them thinking "I can add this to all my salads for the next week", only to eat them by the handfuls and they never ever touch a single salad.  They are that addictive. Candied walnuts are quick and easy to make, sort of foolproof, [...]

One Bowl Blueberry Muffins

One Bowl Blueberry Muffins

  So back in July, I vowed to rarely turn on the oven as to not overheat my house.  Now that we're in mid-December, I crank up my oven every chance I get so not only do I get a delicious treat, my house feels warm (and smells amazing).  So whenever I open the fridge [...]

Burrata, Prosciutto & Arugula Flatbread

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 [...]

Chocolate Pots de Crème

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 [...]

Matcha Milkshake

Matcha Milkshake

  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, [...]

Waffle Cookies

Waffle Cookies

  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 [...]

Miso Salmon

Miso Salmon

I love miso so darn much.  If anything is miso-flavored, count me in.  Although salmon is already so flavorful as-is, add in miso, it climbs to one of my favorite dishes. My mom made miso salmon a lot when I was growing up.  She would use a miso paste and dilute it with hot water [...]

Crispy Waffles

Crispy Waffles

Has this ever happened to you?  You get up in the morning and you are pumped to make a batch of waffles.  But by the time you've finished making them, they're all soggy and soft.  BOO!  I recently had a Bob Ross moment where I discovered a "happy accident" when I was making waffles but [...]

Taiwanese Breakfast Crepes

Taiwanese Breakfast Crepes

Who else likes breakfast for dinner?  Growing up in Taiwan, a lot of times, we would go out for breakfast on weekends and busy mornings.  Taiwanese breakfast joints are not like the swanky brunch places where you'd have a glass of mimosa.  On the contrary, they are often hole-in-the-wall places where you run in, devour [...]
