• (buns for) fish sandwich sliders

  

  This is not a copycat recipe for the Filet-O-Fish, nor is it even a complete recipe for a homemade version of the famous fish sandwich, since I didn’t specify too much detail on how I bread and fry the fish fillets, nor did I offer a specific ingredient list for homemade tartar sauce that approximates […]

• mexican cheese bread

  

  Before I get into this, I have to tell you upfront that this isn’t an authentic Mexican recipe at all. What qualifies it to be called Mexican Cheese Bread is simply that you use some ingredients from Mexico. If you can’t find them, use the substitutes specified below, it will still be good. I have […]

• birthday biscotti

  

  This is a recipe for biscotti that is adaptable for other add ins. I simply wanted to celebrate my **th birthday, so I thought adding 1/4 cup of sprinkles would do the trick. I also added slightly less sugar because I felt the sprinkles might actually contribute to the sweetness. Funfetti Biscotti. Enjoy! Happy Birthday […]

• pig biscotti (pigscotti)

  

  Greetings! Happy Almost Spring! I love this time of year, mainly because the weather is really mild here in the Pacific Northwest; the heat is not here yet, but the days are not too short, either. I had just a handful of hazelnuts left (I seem to always have just a handful of them left, […]

It worked out great! ricotta dinner rolls  ingredients  2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 and […]

• guava bundt cake

  

  This is a pretty straightforward recipe. Also, if you don’t like the guava seeds and are lucky enough to find guava shells, which are seedless, use that product instead. I kinda like the seeds, so I left one or two small guavas intact before processing them so that there’d be a small amount of seeds […]

• chocolate hazelnut nutella muffins 

  

  I decided to keep things simple, as a muffin recipe should be. So that’s the rationale for keeping this blog post short too. You know what to do when mixing a muffin recipe. You mix the wet and the dry separately, then combine them. Easy-peasy, right? 🙂 Plus, even when I messed up prior workings […]
