  • pig biscotti (pigscotti)

    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,…

  • guava bundt cake

    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…

    Happy New Year! It’s okay to still be saying that, right? It’s like saying “good morning” at 11:45 AM! I feel like posting one’s first blog post of the year in late January is sort of like the equivalent of being the last person in your neighborhood to take down your Christmas decorations! Oh well,…

  • cardamom coffee cookies

    cardamom coffee cookies

    Greetings! Here we are with only a few weeks left of 2021. This is usually a period of time when I sort of draw a blank when it comes to food blogging. I think it stems from not wanting to feel the pressure to have to post something festive or seasonal. The one exception though…

  • chocolate yogurt cake

    chocolate yogurt cake

    I may have finally cracked the code! I may have gotten the right balance and proportion of ingredients for chocolate cake in a loaf pan! Finally! I think not adding too much cocoa is key, as well as not adding too much liquid. Too much cocoa may be drying, and too much liquid may end…

  • mississippi mud pie

    mississippi mud pie

    This is not a difficult recipe, it’s just a little time consuming, because you do need to give each layer adequate time to set and get firmer before adding the next layer. If you did not wait to let it set, you may get messy results. After looking at a bunch of different recipes online,…
