• 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 […]

• croque madame bread pudding

  

  Greetings! This is a bread pudding version of a French dish that is basically a ham and cheese sandwich served hot with extra cheese, a Bechamel sauce, and a sunny side egg on top. I wanted to make a bread pudding recipe that looked more orderly and layered the bread with the other ingredients, rather […]

• garlic rolls

  

  Greetings! I know garlic confit sounds a little fancy, but it’s basically slow cooking a bunch of peeled garlic cloves in oil in a 200 degree F. oven to bring out their sweetness as well as make them soft and spreadable. This takes about 2 hours in the oven, though, so if you’d rather not, […]

• la tartiflette

  

  From the moment I saw this potato dish, I knew I’d make it for myself and end up posting it for November since it screams Thanksgiving, doesn’t it? Aside from Thanksgiving, it would also make a great brunch item. It’s a potato au gratin type of recipe originating from the French Alps using a special […]

• red onion walnut bialys

  

  I struggled with a name for these. While it is true that red onions and walnuts are two main ingredients in the filling, I feel like the three other main ingredients should also be highlighted. But Red Onion Walnut Anchovies Aleppo Red Pepper Flakes and Golden Raisin Bialys sounds way too long, am I right? […]

• ampalaya chorizo quail egg tart

  

  Ampalaya, or bitter melon, is very popular in the Philippines, India, and other Asian countries. Although I didn’t have any on my recent trip to the PI, I did think about this vegetable while I was there. Which made me think of my mom. My mother used to prepare it very simply, usually just sautéed with […]

• butternut squash galette

  

  One Word: Flakey! By the way, is it “flakey” or “flaky”? I’m going with flakey. If you like a flakey crust recipe, and you don’t mind the “rusticity” of a galette, then this recipe from Epicurious is for you! Autumn roasting of fruit continues! That’s right, butternut squash is technically a fruit. Crazy, huh? And yes, […]

• mashed potato pie with chorizo cauliflower

  

  On a personal note, Ben and I are going through a lot. First, we finally have a visa appointment for him to finally become a US permanent resident. We have been waiting a long time for this, but never had a process until three years ago when we got married. I’ll have to leave this […]

• mushroom cheese rolls

  

  Here I go procrastinating again! Baked these on Sunday, then somehow the day just came and went after that and never got around to updating the bloggity blog. And it’s not like we did a whole bunch of stuff either! So I’m updating this at work. (shhh.) Wait. It’s my lunch break, it’s okay. These […]
