  • mexican cheese bread

    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

    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…

    guava poppy seed donuts

    After mentally going through three different baked donut recipes in my head, I finally decided to commit to this one, which is based on an apple cider donut recipe from Chef John of Food Wishes!

There are a wide variety of other fillings that you can use instead, such as jams, Nutella, Chocolate, or other spices. I just really like the combination of…

  • bibingka

    bibingka

    “Just eat it, otherwise they’ll feel bad.” That’s what a nun told me when I was offered some bibingka. I was about 8 years old. And that phrase stuck with me all these years whenever I see or think of bibingka. Even though I no longer have an aversion to it. I was an altar…

  • 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…

    candy cap mushroom blondies

    Happy Friday! If you’ve never heard of candy cap mushrooms, they are a mushroom found in the wild along the US West coast and in Maine and are unique in that they give off a scent and flavor similar to maple syrup, and thus are used in both sweet and savory recipes. I bought them…
