banana cream pie
This came about simply because I wanted to try out a Nilla Wafer crust and also had a couple of bananas to spare that weren’t overripe. You want to use bananas that are just ripe, the kind you would normally eat as is, and not the kind of overripe bananas you would use for banana…

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…

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…

apple pull apart rolls
Greetings! As soon as I saw these pull-apart rolls on the King Arthur website, I wanted to make them. For the boiled cider used in their recipe, I instead substituted 4 cups of apple juice that I reduced to 1/2 cup. I couldn’t find apple cider anywhere in the grocery stores around me, for some…

mochi carrot cake
For me it’s all about the rice flour substitute. If it was just regular flour, this would be a rather plain carrot cake. I usually like my carrot cake to be very moist, with pineapple chunks, walnuts, maybe even a little rum, and coconut flakes. I’m really glad I added the spices. I wasn’t going…

guava meringue pie
Greetings! I can’t believe half the year is already over! I’ve been enjoying my days off experimenting in the kitchen immensely. It’s a luxury that I hope I never take for granted. Even though we don’t have a large kitchen at all, I’ve been putting my laptop and work stool on the narrow space between…

blueberry streusel bagels
While making the components for these, I really wasn’t sure how they’d turn out, or even if they’d turn out. But in the end, it all came together, and it was all worth it. I have to warn you though. You need to make a concentrated blueberry paste by slowly cooking 2 cups worth of…

strawberry flax muffins
Greetings! I usually consider muffins to be more like a breakfast item rather than a dessert, but these muffins…these muffins can certainly pass as dessert, even with the healthier ingredients! In fact, I think I could’ve made them even healthier with whole wheat and less sugar. I do think the quality of the strawberries you…
