cinnamon cardamom rolls
This is it! Election Day! I made these yesterday, but still have three out of the four rolls to enjoy! I’m feeling pretty good, but ask me how I feel at 11pm when they still haven’t announced who won the election. I’m cautiously optimistic, though, and will try to hold on to that feeling for…

sweet guava poppy seed buns
The other day I made a loaf of guava bread. It was good, but today I decided to do another version of the recipe as sweet buns. I almost decided at the last minute to turn them into bagels but wasn’t sure how they’d turn out. There’s always next time, I suppose. It seems there…

chicken adobo
Chicken Adobo. It’s arguably the National Dish of the Philippines. While there is agreement of what the main ingredients are–chicken, vinegar, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, bay leaves–there are a ton of different recipes and variations to choose from. How do you make your chicken adobo? I decided to make mine by initially browning it…

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?…

coffee & cream cupcakes
I initially set out to make a loaf cake but somehow it morphed into these cupcakes! Funny how that happens, huh? Ha! Anyway, it’s been a while since I made a batch of cupcakes, and so I decided to go all out with them and stuff them in the middle with coffee whipped cream, which…

honey goat cheese cajeta cookies
This is a fairly straightforward cookie recipe. It contains nine ingredients, and three of those are made from goat’s milk: goat cheese, goat milk powder, and cajeta, which is a thick caramel sauce made from sweetened evaporated goat’s milk. I cannot stress enough how good the full fat goat milk powder makes these cookies! There…

chocolate mocha pecan bread
Happy New Year! It’s great to be back! Something called Christmas got in the way! Seriously, though, I always tend to draw a blank when thinking about what to post towards the end or beginning of the year, not sure why. I tend to get very introspective or reflective of the year gone by. And…

Benedictine Pear Loaf Cake
If ever there was a recurrent theme for me here, it would be a quick bread made in a loaf pan. That’s just how I roll, I guess. Maybe I should change the name to Dave’s Quick Bread Recipes? Hmmm. This came about actually while initially searching online for an apple cake recipe, and finding…

black sesame cookies
Happy Autumn! I was hoping to be making something a little more autumnal, like something with apples, pears, and/or pumpkin spice, but I sort of ran out of steam, and out of fresh ideas. Plus I made a drier more crumbly version of these last week, which I didn’t like, so I felt I needed…
