• pumpkin cinnamon rolls

  

  I was looking at a recipe for pumpkin buns. They looked more like fancy dinner rolls, but somehow I lost the website and couldn’t find it. So I decided to make cinnamon rolls out of the dough instead, only they may not be as sweet. But that’s okay. With just a 1/2 cup of pumpkin, […]

• Now bring us some non-figgy pudding-like chocolate cupcakes, now bring us some non-figgy pudding-like chocolate cupcakes…

  Is it wrong to make something look one way, but taste another way? I came across this recipe while searching online for figgy pudding. I don’t know exactly what figgy pudding is supposed to look like, but doesn’t this look like it could be a steamed pudding with figs in it? I thought so. I […]

• graham cracker star cookies

  

  “I’m not perfect, but I’m perfect for you.” ~Grace Jones In making holiday cookies, I didn’t bother to add more flour under the dough as I rolled it out on the counter. This caused them to stick and as I used a spatula to scrape them off the counter to the baking sheet, I noticed that […]

• What I had for Thanksgiving

  Usually we have turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, and gravy. For some reason, we wanted to break with tradition! This year, being that my sister couldn’t host this year, we decided to just have a small get together with my brother at our place, and to cook whatever we wanted.  That ended up being sort of […]

• Goat Cheese Cheesecake with Cherry Black Pepper Compote and Homemade Graham Cracker Crust

  

  I’ve been wanting to make Anne Burrell’s Goat Cheese Cheesecake for the longest time, but didn’t want to make the traditional shape using a springform pan and cutting it into wedges. Plus, I had this pan that had been stored away, years ago, after only one use. So, today I made six individual half-spheres of goat […]

• Calamansi Bars

  

  I made these a few weeks ago while in Guam. This is a popular fruit tree that grows in Guam and the Philippines, as well as other places in tropical regions. Calamansi is like a sweet lime. In Mexico, it’s called limon dulce. I decided to go simple and make calamansi bars. Very important–the last […]

• Banana Banana Bread

  All Recipes has a banana bread that is very popular that I hadn’t tried yet, called banana banana bread, because you use twice the number of bananas. It makes sense to me, although I think if you are going to call something banana bread, it should already have more than just a couple of old, overripe bananas […]

• Baking and Grieving

  I was hesitant to bake while at my parent’s home in Guam, waiting for our mother’s funeral services, which is tomorrow. Numerous people have told me to take time and to grieve. To take time to process things. To be good to myself. I do appreciate those people who’ve offered those different words of wisdom. […]

• Pan De Sal

  I’m still with family, not in my kitchen, so there are limits to what I can do. It may be a couple more weeks before I can get back to my kitchen. But…I just wanted to update that I finally made a couple of batches of Pan de Sal. I used this recipe. Pan de […]
