• orange creamsicle magic cake

  

  Greetings!! You may have seen “magic cakes” online. There are a ton of other names for this basic cake recipe, like “smart cake” or “impossible cake”. These are named so because the cake batter separates into different layers, due to the egg whites being whipped up separately and added to the batter right before being […]

• Banana Raspberry Bread

  

  A couple of days ago, Ben said that I never bake anything anymore that is specifically for him, and that I always giveaway stuff for other people, like my coworkers. So today I got up and decided to make something that’s all for him. This was to hopefully make up for that comment, and for all the […]

• ginger fig muffins

  

  We are experiencing more typical Seattle weather, finally! Which is nice. I mean, I like the dry and sunny summery days we’ve been having, but this is Seattle, and it is winter, dammit. Rainy days and Mondays do not always get me down. Plus, it’s baking weather! Plus, the lighting on a rainy day is perfect! […]

• Fig, Walnut, Caramelized Onions, Blue Cheese, and Honey Focaccia

  

  (This is something I made last week, but am now just getting to post. I’m actually at home with my feet up. Literally. I have this weird thing going on with my left ankle that makes it difficult for me to focus on anything, so bare with me. I will spare you the details. I […]

• Hummus Bread

  

    This is bread that you can make if you have a little leftover hummus (1 cup) and want a bread with a little more flavor, but still versatile enough to be used in many different ways. It was good enough for me without anything, although I imagine it would be dynamite as a grilled […]

  I’m so happy to have had this week off from work to be able to do recipes like this in the morning AND to be able to meet up with visiting family–My 81 year-old father, my brother, my sister and her family, who are staying at my other sister’s house, and also at my brother’s […]

• pastel inteligente (the smart cake)

  

  A few months ago, I ran across this recipe online, and found that there are actually different versions floating around the internet. All of them have similar names–tarta magica, pastel inteligente, smart cake, magic cake–but the idea is the same. The cake basically is one batter that separates into three separate and distinct layers while baking. Hence the […]

• Mixed Berry Marzipan Banana Bread

  

  Ever since I saw Sofia’s blueberry, strawberry and yogurt cake, I’ve been wanting to make something similar, but with frozen mixed berries. After all, I did have a bag of frozen mixed berries in the freezer, and yogurt in the fridge. But since we had some bananas that were borderline over-ripe, I decided to make some banana […]

• Pretzels

  

  It was a very busy and long weekend. Not that I’m complaining. The weather was awesome today, but all I wanted to do was bake and take advantage of being home on a day filled with sunlight so I could take more pictures of food during the day. Alas, that didn’t happen. On the plus […]
