• blueberry crunch bars

  

  These came about because we saw dehydrated blueberries for sale at Costco. And we thought, why not. Then it ended up sitting in our cupboard for a few months. I had made cookies with dried blueberries and Rice Krispies cereal, and so I thought, why not make them into bars this time? This time around, […]

• guava lemon bars

  

  Happy Valentine’s Day! This wasn’t a planned thing, but since I’ve often made stuff with guava for the month of February, and I just happened to have some leftover guava paste in the fridge, this was bound to happen. And I simply used a common recipe online for lemon bars with shortbread crust to make […]

• cranberry shortbread bars

  

  As I went to the grocery store to buy fresh cranberries for this recipe, it dawned on me that this was the first time ever to use fresh cranberries in anything! I’ve purchased the premade cranberry sauce for numerous Thanksgivings. I drank a lot of cranberry juice, but never have I used the fresh kind! So […]

• cherry wink cake bars

  

  Cherry winks are popular holiday cookies originating in the US in the 1950s. This cookie usually calls for a maraschino cherry in the center of each cookie with Kellogg’s Corn Flakes® cereal coated around the sides of the cookie and baked. I instead chose to use sour cherries and fine cornmeal in a cake, still topping it with […]

• cassava cake with macapuno

  

  I know what you are thinking. “Um…this is not a cake.”  I kinda agree. These are more like bars to me. But not anytime while I was growing up did I hear anyone call them bars. It’s always been called cassava cake. I was tempted to call them “cassava bars” here. But I feel I need to […]

• brown butter cornflake crunch crispy treats

  

  This was a test. This was only a test. If this had been an actual recipe worth saving, or more importantly, actually making in your kitchen, you’d be reading sentences singing its praises by now. Basically, this was an experiment exploring what happens to one recipe from Smitten Kitchen when you throw in an element from Momofuku’s […]

• 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 […]
