• guava poppy seed quick bread with cream cheese icing

  

  This is a quick, tall, not too dense quick bread that is moist and has good flavors! What more could you ask for? Have you ever wondered whether you can substitute cream cheese for the butter in a cake or quick bread? It turns out you can, but you may want to add a little […]

• honey mochi muffins (guava, green tea, and tamarind)

  

  For May, I wanted something that is lighter and suited for springtime with pastel colors and things that don’t have to be heated for long periods of time at extremely high temperatures. So these are baked at 325 degrees F. for about 30 minutes, which isn’t too much heat. It’s just enough, however, to make […]

• guava poppy seed heart cake

  

  Happy February! Ben and I are just hanging out watching Superbowl LII (I had to look that up; Ben’s the real football fan. I mainly watch it for the commercials!) and baking and cooking.  I’m the baker, Ben’s the cook. Ben is making dinner plus some make-ahead food for the week, and he’s boiling something, I […]

• guava poppy seed muffins

  

  Searching online for the combination of guava and poppy seeds in recipes, I really didn’t find much, so thought that I’d make my own. Guava poppy seed muffins, anyone? They’re vegan, too! This idea has been mulling around in my head for months, but I just kept hesitating to put down the $3 for a […]

• Has it really been four years!?

  

  Because it’s been a little over four years since starting this blog, I wanted to share with you my favorite posts. I should clarify that these are my favorites, not necessarily favorites in terms of post clicks, numbers, or even in being popular among people in my life. Because that’s what it’s all about! It’s all […]

• guava manchego mini galettes

  

  For a long time, I hated Valentine’s day. Now I’m okay with it. I just don’t go overboard with it. I guess I don’t like the feeling of being forced to celebrate something and all the advertising around it, especially here in the USA. Most of our holidays are low on meaning and high in […]

• guava cheese canelés

  

  My new silicone canelé molds are no longer new. I bought them online, and they’ve been waiting to be used for two years now. Is it sacrilege to make canelés in other flavors besides vanilla custard? I looked around online and do see a few other flavors, (and even things that were only canelé in shape–the […]

• guava cupcakes

  

  Yes, I know. They sort of look like muffins topped with pepperoni. This is still a work in progress. It’s guava paste. Maybe cutting them into cubes would’ve been better. I realized after making these that I am developing sort of a love/hate relationship with guavas. Maybe more with guava products. At least as far […]

• guava cream cheese scones

  

  Ah. Guava. I wish I could grow a guava tree here. Oh well… Today I made guava cream cheese scones, because I still had this half-pound block of guava paste that I transported from the old kitchen, and the expiration date was close. I don’t even remember what we made with the first half-pound of […]
