I couldn’t decide what to make for #NYCookieSwap 2011. It’s a big deal with cookie greats like Dorie Greenspan attending! Lon saved the day and came up with an idea I loved: a way to combine three classic cookies that everyone loves. What’s better than your favorite cookie? Three of your favorite cookies in one! [...]

Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffin
Sunday, November 6, 2011
Perhaps I was subconsciously still thinking of that Pumpkin Cider Cocktail. Consciously, however, it hadn’t occurred to me until completing this pumpkin muffin recipe, tasting the muffins a few times, and even editing the photos, that there are notable similarities, yet important differences. One is a cocktail, perfect for an evening affair. The other, a [...]
Connecticut Cheesecake

People are always amazed at how much Jessica and I have in common. From being born in the same hospital to sharing the same ice skating instructors (years apart), some coincidences are uncanny; another is our mothers’ birthdays. Caya’s Wai Po and Grandma are the same age, born a day apart. We have celebrated together [...]
Black & White Kisses
Saturday, December 11, 2010
I’m not usually a fan of meringue and meringue cookies. The main components being egg whites and sugar, I often find them too sweet. With these cookies, I’m going to call Black & White Kisses because it sounds so sophisticated. The use of 70% dark chocolate really balances out the sweetness. What I once thought [...]
Easy Fresh Peanut Butter Frosting in your Food Processor
Friday, November 19, 2010
We finally moved back in to our apartment and the kitchen is almost done. I’d say 94% finished and we’re hoping to share pictures soon. It dawned on me yesterday that I haven’t cooked, really cooked, since March, when we moved out of our old apartment. First, we didn’t have a kitchen. Then, I had [...]
Green Bean Soup (for the Slow Cooker)
Thursday, June 10, 2010
Finally! We moved, but it’s not all smooth sailing yet. We’re living out of boxes and we don’t have a kitchen yet. While our perfect kitchen is being built (which we will be talking about soon), I’m going to have to get crafty. I do have many plug-in appliances (rice cooker, toaster oven, panini press, [...]

Almond Meringues with Dulce de Leche
Sunday, February 28, 2010
Since I posted that incredibly easy method for making Dulce de Leche, I’m sure you’ve been wondering what I was going to do with it. Yeah, me too. Ideas have been tumbling around, but each one gets pushed to the back of my mind. I’ve been distracted with all the details of moving. Normally, I [...]
Dulce de Leche Made in the Can
Thursday, February 25, 2010
Sure Dulce de Leche sounds fancy, but it’s just like caramel but more milky. MMM, creamy caramelized sugar…GOOOOD. The best part is, it’s insanely easy to make. Insanely! How can I stress this enough? So easy my dog could do it (if she had thumbs). So easy my dad could do it. (My dad has [...]
Caramel Macchiato Cupcakes

It was time to make something special for Winnie’s birthday. Besides that, I kind of owe her. She was one of my first friends in college, possibly the second person I met. We were sitting next to each other in an economics class (theater style seating) when I just fell asleep on her. I had [...]
