Cinnamon swirl banana bread
Rotten bananas are an item that most people consider utterly disgusting and throw away immediately. But not me – oh no, I see the massive amount of potential in over-ripe, browning bananas, mainly that of banana bread. I am that girl who takes rotting bananas from people to store in the freezer until I gather … Continue reading
Nutella chocolate chip cookies with a twist
So when I made the nutella sea salt cookies the other week, I obviously bought way too much nutella so then had to make another recipe involving this succulent ingredient. What a shame. I do not even know which one of these cookies I liked better because I enjoyed them both so much. This one … Continue reading
No bake cheesecake
As I said early on in this blog’s tenure, I enjoy baking for birthdays because it pushes me outside of my typical “I like to bake things involving chocolate” comfort zone. One of my lovely friends in Sydney whose birthday I sadly missed requested a very specific type of cheesecake: a traditional Continental one but … Continue reading
Chocolate chip muffins
Muffins. They are really just cupcakes that are cleverly disguising themselves as breakfast food. Who wouldn’t want what is essentially a chocolate chip cookie in breakfast form? I had yet another birthday to bake for and saw this recipe a while ago, so figured I’d try my hand at a good old traditional chocolate chip … Continue reading
Chocolate chip cookie dough truffles
Sorry for what feels like a fairly long silence…in the past week I’ve traveled to Seoul and been really busy at work so haven’t had a chance to keep posting blogs, but I shall attempt to be better in the next week. I have quite the backlog of recipes that I made from my ecstatic … Continue reading
Nutella sea salt cookies
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! For the first time in my life, I sadly am not able to cook or bake on a Thanksgiving as I have to be here in Manila working. I am pretty bummed out about it but at least I got a solid chunk of time to cook and bake a week ago, … Continue reading
Unabashed gluttony in Taipei
A couple weekends ago, I got the opportunity to do a solo trip to Taipei, which meant that I spent the entire weekend eating. Happily this is extremely acceptable in Taipei, as the entire city revolves around food. It was without a doubt one of the most fun food adventure cities I’ve ever been to. … Continue reading
The glorious buffet at the Diamond
A post definitely needs to be devoted to the food at my current home, the Diamond Hotel in Manila. The main restaurant here consists of a buffet of international foods that varies day to day and has a ridiculous variety of things that are both good for you and very very bad for you. (hence … Continue reading
Pumpkin chocolate chip bars
Canned pumpkin. It is one of the most delightful add-ins to any baking recipe ever, and they do not have it in Australia. (Um, how am I am going to make pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving? I will literally have to make my own mashed pumpkin. Craziness.) So of course on my recent trip to the … Continue reading
Basic (or not) chocolate chip cookies
I was looking back through my blog entries and realized I still have yet to date to share a classic chocolate chip cookie one. This is basically a travesty as everyone needs to know how to make a good batch of chocolate chip cookies in times of joy/celebration and sadness/anger/bitterness. (not like I know anything … Continue reading
