Chocolate covered brownie ice cream sandwiches
With all the pumpkin themed desserts floating around in the states right now, I thought it best to inject some more chocolate in your lives. This takes a simple brownie recipe and elevates it by creating a lovely little bite sized ice cream sandwich, and then dipping it in chocolate. The brownie is not super … Continue reading
Challah apple stuffing
I feel like it’s not even that controversial to state that stuffing is the best part of Thanksgiving. (Some may go with pumpkin pie or sweet potatoes with marshmallows, but I am firmly in the stuffing camp. Combined with cranberry sauce and turkey…or just totally by itself.) And because we have this amazing phenomenon this … Continue reading
Roasted butternut squash kale soup
Here’s another delicious detox-y soup (seriously it really is delicious, I promise). Now that I am travelling literally every week in true consultant style, I am finding myself getting pretty tired eating out all the time, and I just welcome the opportunity to have healthy home-cooked food. My favourite thing to do when I am … Continue reading
Pumpkin fudge brownies
Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and thus I feel compelled to post more recipes involving pumpkin. As is the case with many things, pumpkin is typically even better when paired with my favourite thing in all the world, chocolate. I’ve made many recipes where pumpkin is the base and chocolate is added (like pumpkin chocolate chip … Continue reading
Nutella chocolate chip cookies
Ok I know you all prefer the cookie recipes, so let’s throw another one into the mix. The reason that I think the flagship bakery I would open would be primarily cookie-focused is I just naturally gravitate towards cookie recipes, and when you can come up with variations on the classic chocolate chip or oatmeal … Continue reading
Zucchini tian
A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to have an amazing friend from America grace me with her presence in Sydney, and we had an absolutely amazing time together. I love having visitors because I love showing off the most beautiful city in the world where I am lucky enough to live, and I … Continue reading
Pumpkin pie
It is November, and that means Thanksgiving! Last year I was in Manila at this time and didn’t get to have a Thanksgiving holiday, and obviously won’t get the four day weekend this year either, but I do think of America around this time and am hoping to cook and bake a whole lot more … Continue reading
Vietnamese food in Brisbane
I’ve been back from Brisbane for several weeks now but figured I’d do one last post on the food there seeing as I devoted so many of my meals to Brisbane restaurants these past few months. Brisbane has a very odd Chinatown (eg, neon lit Chinatown sign, very cliche/tacky Asian decor, etc) that is located … Continue reading
Flourless chocolate brownie cookies
I know I talk a lot about chocolate, but I just need it. Some days more than others, but I need at least a little every single day. I have been craving chocolate more than usual these past few days and if you are having a fairly hardcore chocolate craving you have to go with … Continue reading
Thai quinoa salad
It’s been perfect weather in Australia since July (aka the “dead of winter” here), and thus I am always in a summery mood here. It’s just gotten hotter since then, which makes me crave cooler foods and salads. Unfortunately, these don’t store or freeze like my favourite soups and stews, but nevertheless they are delicious … Continue reading
