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
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
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
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
Browned butter sugar cookies
So it’s been too long, and I have an amazing amount of food exploration stories to share, from markets in Manila and Singapore to enjoying Spanish tapas in Manila and authentic French food in Cebu…but alas, the pace of life right now is such that I barely have 5 minutes a day to myself, much … Continue reading
Flourless chocolate cookies
My to-do list before leaving for Manila went something like this: pack, do errands, create new workout playlists, bake, etc. Baking had to be on it as I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to do it again for a while. Additionally, I’d promised a friend at work that I’d bake for her half birthday … Continue reading
Oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies
So, my big news. Only a little over a week ago, I got asked to participate in a dream work opportunity based out of Manila. Within a matter of days, I’d packed up my life, gotten a visa, and now I am here for 2.5 months. That is the amazing thing about consulting – things … Continue reading
Cookies and cream cookies
It’s been almost three whole weeks since I’ve baked, which is about as long as I physically am capable of going (and it’s only because I was on vacation – were I in one place, that would never happen). An old friend from Boston was passing through Sydney on vacation with his girlfriend, so I … Continue reading
Basic (yet utterly delicious) brownies
I strongly believe that every person (male or female) should have a go-to brownie recipe. This is a good way to make friends and subtly seduce potential lovers, because if the object of your attention doesn’t like chocolate, you should not be friends (and certainly not anything more than friends!) with them in the first … Continue reading
