Rice Krispies Treats
A treat that I’m a huge fan of is the simple but delicious rice krispies treat! It takes minimal ingredients and when done well is so good. And it’s not even hard to make it well! :D Here’s how I make my rice krispies treats and I also included two flavored versions that I love to make!
Granola
I love when granola contains crunchy clusters and so I’ve been searching for a way to guarantee them whenever I make it. That’s when I found this recipe by Serious Eats which has you soak the oats in buttermilk beforehand. Ever since making this granola, my parents requested that I always have a batch made. It’s that good! :D
Persimmon Jam
I love persimmons. They’re a classic fall and early winter fruit and since it’s already the end of December, that means they’re going away soon! So, this year, I decided to make some jam out of this delicious fruit with various ways of enjoying the end result! :D
Bolognese Sauce
I was craving some spaghetti bolognese and so I decided to make some! Here’s how I make this delicious time consuming sauce! :)
Hiyashi Chuka
As a kid, one of my most favorite dishes to eat during the summer was (and still is!) hiyashi chuka. This is a Japanese cold ramen dish with Chinese influence; it also directly translates as “chilled Chinese!” It features cold ramen noodles covered with an array of different toppings such as cucumber, egg, ham, and tomato. It’s then drizzled with either a soy sauce-based dressing or a sesame dressing, which I prefer more. This dish is so refreshing and I would definitely recommend you to try it!
Cornbread Loaf
I love corn. And so I also love corn bread! But I find that it could turn out quite dry at times. So I wanted to make one similar to the NYT Cooking’s Meskouta recipe that I love. So I turned the cornbread into a cornbread loaf! It’s has the great aroma of corn while still being so tender and moist! It’s also so easy to put together, so long as you have a blender on hand.
Fruit Sando
I love japanese egg sandos. They’re super popular and often bought in 7-11s in Japan along with their sweeter cousin: the fruit sando! I realize that fruit sandos are basically cake. The milk bread acts as the cake layer surrounding lightly sweetened whipped cream and fruit. How can you go wrong with these? They look pretty yet they’re so easy and simple to make!
Onion Galette
I remember seeing this onion galette way back in 2020 on Bon Appetit’s website and immediately making it. It was so good. One of my favorite and easiest things to make are galettes. And I love having this savory version in my repertoire. It’s a bit more work that regular simple galettes but I find that it is so worth it!
Homemade Yogurt
Things have been getting pretty pricey lately and so I wanted to somehow cut some costs on certain foods my family and I regularly consume. One of which is yogurt! Who knew that it would be so easy to make your own batch of yogurt. All it takes is a few tablespoons of your old yogurt and milk. An added benefit is that you can also make it as tangy as you like.
Chocolate Vinegar Cake
I made chocolate vinegar cake, which may sound weird but is actually super interesting! It’s a Great Depression era recipe that uses pantry items to make a fluffy and airy chocolate cake. I don’t consider it one of the best cakes I’ve made, but it definitely is one of the easiest and simplest!
