Kiwi Lime Pie
recipe, baking, sweet

Did you know there’s a Friends’ episode where Ross eats Monica’s Kiwi Lime Pie not knowing there’s kiwi in it? He’s allergic and doesn’t have a good reaction. haha. However, my kiwi lime pie will definitely say, I contain kiwis! I saw these beautiful RubyRed kiwis in the market and had to make something with them! So here’s this pie. Or is it a tart? What’s the difference??

Cornbread Loaf
recipe, simple, savory, sweet, baking, favorite

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.

Shiso Lemon Tart
recipe, baking, sweet

There’s a cafe in Los Angeles called modu cafe that had a perilla lime tart that I really wanted to try but was unable to since it was seasonal! I love the korean perilla leaf but especially love the japanese shiso leaf. Though they’re the same plant, I assume, they taste very different! I was reminded of my shiso lemon ice cream that I made and so wanted to tackle making the very same combination but in tart form! The use of making candied perilla leaves is so smart since many people make candied mint leaves and perillas are a cousin of mint!

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
recipe, simple, savory, baking

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
recipe, simple

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
recipe, baking, sweet, simple

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!

Earl Grey Panna Cotta and Blueberry Jello
recipe, simple, sweet

This is my second part of making egg-less desserts since eggs have been either scarce or pricey lately. 

I always wanted to try making panna cotta but never got around to it. So, I thought this would be the perfect time to try since it does not contain any eggs and I did! It was much easier than I thought it would be and I changed it up by adding earl grey and blueberries. You should definitely give this simple yet delicious dessert a try!

No Bake Cheesecake

I always crave cheesecake. But since there’s been a lack of eggs in America lately, I’ve been looking for recipes that don’t call for eggs. So here comes this no bake cheesecake! The recipe calls for creating texture with fully whipped cream and imparting flavor with a combination of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese with touches of vanilla and lemon. I don’t know which I prefer more now, the baked or no baked. It’s so good!

Yaksik (약식)
recipe, korean, favorite, sweet

Yaksik (약식), which is also known as yakbap (약밥) is a Korean dish that is typically enjoyed during Korean holidays such as Seollal (Korean New Year’s Day) and Chuseok (Korean Harvest Festival). Yet, what I remember most from yaksik is that it is one of the foods that my grandma would regularly make. Her yaksik was so delicious and I miss it to this day. This is my attempt at making a version close to hers.

My family’s been sick with the cold lately so I wanted to make a hearty but healthy soup and so I decided on making some lentil soup! I like to pack my soup with as many vegetables as I can. I also love lentils and how they’re a great source of fiber and plant protein!

I went to a cafe in London and fell in love with scones with clotted cream and jam. I’ve never had clotted cream before that, but I instantly was amazed by how good it was and how beautifully it paired with the scones and jam! I knew that I had to have it at home, so here’s my attempt at making this British classic!

Strawberry Matcha Crinkle Cookies

I recently saw Inga Lam’s holiday cookie video and saw that she made matcha crinkle cookies coated in strawberry powdered sugar. I’m a sucker for anything strawberry matcha flavored and so I had to try making these cookies myself! They also make great gifts to hand out during Christmas or at anytime! :D
