In general, I’m much better at making savory foods than I am sweets. But I occasionally get a wild hair and decide to try my luck at making sweets.
Cakes aren’t really my thing. Last year, I tried to bake a birthday cake and all went well until I started frosting it and started completely falling apart. Needless to say, it was a major fail and I ended up buying a cake and sticking a candle in it. But this Almond cake is fool-proof. (more…)
My mom makes an amazing fruit salad, and that’s because of her secret ingredients (namely the sauce). I’ve only made her fruit salad on two occasions. It’s not complicated but it packs in a lot more calories than you’d suspect. So don’t be fooled by the word “fruit.” Although I’ve measured out the amount of condensed milk and orange juice, you may have to adjust to your taste. I will warn you, however that you don’t need to add more than 1/2 tsp of orange blossom water. Too much will be flavor overload on your senses. (more…)
Who doesn’t love s’mores? Chocolate and a toasted marshmallow squished between graham crackers… it reminds me of summer and barbeques. Just the smell of toasted marshmallows brings back memories of summer. (more…)
I’ve been so out of the cooking loop that last weekend I went on a baking spree. Yes, Baking spree. I spent my Sunday making goodies. Honestly, I’m not even sure who’d eat them since I’m doing my best to avoid sweets. A friend of mine gave me a basic cake recipe and I decided to do a little experimenting by adding in a different flavor. Let’s just say, they were requested as an after dinner dessert. Win. (more…)
To be a cook, is not about making everything from scratch, it’s about being smart with your ingredients. Some may call it cheating, faking, you name it. But really, isn’t it about mixing together the right ingredients to create a masterpiece? Plus, if we weren’t meant to use pre-packaged food, why would they sell them in the grocery stores and make them so easily accessible and cheap? Why would I spend more time making something that could essentially take me ¼ of the time if I used pre-packaged kits. Well, if you’re the decision maker in your kitchen it’s your prerogative. But don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. I bring you Lazy Pumpkin Brownies. (more…)
If you’re in search of a low-fat, low-calorie donut hole recipe, this is not it. But if you’re anything like me, and spend all week trying to fit in workouts and counting your calories on a convenient little iPhone app, then you’re allowed a little indulgence on the weekend. It’s okay, I won’t tell anyone. Just be sure to have a salad for lunch.
