- Candy Shop CupcakesJune 14, 2013
It’s Friday. . so I wanted to share cupcakes!
During our last trip to Los Angeles, my brother, Jimmy, and I took the kids and explored Manhattan Beach, our old hood. When my brother and I first moved out to Los Angeles together back in October 2001, we got a place in Manhattan Beach. Walking distance ... - Mid-Week Cheater Mini Chocolate Cream PiesJune 12, 2013
Ok, so I’ve made chocolate cream pies before. . but this time, I used NO sugar, NO cream cheese, NO heavy cream. I’m calling this a cheater recipe because it’s easier, takes less time, it’s NO BAKE! (but this does mean you have to wait at least 4-6 hrs for it to chill) and your ... - Baked Veggie Wontons!June 10, 2013
Potstickers. Dumplings. Wontons. Mandoo. Whatever you want to call them. I’ve never really had the patience or dexterity to make those beautiful, perfect looking potstickers. OK, I take that back. I do make beautiful mandoo once a year for New Year’s for my duk mandoo guk. But this is once a year friends. I love ... - Strawberry Nutella Swirl Mini BundtsJune 7, 2013
Strawberry + Orange is quickly becoming a favorite flavor combination for me. Case in point: this is pretty much the same bundt cake I made last month for Bundt-a-month. . but this month I changed a few things, added Nutella, made mini bundt cakes and tried to swirl it.
Tried.
My first attempt: I purposely tried to ... - Mid-Week Cheater Recipe: Chocolate CroissantsJune 5, 2013
Summer is here and I don’t know about you, but we plan to kick it a little and relax. I don’t want to be spending a lot of time in the kitchen everyday during the summer because school is out and the weather here in Seattle is gorgeous. . we gotta soak in the sun ... - Lattice-Top Blueberry Pie for #SundaySupperJune 2, 2013
The summer is here and that usually means there’s berries around. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. . if you don’t have them in abundance at your local grocery store now, you will soon. Of all the fruits, berries are definitely a favorite of mine. Not only do I love baking with them but I also just ... - Honey Oatmeal Chocolate Chip CookiesMay 31, 2013
It happened on a Wednesday and this was not my best day. I was doing some housework and cleaning and was in the laundry room upstairs. I don’t know what was going through my head because it happened so quickly. I was reaching for the detergent and knocked over the bleach. . which was left ... - Mushroom, Onion and Thyme GaletteMay 29, 2013
I’ve noticed that I am always looking ahead, waiting and anticipating the next step. Maybe it’s the planner in me or always wanting to be prepared. One could look at this in a positive light or one could say, I need to live more in the moment. We have some change coming in our family. ... - Avocado and Hummus Toast: 2 Ways!May 28, 2013
So, the summer is pretty much here and the school year is coming to an end. I can hardly believe it’s almost June?! Where did the time go? Summer for us means sleeping in, relaxing a bit more but also keeping busy and entertaining the kids. We’re keeping it simple this summer and have just ... - Kale Pasta Salad for a Picnic #SundaySupperMay 26, 2013
For me, a picnic is not a picnic without pasta salad. Lately, I’ve been adding kale and sunflower nuts to everything. The kale has become an inside joke here at the house between my husband and I because he hates it. OK, maybe hate is a strong word. . . but he definitely does not ... - Olive Oil and Thyme Mini Bundt CakesMay 24, 2013
Subtle elegance. That is this cake. Simply Delicious. A little crunchy on the edges and moist and perfect on the inside. When I made my first Olive Oil cake, I had some of my mommy friends over and they all loved it. One friend, Ligia, loved it so much, she asked me to teach her how ... - Marshmallow Cupcakes!May 23, 2013
It was my daughter’s 6th birthday last Friday. . and she knew exactly what she wanted.
These Marshmallow Cupcakes.
My kid is 6 and she knows exactly what she wants. With most everything. Definitely when it comes to food. She is my daughter after all. She’ll come home from school and ask me for an apple: peeled ... - Toast with Honey Mascarpone and NutellaMay 22, 2013
OK, I admit it. I love going to Costco. Yeah, you heard me right.
I know it’s absolute craziness if you go on the weekends but if you go during the week like I do, it’s not that bad. And yes, I know most of you work so you can’t go during the week . . ...
