Celebrating Each Day with Good Food
I have always been a big fan of salty sweet desserts, from salted caramel to grapes and cheese and even to these miso chocolate chip cookies. Salt brings out the flavors of sweet desserts yielding a fuller, more well rounded flavor. If there’s anything that a good toffee can benefit from, it’s a generous sprinkle […]
These Small Batch Strawberry Burst Pop Tarts have been on my mind for some time now and I’m so happy to see it come together today! My thought process when developing new recipes is very similar to a crazy rollercoaster. It first starts with an idea, let’s call him Lil’ Joe. Usually, Lil’ Joe comes […]
Guys! I’m just gonna cut to the chase here and let you know that these are one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten. EVER! I’ve eaten a bunch of cookies in my lifetime, from classic chocolate chip to spiced confections, even the really weird sounding ones like adobo chocolate chip cookies (I know! Strange! […]
Doesn’t that sound amazing! Nutella and banana are some of my favorite flavors to combine. My search for the best banana bread has fallen into staggeringly silly territory. Involving me staying up late at night contemplating on optimum banana ripeness or whether I should top my bread with crumble. If there’s anything I’ve learned from […]
There’s something very charming about madeleines. Maybe it’s their petite size or the ever recognizable seashell shape. Many beginner bakers find them to be quite daunting when in fact, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Madeleines are one of the easiest génoises you can make. Basically, the pan does all the work for you […]
It’s finally the weekend so we can all sit back and take a deep breath. As a person who always goes full steam ahead, I appreciate these little breaks. Oftentimes we feel this impulse to keep working before we realize that we are way past our limit. Rest is necessary too, friends. Today, I’m cozying […]
You might be wondering, “this sounds extra fancy, Cara”. Really? Greens tossed in champagne? But hear me out. First and foremost, there was extra champagne lying about in the fridge from New Years (bubbles ultimately spent by now) and greatly wanted to be used up. Second, that the subtle citrus and fruity flavor from champagne […]
Hey there! How was your week? The weather has been pretty cool lately and I’ve been really enjoying it. Any excuse to wear a sweater just makes me happy. My family received a crazy amount of asian pears recently and I’ve been trying to sneak it in wherever I can. Hence, this AWEMAZING salty maple […]
Happy new year friends! How were your holidays? I hope they were filled with food, laughter and some very well needed personal down time. I’ve recently emerged from family film binging, everything from Soul to Bridgerton (I’m still in a Jane Austen era hangover). I always enjoy watching period dramas as they can transport you […]
There is something very soothing about holding a steaming hot mug in your hands as you sip away into absent minded bliss. Sometimes I like having warm drinks first thing in the morning. Allowing its warmth to seep into my body as I slowly wake up. Other times I have it in the afternoon as […]
