Tang Yuan Dreams

A childhood memory of mine is sitting in the family room with a bowl of 2 – 3 glutinous rice balls, sometimes with a peanut filling, sometimes with black sesame, prepared by mom. As a child, my reference for it was that it was a dessert we ate that had something to do with the…

3-Ingredient Dog Cheddar Biscuits

This is my favorite dog treat recipe because it’s SO easy. I made these for Ollie’s birthday last year and just decided to bake a batch because we found and removed a tick on the little guy this morning. It’s the first time he’s ever had one and we heard from one of our neighbors…

30 Minute Baked Tofu

Does anyone else agree that it’s so much easier to eat healthy when you’re not up to your eyeballs in work and errands? This past week has finally let up for me in terms of being completely overwhelmed with both work and life. As a result, I’ve been able to look at recipes again and…

How to Make Miso Soup that Doesn’t Separate

I’ve recently had a newly developed love for miso. I think it’s thanks to becoming a subscriber to NYT Cooking. They have a lot of great recipes that use miso. It all started with these peanut butter miso cookies that caught my eye. Apparently they were a happy accident when someone ran out of peanut…

Our Great British Bake Off Draft 2020

Last year there were several key activities that helped to maintain my sanity. Like group watching Itaewon Class, my weekly tarot session with 2 other girl friends, and the draft I organized for the most recent season of the Great British Bake Off. Since all of us were newbs to participating in a draft, we…

Easy Enchiladas

I’m writing this post mainly because I want a quick way to reference this Chicken Enchilada recipe that one of my close friends shared with me. Enchiladas are the best dish to make if you happen to have about half a rotisserie chicken left and a bunch of raw tortillas from Costco (they’re the best!)…

Whipped Hot Chocolate

It wouldn’t be the year of Dalgona Coffee without applying the same technique to hot chocolate for the holidays, right? Fortunately, the hot chocolate version has less room for error and I got it right the first time. Or maybe it’s all the practice I got with Dalgona, and to remain calm if it doesn’t…

Baked Dessert Persimmons

My mom has a wonderful persimmon tree that usually bears a ton of fruit from fall to winter. We always have plenty to share with friends and extended family, and that tree is close to my heart because it’s just like my mom – generous and beautiful. I’ve tried a couple different recipes with persimmons,…
