French Coconut Pie »

I’ve mentioned so many times before how nuts I am about coconuts even more so when a recipe is this easy. Although I made my pastry crust from scratch, it’s still easier than this:

..this is the coconut cream pie that I made last week; and while it was delicious, I was  disappointed with how my [...]

Giada’s Pasta Primavera »

This is another favorite pasta primavera recipe of mine; it’s from  Giada de Laurentiis. This the most simple pasta primavera recipe I’ve come across with.    What could be easier than boiling some bow pasta while roasting the veggies, when both are done, just combine and season to taste.  It tastes good too.. very, very good!

The natural sugars from [...]

Kaiserschmarren »

What?..what’s that again?!..my kids asked after I told them what we’re having for dessert.. it’s kaiser-something, I said and please don’t ask me anymore because I honestly can’t say it correctly, all I know is that I have to make this after seeing it on Wolfgang Puck’s website because it looks so yummy!
Kaiserschmarrn is an Austrian dessert that is [...]

Giada’s Simple Tomato Sauce »

This is Food Network’s Giada de Laurentiis’ recipe for Simple Tomato Sauce. I always make a batch of this whenever I have the time and store it in the fridge or in the freezer. This is great for those time that I’m too busy (or more likely,too lazy) to cook, I just cook some pasta, [...]

Nigella’s Chocolate Chip Muffins »

A good healthy and hearty breakfast is what we all need and should have every morning but sometimes I like to prepare something quick, easy and yummy-thank goodness it’s not-oatmeal or rice again- breakfast  like these chocolate muffins which my kids and yes, my rice-loving husband too like it very much.
These  are so much like chocolate [...]

Carrot Muffins »

One of my favorite carrot cupcake  muffin recipes..it’s simple and easy and healthier than most carrot cupcakes   muffins recipes I’ve tried. This is similar to this recipe but quicker because this one doesn’t have chopped  dates, and that save me extra time  plus I did not make the creamcheese frosting because honestly in my opinion it didn’t need any [...]

Cabbage Rolls (Galumpkis) »

I first saw this dish in a publication way way back when I was in college and I said to myself that I’m gonna make this dish one day…after a decade and a half, I finally got to make it..yay!  I’ve since lost that recipe I’ve been so meaning to make, luckily there’s internet already and I [...]

Mango Flan On Brownies »

I’ve seen this from Gale Gand’s TV show, Sweet Dreams, I wanted to make this ever since but never got the chance to do so and when I found out that Kulinarya Cooking Club  is showcasing leche flan, I thought this is the perfect time to do it.  I will also share my very simple and [...]

Indonesian Ginger Chicken »

I can’t believe I did not make this sooner…this is such a super yummy and really, really easy dish.    There are only a few ingredients and I have them in stock.   I made this the same day I got the recipe- I have all the ingredients for the marinade, and we had it for dinner the next day.  This [...]

Apple Cheesecake Streusel Bars »

I made this really yummilicious bars last year , it’s like an apple crumble and cheesecake rolled into one.  The recipe is from Paula Deen, it’s originally with caramel topping but I didn’t add  it ( actually, I overlooked the caramel topping..totally missed it,  hehee);  if you want you can use any ready-made caramel topping or dulce de leche.  [...]
