Lemon Curd »
I have never tasted lemon curd before and I’ve always wanted to make a batch at home. I imagine it would be deliciously tangy; perfect with something sweet and delicious.. like layer cakes, doughnuts, lemon rolls and trifle. My family is not a big fan of lemony desserts but they always eat (and most of [...]
Pain Perdu (Challah French Toast with Almonds) »
Pain Perdu is french toast , it literally means “lost bread”. I first saw this from Barefoot Contessa, I love the addition of sliced almonds and how thick and big each toast is and the strawberry makes it soo mouth-watering; while I was watching Ina make it, I was itching to try it too at [...]
Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic »
I’ve been meaning to try this dish from Ina Garten and finally I got over my laziness to peel a LOT of garlic cloves, (who likes peeling garlic anyway ;)) that I even went beyond 40. I love the aroma of garlic when it’s frying, soooo mouth-watering delicious. I never thought that one day I [...]
Pretty Flower Cupcakes »
These cupcakes have gotten raves from everyone who have tasted it. They’re not just pretty but very yummy too. I have several vanilla cupcake recipes that I use before but I decided to stick to this one because it’s easier and gives me consistent result everytime. It can take on different flavors too, just substitute [...]
Raisin Pecan Oatmeal Cookies »

I was tempted to add chocolate chips but this recipe has great reviews over at the food network site so I decided I will just replace the [...]
Croissant Bread Pudding »
Bread pudding is one of my favorite childhood eats, but the bread pudding that I used to eat, I have to admit, wasn’t as delicious as this croissant bread pudding. It’s not surprising though because the deliciousness of a bread pudding depends on the quality of the bread you are using. I once saw [...]
Patrick Star’s Rock Cake (aka Beatty’s Chocolate Cake) »
This is my attempt to create a Patrick-themed cake. Yeah, that’s right, no Spongebob; It’s not that we like Patrick more than Sponge B.; I just thought Patrick would be easier to make. This cake is a really yummy chocolate cake. This recipe was chosen by Mary of Passionate Perseverance for the Barefoot Bloggers group [...]
Ina Garten’s Mango Banana Daiquiris »
Last month I joined a group called Barefoot Bloggers, it’s a group of bloggers dedicated to following the steps of Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten) by recreating her recipes, twice in a month. I love Ina, I even call her my aunt Ina :) (shhh..) Love her recipes, I tried many of them before I even [...]
