Food is love. In my house, it’s true. I love cooking and baking for those I love, and if they happen to be sweet treats that look as cute as they are delicious, well, then so be it. Here is a small roundup of some beautiful ideas for Valentine’s Day sweet treats which I found [...]
My mother has definitely been my inspiration in the kitchen. Growing up in a Filipino household, food played a very important part of my life from day one. I have many memories of tons of friends and family coming over for various parties and having huge food spreads, with everyone walking through the door [...]
Peppermint Bark is a tradition in my holiday gift-giving repertoire, mainly because it seems to be something people actually love and enjoy, but also because, quite frankly, it is SO super easy and does not take too much time. Let’s face it: we can all use more time around the holidays. This year, I decided [...]
Just in time for the holidays… Caramel Salted, Chocolate Drizzled Brownies Actually, these are good year-round, but they make especially wonderful hostess gifts for all of those holiday parties you will be attending, as well as teacher gifts, BFF gifts, gifts to neighbors — you name it! To make the brownies, I use my [...]
Every once in a while, I am reminded of why online communities are just as important and certainly as powerful as the communities in which we physically live. I have never met Jennifer Perillo in real life, and she most likely has absolutely no idea who I am, but I’ve followed her blog and on [...]
It’s ice cream season! I love ice cream. Baskin Robbins mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream of all-time, hands down. We’re always looking for random ways to make the ordinary super fun with the kids, so when I saw this adorable idea for Ice Cream Truffles on Pinterest, I thought we could give [...]
I’m not a huge brownie fan. They are usually so dry. However, my husband and my kids love brownies, so I’ve played around & created this recipe. It’s more like a cross between a chocolate lava cake (because of the gooey chocolatey center), a brownie and a chocolate bar. Thanks to the amount of semi-sweet [...]
I’ve made a lot of cookies in my day. Shortbreads, bars, macarons, biscottis – you name it, I’ve made it. I always come back to the classics, though, and there are few cookies that, in my mind, can beat a good ol’ batch of chocolate chip. If you’re looking for an awesome batch of chocolate [...]
This weekend, I made the absolute most divine tart EVER. Buttery tart shell. Caramel custard filling. Chocolate glaze. Praline-flecked whipped cream. Pure BLISS on a plate. Last December, I enjoyed a lovely night out at Simpatica Catering along with a group of fabulous women, to bid our dear pal Kelly adieu as she returned to [...]
Some people say that gingerbread is a seasonal flavor, meant to be enjoyed just around the winter holidays. Those people are missing out. I love gingersnap & gingerbread cookies year round. It’s still chilly here in my lovely hometown of Portland, Oregon, and these Gingerbread Lemon Smile Sandwich Cookies are the perfect afternoon treat to [...]
