As you may know, February 5 was World Nutella Day. I submitted my entry, a fried Nutella and banana sandwich with cinnamon sugar crust, but a comment on that entry inspired me to make a Nutella fruit dip. It’s basically a variation of this peanut butter dip, which I have made before and absolutely loved. [...]
When was the first time you heard of Nutella and tasted it for yourself? For me, it was 1995. My foreign language class was planning a “field trip” to Spain and France for spring break of that year. I was one of the lucky few whose parents allowed me to go. A friend of mine [...]
Cheesecakes are not one of my favorite dessert foods. It’s the cream cheese that I don’t like. I like cream cheese when it’s sweetened, like in frosting, or when mixed into muffins, but I don’t like it on its own or when the flavor of the cream cheese is too prominent.
This month’s Taste Of Home [...]
One of my all-time favorite breakfast foods is the cinnamon roll. Paired with a steaming cup of coffee or hot cocoa, it is perfect for when you’re feeling all warm and cozy on a chilly morning.
Unfortunately, I’ve noticed a lot of people are scared, or reluctant, to bake cinnamon rolls from scratch because of the [...]
I haven’t seen divinity around much these days and there’s only one time in my life that I remember eating this candy, and I was very young. My neighbor, a kind elderly woman, made great divinity, or so my mom says! I don’t even remember what it tasted like. My grandmother, on my mom’s side, [...]
In Parke County, Indiana there is an annual event known as the Covered Bridge Festival that runs for a week in early October (it actually starts today, too bad it is rainy and dreary!).
Parke County is famous for its 32 covered bridges, and has festivals throughout the entire county each year to celebrate their bridges. [...]
Soon after my third child was born, I had went a couple of weeks, maybe three?, where I didn’t bake anything. I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms! I found that cookies were easiest and quickest for me to bake, so I entered a cookie phase. A couple of good cookies from the cookie phase [...]
I believe that pancakes are supposed to be super easy to make, however mine never turn out fat, fluffy and golden brown like the pictures. My pancakes usually end up soggy in the middle and flat, and if I let them cook any longer they turn very golden brown!
Whatever I do wrong when I make [...]
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m really keen on matcha. My love for green tea started in 1999 when I visited Australia to see my then-boyfriend (now husband!). He took me to a lovely Japanese restaurant where he convinced me to try a bowl of green tea ice [...]
I was a huge skeptic of the microwave mug cake when I first heard about it, well over a year ago now. How could a microwave produce a good cake? I tried out the recipe soon and discovered that the microwave could not produce a good cake! I believe I overcooked it, as it was super rubbery [...]
