Do you remember that creamy delicious Meyer Lemon Curd I posted the other day? Well this is what I made with it. I was hoping that using the curd in a recipe, it would stop me from eating it by the spoonful. This is usually the case because when I start a baking spree, I…

Meyer Lemon Curd
When I got home from Costco the other day, my husband just about went nuts over one item. Meyer Lemons. Unfortunately, he does not understand the beauty in these lemons and how they are absolutely incomparable to other lemons. Even after attempting to explain why I bought them he couldn’t justify the purchase. You see,…
Galaxy Donuts
Being a food blogger, I follow quite a few food trends. There are a lot that I just question and many that I get really excited for. Galaxy Donuts get me giddy. Not quite sure why, because I am not a spacey/Star Wars/science type of gal. There is just something about creating something edible that…
The Best Strawberry Coconut Cupcakes
Whenever I have to bake cupcakes for an occasion, I almost always make these Coconut Cupcakes. They are always loved and are extremely popular.

Creme Filled Chocolate Cupcakes
When I say that I am a food blogger, people often ask if I go all out for holidays. They are always confused when I say no. See the thing is, I usually begin planning holiday posts at least a month in advance. When the actual holiday rolls around, I’m usually pretty over it. Then,…

Coconut Blueberry Lime Bundt Cake
Coconut Blueberry Lime Bundt Cake- whoa that title is quite the mouth full! But a deliciously tangy sweet mouthful. It seems that I get the urge to make a citrus bundt cake during the month of January every year. Last year I made a Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake, and the year before that I made…
Whole Wheat Pancakes with Strawberry Syrup
When January rolls around, I am like every other human on this planet. I crave healthy food, have a few pounds to lose, and am over the cold. I begin to crave the sunshine and fresh berries more than anything else. Thankfully, living in Southern California, the sunshine and strawberry season are right around the…
Eggnog Cake with Cheesecake Filling
I have been told I am quite a food snob and I can’t really disagree. I like homemade food and not generally something that comes from a box or a can. I love using fresh ingredients that we have either grown ourselves or found someone local to buy from. But we all have our…

Cranberry Sauce Coffee Cake
Now that we are almost a full week past Thanksgiving, I am sure most of you are on the tail end of your leftovers. If you are anything like me, the sight of more turkey may just make you spontaneously combust. Being a food blogger, we started early like November 1st kind of early. Since then,…

Sous Vide Creme Brûlée
