I married an Irishman. And St. Patty's Day is like Christmas to him. So at some point you know I *have* to do this. Usually stout goes very well with chocolate but today's recipe has a twist. Voodoo Ranger kindly sent us La Folie Grand Reserve Fernandito (cue the Spanish guitar!) which is a sour … Continue reading Double Chocolate Stout Cupcake with Irish Cream Buttercream →

Full disclosure, this is Nom Nom Paleo's recipe, slightly adapted. But honestly, I've made this recipe approximately 256,831 times. It's simple, delicious, and it can be doubled very easily. A couple of years ago Ryann invited 6 guys (fellow streamers) to stay over at our home for a charity event. (I felt like Snow White … Continue reading Green Chicken →

After last week's cookie that needed hours of slaving, this week's recipe is as simple as it gets. It's also one of my favorite cookies. I love the taste of ginger, but Ryann doesn't. So it's always difficult to finish off a batch of these cookies but recently I learned that Apocalypto_12 loves these so … Continue reading Apocalyptic Ginger Cookies →

The last time I made these cookies was probably two years ago. You see, I don't make it very often because there are many steps and some are quite cumbersome. I'm also not very good at making candies, which is what marshmallows are. But every time I make these little morsels of delight, I always … Continue reading S’mores Cookies →

Ah.. the humble pork shoulder, or also known as pork butt. Butt. Hehehe... (Yes, I am an adult. Why do you ask?) This is probably the most economical piece of meat out there. It's relatively inexpensive and when cooked correctly (low and slow) it will yield the most *chef's kiss* succulent dishes. It is also … Continue reading Apple Cider Pork →

Remember when we used to go to conventions? I know, it feels like it was last decade. In fact, it was last decade because this is 2021 and it's the start of a new decade. Maybe you'll argue with me but this is my blog and I'll write what I want. LOL. When Ryann used … Continue reading Chicken Crack Wings →

Once again, my obsession with the purple tuber returns. This time it's in the form of a babka. If Cece was Filipino instead of Indian, this is the pastry version of her love child with Schmidt. Only those who have watched New Girl would understand that reference. Anyway... let's bake, shall we? Ingredients for dough: … Continue reading Ube Babka →

Yes, this would have been the perfect recipe to publish right around Thanksgiving or Christmas because you can definitely use leftover cranberry sauce, as long as it's not the canned kind. Even if you don't have any leftover cranberry sauce, it's probably a lot easier to find fresh cranberries around that time than now. But … Continue reading Cranberry Lemon Bars →

It's another ube recipe. I think I'm just slightly obssesed with this purple tuber. If you've met me in person, you will likely know that purple is one of my favorite colors. Plus my husband is on Twitch, so we gotta kinda stay on brand. But if I really want to stay on brand with … Continue reading Ube Crinkle Cookies →
