Is it pronounced roo-guh-lah or rug-uh-lah? Or more like this horn? The reason I'm a little doubtful of my pronunciation is because English is not my first language. I once pronounced wreath like breath (did I trick you into saying breathe? Or still breath?). And whenever I said I'm making roo-guh-lah, Ryann thought I was … Continue reading Orange-Cranberry-Chocolate Rugelach →

It will be very irresponsible of me if I didn't give you all the necessary warning for this recipe. First of all, you will make a huge mess and you will have a ton of dishes to wash. Second of all, this recipe makes about two dozen and a half fritters (you can halve it … Continue reading Apple Fritters with Bourbon Glaze →

I made caramel apple pie on the day after Thanksgiving and while it tasted good, it was soupy. As in, I could hold back the pie and pour out about a cup's worth of liquid. This brings me to this point: the person who invented the saying "easy as pie" probably have never made pie. … Continue reading Caramel Apple Pie – Attempt #2 →

Yes, yes, it's two weeks in a row that I'm making something with purple sweet potatoes. I happened to buy too much of it, so... yeah. This is a traditional Indonesian dessert that after I made it, I realized that it resembles boba, but bigger balls (I am giggling like a schoolgirl as I type … Continue reading Sweet Potato Balls in Coconut Sugar Syrup →

Psst...! These are gluten-free. I'm not allergic or intolerant to gluten but I have a few friends who are and sometimes I bake for them just because. 🙂 They're also dairy-free. They're not sugar-free because I'm a baker, not a magician. Ingredients: 0.5 cup cooked purple sweet potato (or yam) - I cook them in … Continue reading Purple Sweet Potato-Coconut Mochi Muffins →

I have a sourdough starter and I don't like to toss out the discards. I keep them in the fridge and whenever I have an abundance, I make waffles. But today's recipe is not that waffle. It's called waffles but they are so much more than that. I think they're dessert. They're also wonderful with … Continue reading Liege Waffles →

It's October and pumpkins are everywhere. I have shared a savory pumpkin bread recipe and I thought about sharing a sweet one, but I thought while it's still October, we should celebrate Oktoberfest, so it's pretzels and beer cheese dip fest! Also, I was inspired by Voodoo Ranger's Higher Plane IPA. This may not be … Continue reading Pretzels and Beer Cheese Dip →

This recipe is an adaptation from Sally's Baking Addiction who consistently churn out awesome cookie recipes. When I first saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it out but I thought that maple and brown sugar might end up being too sweet. So naturally I had to experiment and add things to it. … Continue reading Apple-Pecan-Bacon Maple Brown Sugar Cookies →

Major apologies for failing to post the last two Sundays. I'm going to be brutally honest here because I think by this time, my posts have been chock-full of confession time. Two Sundays ago, I was busy... trying to watch as many episodes of 'Person of Interest.' I don't know why it took me so … Continue reading Challah Bread →

It's pumpkin season y'all!.... Bring out the scarves and knee-high boots even if it's still 90+ degrees outside. Just kidding, I'm not that basic. Today's recipe is pretty special for a couple reasons. When Ryann and I first tasted Voodoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin we instantly loved the taste. Many pumpkin beers can be too sweet … Continue reading Savory Pumpkin Beer Bread →
