When I did ‘pseudo’ paleo diet, these cookies are the one thing that kept me through it. I didn’t feel deprived at all. In fact, when I eat ‘regular’ cookies now, I feel funny in my tummy. Everything in these cookies are good for you. Just make sure you use real cinnamon, ‘ceylon’. I even put…

Emy’s Mochi Biscuit
The ladies in my hula practice love food. We always talk about food, restaurants and share recipes. And we love to bring munchies when we practice. On our Saturday practice, very hungry Saturday, I find myself in front of these little butter mochi. I surrendered. I took a one bite. Ok, this must be a taste…

Sake & Food Pairing
Besides wine, Sake is my favorite drink (adult beverage, I meant). So when SakeOne (One of very few American sake makers. I think there are only 4…) contacted me, I was thrilled. They were going to send me a box of their premuim sake. Heck yeah! I will trade in food for sake anytime! And…
Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake
My 8pm sweet tooth kicked in. I opened the freezer. There is a lonely left-over pint of sorbet. Sorbet sounds way too healthy right now. Moist, rich and decadent chocolate – craving is real. So next day, I put my game face on to make some bad ass chocolate dessert. I always get what I want. 😀…
Gluten Free : Lemon-Millet Muffins

I have been waiting for the day you come to my house….**** Finally, muffins are approved by my husband! You can’t tell they…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I actually didn’t like peanut butter growing up and I eat everything, you know. (except for raisins. They scare me) I did not understand peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. But now I love peanut butter and jelly! Funny how people change, huh? Peanut butter cookies and a glass of cold milk. Guess I am a legit…
Coconut Cloud Cake
If you ask me what my favorite food is, the answer would be ‘Cake’. I would eat cake anytime of the day, I would crash any wedding for a piece of wedding cake. I become ugly when it comes to cake. I will fight for that second piece. Telling you, it gets uuugly. I can…

Cardamom-Honey Christmas Cookies
I have been in a cooking slump for last few days. Short rib I made the other night didn’t cook in time for dinner, I burned my husband’s breakfast (I was making ‘Bull’s eye’-toast with egg in the middle-yup very complicated breakfast), mango I bought for mango relish was dried out inside when I cut…
Fennel Ice Cream
I love good vanilla ice cream especially the ones where you can see those little black dots. But my new favorite flavor is Fennel! Fennel is new vanilla in my kitchen. How would I describe the taste? To me, it does taste like vanilla ice cream, believe it or not. With a bit of an edge….
Chocolate chip cookies
It is a rainy Sunday. The hubby went to play hockey, turkey stock simmering in the kitchen for Thanksgiving and I am reading my book on the couch. It’s the calm before the storm. I will start freaking out tomorrow. Before the thanksgiving craziness starts, I decided to make him a batch of his favorite chocolate…
Angel Food Cake with White Chocolate Frosting
I had this most divine angel food cake at a wedding cake shop in La Jolla one time. (It was $10 a piece! $$$) and since then I have been looking for that perfect angel food cake – ‘heavenly’ fluffy and moist. I have been looking and experimenting…and then I found this recipe in Italian…oh crap….
Chocolate pudding bites
I look at a dessert menu first when I go to a restaurant…anyone else do the same?!? no? yes? What’s the fun of having dinner without dessert, right? yes? no? I hate when I’m excited to see the dessert menu and person you are having dinner with said ‘I’m good without it’. Wawawawaaaaaa~~~~ I made…
