A couple years ago, my husband and I traveled across multiple states in the US while he was interviewing for residency spots. We turned his “school” travel into something fun! One of the cities he interviewed in was LA. There was no problem in trying to find things to do with him and to fill my time ...
Korean Street Food “Hotdog” aka Corn Dog
Hotdog (핫도그) in Korea isn’t the usual sausage in a long bun that we find here in the baseball stadiums. It resembles more of a corn dog but it is so much more than a corn dog. The “hotdog” is often stuffed with more than just a sausage, (think velvety cheese), is wrapped in a chewy dough, covered in ...
Blueberry Crumble
And summer is slowly (sadly) coming to an end. It actually is the end now and also the last of summer fruit. Two weekends ago, we went to the farmer’s market for some last summer fruit and vegetables. Blueberries were nearly dying but still yet alive and we found a stand selling super plump looking ...
Matcha Cheesecake Brownies
Some Fridays, after a long week of work I don’t want to go out and just want to cozy up in a warm sweater and have the smell of freshly baked goods fill the room. How about some warm matcha cheesecake brownies? Subtle matcha flavor with some deep fudgy chocolatey goodness. Pretty simple too without ...
Gooey Nutella Tart
Call me crazy but I'm not the biggest nutella fan. I don't dislike it, that would be really crazy but I don't go gaga over it like a lot of people! (I still love rocher ferrero though but probably more for the crispy texture). My first taste of nutella was when my brother brought some home from his ...
Korean Sweet Potato Tart (Goguma Tart)
One of my favorite foods in the winter is Korean sweet potatoes (goguma 고구마). Sweet potatoes often found and used in Korean recipes are different from the ones we find most common here in the States. There are two main Korean varieties - mul goguma and bam goguma. Mul goguma is more pale yellow in ...
Moist Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
A few weeks back, I baked an unmemorable pumpkin muffin or in my opinion a not so good pumpkin muffin but my husband noted, these aren't bad, they have the spice scent of carrot cake and I like carrot cake. Was he hinting that he wanted carrot cake? No, probably not, he's not good with secret ...
Healthy Greek Yogurt Cheesecake
It all started with a sample of Cheesecake at Wegmans. The innocent but sugar-evil employee was passing out a piece of raspberry cheesecake. Delicious. Husband and I were in a hurry though to get to the in-laws so we scurried away as I kept on looking back. Fast forward 2 weeks and we picked ...
Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies
It only makes sense that a baked good is my first post. A few years ago, I came upon baking because I was bored and it turned out, I wasn't too bad at it. I loved trying out new recipes and eating desserts warm, right out of the oven! I also loved spending time in the kitchen too see my parents eyes ...
