Where shall I start today’s post? Probably some of you may have noticed the cute little logo on the sidebar and a new page added to the navigation bar. I’m so excited to tell you about all the parties I’m going to throw each month! Yes, you’re invited too! And you, and you and you!…
Evaporated milk sweet buns
My family has high expectations from me. I can not make them go back to store-bought bread. No matter how little time I have on hand, I have to bake bread. Don’t get me wrong, I love making and eating homemade bread, but some days, when I’m struggling keeping up with laundry, cleaning, cooking, play dates…
Tomato tart with poppy seed crust and goat cheese
Tomato tart with poppy seed crust and goat cheese – buttery poppy seed and thyme crust, colorful cherry and kumata tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese It’s been quite a while since I shared a savory dish, a couple of months, since my version of rice and beans and a year since I last shared my favorite…
Funfetti yogurt cupcakes with Buttercream frosting
Rain or shine my day starts around 6 am. While making my morning tea I open the door letting the fresh air come in. I can smell the fall crispy air. Although the sun shines reminding us it’s still summer the nature seems to take a step forward. Leaves are yellowing, squirrels are rushing up and…
Pani Popo
Sweet, soft buns bathed and baked in coconut, pani popo are originated to the South Pacific Islands of Samoa. They are best served warm or cold as a dessert or with savory meals. I love every email I receive from you! May them be about a recipe I shared and you want to thank me…

Apple pie bars
Apple pie bars – cinnamon flavored bars with a buttery crust, apple slices, custard and streusel topping An apple a day keeps the doctor away. And peaches seem to be keeping me away 🙂 I have no idea where this week went. Between traveling and dealing with some blog issues, this week came and went…
Homemade healthy snack bars
We’ve been on the road for 4 weeks now. Time sure flew by. We had tons of fun enjoying our well-deserved family vacation. Soon it will come to an end and we’ll be looking forward to next year road trip, mapping out new places we have our heart set on. Being away from home from…
Lemon Sugar Cookies
Another summer treat. I’ll hang onto summer as long as I can. Abundant fresh fruit. Light desserts. Tell me you don’t like summer! And since I love you so much I didn’t want to let you wait forever for this lemon sugar cookies recipe I mentioned in my last post. I don’t have lots of…
Homemade Healthy Snack Bars
I had a hard time deciding what to name these bars. Oat bars? Granola bars? Hemp seed bars? Chia seed bars? Dried fruit bars? Seed bars? Energy Bars? Gluten free bars? Vegan Bars? Or just Oat Hemp Chia Seed Fruit Gluten-free Vegan Energy bars? That would have been too long, right? Ever since I shared…
Chickpea Flour Bread
I don’t own a bread machine and don’t see myself using one anytime soon. I think adding everything to a bread machine takes the fun away from seeing how your bread comes to life, starting with the proofing of the yeast, letting it rise, shaping it and finally waiting for the loaf to be baked…
