Baking with kids is messy. I am not going to hide this fact. But it is also immensely fun. Last time I made these cupcakes with my 3-year-old boy, we both enjoyed it a lot. The more I cook with kids, the more fun facts I find. Not only can it encourage them to eat, but [...]

Blueberry and Cranberry Crumb Muffin
My 3-year-old son helped me decorate these cupcakes – basically scattered the sprinkles on top of the cupcakes, the kitchen counter, the floor, and lots in his mouth. A MESS! But I did enjoy it. He did too. And he asked to eat them all the time. Considered he’s never been interested into eating, this was very encouraging. And [...]

Honey Beer Bread
I am blogging this recipe not because I love beer. Why would you want to taste beer in a slice of bread? If you really love beer, drink it! But I am telling you that I found this recipe last evening, and I could’t wait and tried it right away. First, it took me only [...]
First, the cupcakes themselves without frosting are already great. Moist, rich, flavorful and quick to make. Thanks to Rosie from Sweetapolita who never seems to make anything wrong! Second, do you know that marshmallow is not required to make marshmallow frosting? Instead it basically takes egg white and sugar? I didn’t! When I decided to [...]
I have mentioned a thousand times that I have a son who DOES NOT EAT, as if the Internet is not getting bored enough. All I hope is that the more I say it, the more he will realize how bothering it is to me, and the more he’s willing to eat. I think it [...]

I can’t tell if it’s the crunchy streusel, or the creamy cream cheese filling, or the moist cakey muffin that makes these muffins so addictive. I had one for breakfast and one for afternoon snack yesterday. Ingredients (12-14 cupcakes): Muffin 2 cups all-purposed flour 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking [...]

Strawberry Cornmeal Mini Muffin
I really wish I could come up with an explanation. However, besides coincidence, I can’t think of any reason why I bake with strawberry AGAIN!!! Probably because Ethan was crazy picking strawberries and put them right in his mouth at my mom-in-law’s back yard. And all he wants to eat now is strawberry. Usually I [...]

Red Grape Streusel Muffin
It took me quite some time to finally move over from Blogger to WordPress after I mentioned my intention back then. The major reason is because I’m a complete tech-idiot that even something very simple to implement looks extremely complicated to me. I pass out only reading the first few lines of instruction. Over this [...]
