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 [...]

Honey Beer Bread
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 [...]

Caramelized Onion and Sausage Pizza
Anyone who has been reading my blog should know that what a fussy boy I have when it comes to eating. Or not eating. Or anything. So when he got all ecstatic about pizza that he would keep checking on the oven to see when it would come out, so he could pick all the pepperoni and [...]

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 [...]
I know……I know……I’ve been baking too much with strawberry, like this cake, these cupcakes, oh, and those muffins. BUT, this one is special. This is a bread. A braided one. Beautifully made. When I came across with this recipe, I couldn’t care if I should be done with strawberry. It’s summer……well……very soon. And the only [...]

Spiced Pear Mini Muffin
“I’ve never walked up to someone and asked ‘Are you lululu?’ before!” Christie emailed me after the 2010 Pear Excellence Culinary Student Competition that she invited me to attend last week. I did laugh out loud when I read this first line she wrote me as I felt a little embarrassed. At the same time, [...]
