Stewed Peaches and Apple with Ice Cream!
Yep, I’ve been blogging-delinquent lately! Apologies friends! Life has been busy lately, and I finally found the cord-thingy that connects my camera to my computer. 🙂 But now, after being more settled in Texas (and getting my cooking/baking gear back!), I’m inspired to take advantage of the last of summer and the peaches that are … Continue reading
Mango Lassi Popsicle Bars
Mango lassi is a popular drink you’ll find in many Indian restaurants, made with plain yogurt, sweetener, pureed mangoes, and sometimes with spices such as cardamom. Here, I take the typical mango lassi and freeze it into popsicle molds. Of course, you can also skip the freezing part, and just drink as is between two … Continue reading
Baked Cake Doughnuts
Last week, I walked out of one of my favorite cookware stores with a brand-new find – a doughnut pan! I have always wanted to try baking doughnuts (less fat than regular fried doughnuts) so this was ideal to make perfectly round cake doughnuts. I’ll probably be testing a few more recipes in the near … Continue reading
Earl Grey Tea Cookies
Each day, I try to brew a cup of tea in the afternoon and have a little “me” time. Life has been quite hectic these days, and in the midst of moving and finishing up a lot of work, I’m trying to take some time to just….breathe. Enter in my Earl Grey tea cookies! I … Continue reading
Clementine, Fig and Almond Salad with Mint Tea Syrup
Calling this just a “fruit salad” wouldn’t do it justice. I was at a Middle Eastern market today, and was immediately transported to the old spice route from way back when, spending well over an hour poring through different dried fruits, nuts, herbs, and spices from the different aisles. I was mesmerized, and after buying … Continue reading
Macaron (and other fine desserts) hunt in Tokyo
Pistachio macaron with pistachio cream, topped with fresh berries at Laduree in Ginza Oh, I’m sure you all are thinking, “What in the world?! She’s a dietitian, and she’s eating that?” Yes, I am. And no, I don’t feel guilty about it either. So there! To me, there is no such thing as a “perfect” … Continue reading
Spicy Chocolate-Covered Apple Bananas
Here’s a simple recipe you can make if you’re craving a frozen dessert, but wanting a little more, fruit-wise. Here in Hawaii, we have apple bananas which are about half the size of regular bananas. I also find them to have more flavor even though they’re less sweet, and they’re more firm which makes them … Continue reading
Pear & Apple Crisp, with a twist
Fruit crisps are desserts that I never tire of making. They don’t require a recipe; all you have to do is “eyeball” some ingredients, and add more or less of what you like. For me, I like to make a crisp that is lower in butter, but I add in ground almond meal (my secret … Continue reading
Good Ol’ Sugar Cookies
It’s not that often you run across a cookie recipe that uses canola oil instead of butter for the fat, due to fears involving taste, texture, and moisture, but I found one! This sugar cookie recipe comes by way of The Gourmet Cookbook, by Ruth Reichl, and is perfection in a sugar cookie. I really … Continue reading
Yogurt Panna Cottas with Honey
Panna cotta is one of those things that is so easy to make, that if it takes you longer than 10 minutes of preparation, then something’s seriously gone awry. I’ve been on a panna cotta craze ever since hubby and I dined at Town the other week. I tried whipping it up without a recipe, … Continue reading
