Whenever I go to a Japanese bakery, I always gravitate to their strawberry shortcake. It’s such a simple dessert of sponge cake, whipped cream, and strawberries. Yet, this combo is just so good! Not too sweet, but packed with flavor. The cake and cream are the perfect components to make the strawberries truly shine!

I saw an account called Flamingo Estate post a burnt honey tart and upon seeing it, I had to try making it myself! However, their recipe called for 10 eggs and 2/3 cup honey, which for me seemed quite pricey. haha. So I decided to make a tart with half of those ingredients subbing the rest with a delicate whipped cream. The tart has a delicate floral flavor with a strong fragrance of beeswax. It’s a tart that you either like or don’t like.

I love when granola contains crunchy clusters and so I’ve been searching for a way to guarantee them whenever I make it. That’s when I found this recipe by Serious Eats which has you soak the oats in buttermilk beforehand. Ever since making this granola, my parents requested that I always have a batch made. It’s that good! :D

I had a cowgirl cookie at a restaurant that I really liked which led me to dive into why it was named so. Then I discovered cowboy cookies which then led me to discover cowboy stew. I was so curious on how it would taste so I decided to make it! Cowboy stew is a hearty soup packed with meats and flavor. It consists of a lot of canned goods so it’s perfect to make anytime. It’s like a chili that’s been super beefed up.
