Chocolate Rugelach

I always make a christmas cookie box for friends and family around this time of the year so I was thinking about which cookies I should make this time. I made raspberry rugelach before but never tried making chocolate ones. So, I decided to try making chocolate rugelach this time! I’ve been craving chocolate lately, so this might have influenced my decision… haha

Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls

I love cinnamon rolls so much. So when I was thinking about what I want to bake with apples, one of my first thoughts went to cinnamon rolls. I then started to think about what I can fill them with, and I came up with apple butter! So here’s some apple butter cinnamon rolls. :)

Apple Cider Rice Krispies Treats

I love rice krispies treats. So when I was thinking of making something with apples, I thought, why not make an apple cider rice krispies treat similar to an apple cider donut? And lo and behold, there was already a recipe online! haha. This rice krispies treat had a slight tang of the apple cider but I feel like it could have definitely used more of a stronger apple flavor.

Okonomiyaki

Have you heard of okonomiyaki? Its a japanese savory pancake dish consisting mainly of cabbage and batter. Its a highly customizable dish where you can add toppings and things from your fridge. In fact okonomi means as you like and yaki means grilled. So you can grill what you like.

Fig Pie

It’s finally autumn which means that figs are back in season! I saw a whole package of figs selling for cheap at my local grocery store and I had to buy them to make something with them.After some contemplating, I settled on making a simple but comforting fig pie!

Banana Pudding

Have you heard of Magnolia Bakery? They’re a super popular bakery most well known for their banana pudding, but did you know that they use instant pudding mix?! Even so, their banana pudding is still delicious haha. But did you also know that making banana pudding at home is super easy and so much cheaper? You can also use instant pudding mix if you like, but I like to make my pudding from scratch :)

Flourless Chocolate Cake

I love making flourless chocolate cakes as a birthday gift to friends. It’s so simple and easy to make yet tastes delicious! Also, I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. Can you believe that this cake consists of mainly four ingredients?! It has the perfect delicate balance between decadence and lightness. You should definitely give it a try!

Corn Mochi Cake

I have a friend who loves corn and rice cake, so when I saw this recipe online one day, I knew it would be the perfect birthday treat for her! That’s why I made this and found it to be so tasty yet easy to make! You just throw everything in a blender to mix and then bake. It has the springiness of mochi and the sweetness of corn.
