Matcha Neapolitan Cookies
I make a cookie box to give out to friends and family every Christmas and every year, I always find myself making this one! I usually make it classically with the chocolate flavor but this time, I replaced it with some delicious matcha to make one of my favorite combinations: strawberry matcha! I love this cookie. :)
S’mores Bar
Trader Joes released a new product a while ago: the S’mores Bar! I went to my local Trader Joes many times but could never find it in stock. So… I decided to make my own! Funny thing is… I don’t really enjoy s’mores though? They’re so sweet! But I love the process and atmosphere of making them around a campfire. They give me such homey and comfy feels. :3 So I really wanted to make these and I finally did! :D
Apple Pie
My grandma loved apple pie. I was never a huge fan until I had it fresh where the crust is still crispy and the filling is gooey and warm. I wish I could have made this pie for my grandma but I only got into cooking/baking long after she passed. Hopefully, you all can make this pie for your loved ones this coming Thanksgiving! It’s a recipe I keep going back to! :D
Pumpkin Pie
Out of all thanksgiving pies, which one is your favorite? I gotta say that pumpkin pie is mine. I always need to go grab a slice whenever I see one! Haha. I’ve been using Sally’s Baking Addiction’s recipe for a while now! The cracks of pepper add such a nice subtle depth of flavor. The only thing though is that I always have leftover batter. But that’s ok because I just make mini pumpkin pies in a muffin tin! :D
Chicken Pot Pie
When I think of a dish that is the epitome of cozy and homey, I think of chicken pot pie! And a lot of other dishes like sullungtang and soups, but that’s beside the point! Haha. It’s like chicken noodle soup but reinforced with the decadence of pie dough and a roux. I remember my family would go to Marie Callender's and order their chicken pot pie and enjoying every moment of it. Now, I just make it myself! :D
Buttermilk Currant Scones
I used to live in San Francisco and I remember loving Tartine Bakery. They have awesome banana cream pies and chocolate croissants. But I believe that their sleeper hit is their buttermilk scones. These scones are a perfect balance of fluffy, flaky, and crispy. They have Zante currants which are basically raisins but smaller. You should definitely give these a try!
Pumpkin Bread
I have been making this pumpkin bread every year (and sometimes multiple times a year) since 3-4 years ago! I feel like the fresh ginger really makes a difference. Also the bread is so fluffy and moist. I keep going back to it! I’m a sucker for fall spices and this pumpkin bread by Bon Appétit is just so good! I highly recommend you try it out. :D
Fruit Tart
I made this fruit tart for my mom’s birthday, one of her favorite desserts! And who can complain? Pastry cream with fruit and a shortbread-like crust. Such a great combo. They especially look so aesthetic and pretty.
Peach Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is soooo good. I’m a huge fan of Erin McDowell and though she is usually known more for her pies, her peach cinnamon roll recipe is so delicious! I especially love the dough. It’s so enriched, fluffy and perfect! And the peach butter is such a nice addition to make a cinnamon roll lighter but packed with juicy peach flavor.
Peach Galette
I love galettes. They’re so simple and easy to make yet they’re so pretty and delicious as well! Add peaches to this? Even better! :D
