Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? As I mentioned last week, we had a small hot pot meal, and it was delicious. We had two types of broths: miso and tom yum. For proteins, we had snakehead fish fillets, pork belly, and eye of round. The pork belly was the best because of the fat,…

My favorite zucchini bread
I’m not really a baker; the precision required is a bit much for me. However, I love the idea of baking. A couple of years ago, during the pandemic, I found a zucchini bread recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction that I look forward to every fall. The only thing is, I think Sally has updated…
Self Quarantine Banana Spice Cake/Bread
I had a ton of bananas that I couldn’t finish before they started going brown and spotty. You know what that means, right? Time to bake something banana-y. Well, since we’re not supposed to leave our homes unless it’s to do essential business I needed to find a recipe where I already had all of…
Overnight Eggnog French Toast Casserole for the Holidays
My brother was curious as to what eggnog tasted like so he bought a quart of it to try. As it turns out none of us really liked it much. I’m sure it’s better with some liquor in it, but it was too thick and custardy for me. So, now I’m stuck with a quart…
Jalapeno Ranch Dip
NFL season openers go down tomorrow. I’m incredibly excited for the Cowboys and Niners game. When you live in Texas, football is a religion. Anyway, I’m not here to talk about football, but if you’re going to a watch party I have the perfect dip for you. I had this dip (or something similar) five years…
Sopapilla Cheesecake Pie
Earlier this week I made sopapilla cheesecake pie and took it to work. I’m on a wonky schedule for the month of September so it was a thank you ahead of time to my co-workers for putting up with it. THANK YOU! I had quite a few people ask me for the recipe so I’m going…
Chili Soup
The weather in North Texas has been nothing short of craptastic lately. This has to be the coldest winter that I can remember and we are not out of the woods yet. So, I thought I’d share a recipe that will surely make your cold days a little bit warmer. This chili soup recipe is…
Best Chocolate Cake EVER
My boss makes the best chocolate cake in the world. He loves to bake, but we don’t let him make anything but this chocolate cake when we have pot lucks or birthday parties. Is it a secret family recipe? Nope. It is actually the “Perfectly Chocolate” chocolate cake recipe that’s on the Hershey’s Cocoa container….
Emily’s Pancakes
I got this recipe in 2008 from my ex-boyfriend’s mother. Her name isn’t Emily. She got the recipe out of a magazine like 20 something years ago and apparently it was from a lady named, Emily. I think… Anyway, these pancakes are not like your typical pancakes. They’re really light and fluffy. I don’t like…
Toblerone Cookies
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope it’s been a good one so far. Anyway, I wanted to share a recipe with you. It’s one that I got in a Target coupon book. It was on the back of a coupon for Toblerones. I am not a baker and I don’t do it well, but these cookies…
