Strawberry Matcha Pie
I love strawberry matcha lattes. Which led me to then think, wouldn’t it be great as a pie? So I decided to make a strawberry matcha pie! I made Four & Twenty Blackbirds’ matcha pie as a base and decided to top it with some delicious strawberry whipped cream. Since I paired it with strawberries, I added more matcha to contrast with the flavors better. A perfect recipe just in time for spring! :)
Pear Almond Tart
Pears and almonds are such a great combo. And they’re even more delicious when they’re placed inside a tart! I followed David Lebovitz’s recipe and I love the way that he makes his tart crust. It’s so quick and easy!
Triple Berry Cake
My grandma loved Sweet Lady Jane and their triple berry cake. And so did I! :D But ever since I heard that they suddenly closed down at the start of this year, I’ve been craving their signature cake even more! That’s why I decided to try making this cake from scratch on my own. I suck at making cakes and so I make so many mistakes whenever I make them. This recipe is just an attempt and my sharing of such an attempt! Haha. Hope you enjoy. :)
Persimmon Almond Galette
I made this persimmon almond galette for Thanksgiving last year that I just threw together and got a few requests for the recipe. So here it finally is! Haha. Have you ever had persimmons? They’re such a delicious fruit! The only problem is that just like figs, they are only available for a small portion of time during the year.
Raspberry Rugelach
I made these raspberry rugelach a few years ago and revisit this recipe by BA every so often. It’s one of my favorite cookie recipes! I love how they’re tart, sweet, and nutty. They have it all! The only thing though is that they take a bit of work to make. But once you have it all assembled, you just need to slice and bake! Hope you give these raspberry rugelach a try.
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
