A trip to Germany Inspires
i just got back from an extremely spontaneous and short trip to Berlin. It was amazing! While there, we ate at two really great restaurants, Hasir (Turkish) and Schogl’s (German). I loved every bite. Now that I’m back, I wanted to share that yumminess with my family (really, I had to recreate the deliciousness before…

Mom’s Pancit
This turned out so good that my Filippino husband said it tastes just like Mom’s. So, of course I had to post it. If it’s your birthday or new year, it’s tradition to eat long noodles for a long life. And if you’ve been to any Filippino family gatherings, pancit is a staple. It’s…

Cranberry and Pear Pie
This pie has become a Thanksgiving staple. It has even (gasp!) replaced my pumpkin pie. It’s the perfect amount of tart but not too sweet compliment to ending a rather filling meal. I know that it’s January but I didn’t get a chance to post this in November. I did see cranberries at the grocery…

The Best Potato Salad Recipe
I have to admit it. I’m the picnic-er who always passes on the potato salad (I also always want to spell potato with an “e” but that’s a whole other post). It’s just not appealing to me to eat mayo and cold, smashed potatoes and pickles in one dish. That is until I ate…

Vegetarian Lasagna
Today’s the day I’m going to post all my recipes that I’ve been meaning to archive here since THANKSGIVING! It’s been cray, don’t ask. But I’m ready to finally mark this one off my to do list and I’m starting with my most favorite lasagna recipe. I bought an Ann’s frozen veggie lasagna for lunch…

Banana Bread – the search for a great recipe
It’s getting better, my quest for the perfect slice of banana bread made at home. I have a food memory from childhood of a toasty, banana-y, buttery banana bread slice served at my grandma’s house. I’m sure it was store-bought. But I’m on a mission to try to recreate that memory taste. Today’s recipe is…

Bakesale Betty Knock-Offs
There’s a restaurant in Oakland called, Bakesale Betty. Funny enough, I’ve never set foot in their establishment but have eaten these infamous fried chicken sandwiches of theirs on a number of occasions (my friends brilliantly picked up a bunch for their son’s first bday party). The sandwich is delicious. I think the draw really is…

Enchilada (sauce)
Did you know that enchilada sauce doesn’t have a tomato base? Or at least this recipe doesn’t. I was so surprised! Enchiladas seem complex to make but they’re actually really easy. I used to buy the sauce and add tomatoes and extra cumin to “make it my own”. That was until I tried to make…
