More than a decade after introducing its first pink product to help raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, KitchenAid is celebrating a major milestone: more than $9 million raised to date through its…

Glazed Lemon-Ginger Scones

Glazed Lemon-Ginger Scones

First, I wanted to start by saying that these glazed lemon-ginger scones were really amazing and I had four of them right out of the oven, and the next morning, I ate more! Ginger has always been my favorite ingredient. I always have some ginger in my kitchen. In Asian cooking, especially Chinese, ginger is indispensable and used in many…

(You can get all Chinese New Year recipes here, including baking, cakes, savory and dessert recipes.) For Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore, and those who live overseas, this time of year means one thing: baking time for the upcoming Lunar New Year.

Butter Cake Recipe

Butter Cake Recipe

(This is the BEST butter cake recipe ever. Updated with new photos. Originally published in 2008.) Even though I am still a rookie in the baking department, I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things, especially baking cakes. I love baking cakes; I find it rather easy, well, if I choose a simple recipe. I especially enjoy baking cakes…

Banana Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

Banana Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

Holiday baking is probably over but I have yet another great baking recipe to share with you all—banana oatmeal raisin muffins. I have always loved banana nut muffins, and raisin butter cake, so this muffin is sort of combining all my favorite ingredients into one, with the addition of oatmeal for the extra fiber and nutrition. This muffin is rather…

Mini Quiches

Mini Quiches

Quiche is French pastry crust filled with  savory egg custard made with cheese, eggs, ham, meat or vegetables. My co-worker introduced me to quiche many years ago and I have been hooked on quiche since. Quiche is something that I can eat on a daily basis, with some salad, and preferably with a serving of French onion soup. I simply adore…

Pecan Sandies

Pecan Sandies

My holiday baking continues today with pecan sandies, one of the classic cookies for the holidays. Everyone loves buttery and crumbly cookies and these pecan sandies are made with finely chopped pecans, butter, and all-purpose flour and dusted with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. I have never made pecan sandies before so I referred to a cookie magazine I got…

So this month, I am sharing a few of my favorite cookies recipes as well as party foods with you. When I decided to make thumbprint cookies, I…

Gougères (French Cheese Puffs)

Gougères (French Cheese Puffs)

This time of year is meant for baking. Not only that the holidays are fast approaching, but the falling temperature outside means more time in the kitchen as we spend less time outdoor. Nothing warms up quite like the warmth from baking something in the oven. Plus, the smell and aroma of baked goods are always welcoming in the crisp…

Banana Cream Cheese Muffins

Tomorrow is Halloween and I’m sure everyone is busy and gearing up for trick or treat. Baby G is celebrating his first Halloween this year, well, I mean he is actually going to dress up this year. The last two years, he was too little to understand anything so we didn’t dress him up and he didn’t go trick or…
