Pineapple Tarts

Pineapple Tarts

These pineapple tarts need no introduction. I had previously blogged and raved about pineapple tarts when I first tried out Novice Baker‘s pineapple tarts recipe. This time, my pineapple tarts come in a different—but smaller—shape. They are still crumbly, buttery, and addictive. Once you pop one in your mouth, you just can’t stop and want more.

Raspberry Muffins Recipe

Raspberry Muffins Recipe

There is something very comforting about baking on a Sunday afternoon. First of all, the smell of baking perfumes my whole house with sweet and buttery aromas; secondly, there is no better way to beat my Monday blues than with homemade baked goods and start off the busy work week on the right foot. So, that was exactly what I…

Raisin Scones Recipe

Raisin Scones Recipe

I have never paid much attention to scones–I don’t even remember the last time I had them, but it all changed when I was on my cruise vacation. Being on a giant ship 24 hours x 9 days—mostly sea bound—means that the best past time on board was to eat. Every afternoon, I had scones for my afternoon tea, and…

Banana Bread (Banana Cake) Recipe

Banana Bread (Banana Cake) Recipe

I had gone completely bananas with this delicious banana bread. (Banana bread is also known as “banana cake” outside of the United States.) I love the smell of baking, especially the smell of banana bread, so yesterday, I baked banana bread (banana cake). Previously, I baked banana nut muffins to perfume my house with the sweet aromas of bananas. My…

Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Shortbread Cookies Recipe

One thing I resolved to do better is learning how to bake, so when I was home this past trip, I managed to pick up a ton of baking essentials: cookie cutters, scale, baking thermometer, cake tester, scraping spoons, etc. (Things are a lot cheaper in Malaysia despite the weak dollars!). Last weekend, I unwrapped all my shiny new baking…

Lemon Chiffon Cake Recipe

Lemon Chiffon Cake Recipe

This my lemon chiffon cake. I love the lemony essence and the pillowy soft texture of this chiffon cake. Other than lemon flavor, I also love coffee and pandan (screwpine leaf) chiffon cake. What kind of chiffon cake do you like? (Click Page 2 for the Lemon Chiffon Cake Recipe)

Blueberry Pound Cake Recipe

Blueberry Pound Cake Recipe

My neighborhood Ralph is giving away more eggs–another carton of 18 large eggs–so that gives me another shot of cultivating the inner-baker in me. I baked a pound cake. With some blueberries. It was yum. (I finally made good use of the bundt pan that I bought months ago.) After a few failed attempts–which I chose not to document here–I…

Banana Nut Muffins Recipe

Banana Nut Muffins Recipe

I am not much of a baker, but I love baking banana nut muffins that perfumed my house with the sweet aroma of bananas and the unmistakably something-is-baking buttery fragrance. Banana nut muffins are probably one of the most popular muffins–not to mention utterly delicious. My banana nut muffins recipe is adapted from Food Network. It’s really simple and non-baker…

Mini Portuguese Egg Tarts

Mini Portuguese Egg Tarts

I made these mini Portuguese egg tarts for a birthday party a couple of days ago and I just have to share the pictures above with you because they are simply too cute. Somehow the mini egg tarts tasted even better than the regular ones I made months ago. I am also entering this to “June 2007 Monthly Mingle –…

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe

Truth be told, I am a food snob. I shun away from chain restaurants–Cheesecake Factory, nah; The Olive Garden, meh; Denny’s, are you kidding me?! So, you have it, I am a food snob. I avoid going to franchise or chain restaurants at all cost, well, unless I am starving to death or stuck in the middle of nowhere and…
