Just when you thought you had seen all there was to be seen in terms of cinnamon rolls, Lis comes to the rescue with a knock-off of the famous Cinnabon rolls.
You know, just in case we needed an extra bit of butter and sugar… and of course I was ready, summer just around the corner [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a recipe index! It´s right above the photo header with the dripping dulce de leche. And while it´s not ordered alphabetically or anything, it does have different sections to keep things useful, so I hope you like it.
I seriously can´t believe it´s already been a year since I started this blog. After 130 some entries, some things have come to feel normal… even stalling people before they can dig in so I can take pictures of food (and pretending they don´t hate me for it), but I still marvel at many things [...]
I haven´t always understood the fascination with peanut butter. Now before you kill me, peanut butter isn´t common all over the world, we do have a peanut butter candy called Mantecol, but other than that, you just don´t see peanut butter. Which is why when I first tried it in the US a few years [...]
The Daring Bakers are back, did you miss us? Well, I´m sure my hips didn´t!
This month is all about cream and chocolate, so they won´t be getting any sort of rest. When I heard that Mary had chosen Bostini cream pie as our challenge this month with an orange flavored genoise cake, I knew it [...]
I rarely use condensed milk. Don´t get me wrong, I love it, especially laying in a Brazilian beach and having it with a tropical fruit salad inside a pineapple… I need a vacation ASAP!
But anyway, I just don´t see recipes using it and when I do, they seem a bit too sweet, and as you [...]
Some flavor combinations are simply perfect, it´s as if the spices had belonged together for centuries… come to think of it, that would actually be the case with chai spices.
As I have said before, I have a bit of a love story going on with chai tea, and lately that has started to branch out [...]
If you happen to see buns all over the place today, do not panic, you are not losing your mind, it´s just that the Daring Bakers are at it again, and with some 50 new members, this is looking like world domination at this point.
I was in charge of hosting this month, and while I [...]
My ode to spring can start to make sense when you see strawberries like these:
Strawberries are definitely one of those fruits better eaten fresh and not covered with too many flavors. It´s more of a matter of enhancing the natural flavors.
And while strawberries with whipped cream are perfectly fine in my world (and someday I´m [...]
… never throw away food.
Even though in this case it meant going against a food label that marked September 10th as the expiration date. But I mean, this was Sept. 11th, so I was just risking it for a day, and there´s no way I was going to throw away 2 plain yogurt jars just [...]
