Everywhere you go, everything screams FALL IS HERE! I didn’t think I’d be excited as I loved all Summer-ry foods. But as soon as the first wind of fall came in, I was taken over by the cold spiced air. Fall reminds me of light jackets, pumpkins, soups, and comfort food. I’m not a fan of [...]

Cheesecake Experiment

It’s been a week since we celebrated Eid, I can’t believe all of Ramadan has gone and went by right before my eyes. It’s like any other exciting event in my life. I’ll sit there for weeks waiting in anticipation and when it finally comes, I turn my head and everything just breezes right by in [...]

Ramadan has ended and we celebrated Eid this past Sunday. It was nice to have it on a non-school/work day so that everyone could enjoy it properly. I wanted to give someone Candied Lemon Slices as a gift since they looked delectable. I never made them before so I thought it’d be nice to try [...]

I’ve been focusing a little bit more on making what is on my List of things I’ve been wanting to make. What’s the point of a list if you don’t follow it? I wanted to cook so badly since I really hadn’t made anything during Ramadan. I came across a beef stroganoff recipe that seemed [...]

Bavarian Cream. It just sounds like some exotic, gourmet food. I had never heard of it until I saw Julie & Julia. When I decided I’d make it, A Lil Nibble asked what it was. I shrugged and just said we’ll see. I knew it was some sort of custardy-ish dessert but didn’t know the [...]
Mousse vs Creme de Pots?

While I was on foodgawker, I saw a really easy recipe for chocolate creme de pots. I wanted to try it but I didn’t have any whole milk on hand. Instead I found a recipe for chocolate mousse (I don’t know what the difference between creme de pots or mousse is….anyone know?). When I added [...]

After my cheesecake-brownie happening, I was determined to find something better to my liking and so I looked to Dorie. As I was flipping through the pages, I came upon Raisin Swirl Bread, which I’ve been meaning to make for a while for the kids. The kids love raisin bread but it comes from Pepperidge Farm, containing corn [...]

Although I was going through a dry spell of cooking/baking, my mind hadn’t been. I was excited when I received my copy of Julie and Julia, playing movie clips in my head. I have just finished all 359 pages of Julie’s book, walking through with her and her project of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I [...]
