Chewy Brownies

Instead of paying attention in physics lecture, I was avidly searching through the web for the secrets to the chewiest, chocolatey brownie possible. It's just hit that point in the semester.

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Scones

October has flown by, November is here, and it's finally fall weather in LA.

Earl Grey Cheesecake with Speculoos Crust

Someone pinch me, how the heck is it already almost the end of October?

Sweet Potato Cake

If you're Asian, you've definitely had this cake at some point.

Pumpkin Bread

Even though LA weather didn't get the memo that it's the middle of October, making this pumpkin bread will for sure get you into the fall spirit.

Brown Butter Maple Granola

Had my first PSL of the year, stocked the pantry with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice, slowly transitioning the wardrobe to all the hoodies and sweaters. Fall is in full force and I am LOVING IT.

Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies

Helloooo it's officially the start of fall! My body is ready for the sweater weather, mugs and mugs of tea and coffee and pumpkin and food comas. 

Mint Mascarpone & Lemon Curd Tarts

Soooo I know I said we were switching gears here, but my mint plant was getting out of control and I had to do something about it! 

Brown Butter Zucchini Bread

Switching gears on the blog! BRING ON THE PUMPKIN.

Raspberry Framboise Pound Cake

WOW it sure has been a minute since I've posted anything here. I've neglected this blog long enough, and it's about time I bring it back to life. 

Almond Honey Orange Cake with Balsamic Strawberries and Whipped Mascarpone

As it gets deeper and deeper into the school year, and midterm after midterm pulls me deeper into insanity, I can’t help but woefully reminisce about the sweet freedom of summer. In the midst of this nostalgia for friends and home, here is a bright, fresh ode to summer smack dab in the middle of fall. 

Summer Brekkie 2016

(I wrote this post before school started, but finally got around to posting it after the craze of college settled down. If you're still on summer break, savor your freedom by making one of these brekkies!)

There’s exactly 7 more days until I head off to college. 7 more days until I’m 18. 7 more days until I’m not considered a child anymore. 7 more days until I can have a credit card under my own name. Despite all these official sounding things that come with the age 18, it’ll be a long while before the child in me grows up. 

Foodie Adventures: Great Maple {San Diego}

Currently writing this post on the plane to Seattle. Feeling weirdly adultish typing on my laptop up in the clouds. 

Tiramisu with Homemade Ladyfingers

It's been over a month since I graduated high school. I have a month left of summer now. Before college. Before life away from home. Life, man.

Chocolate Strawberry Cake with Whipped Cream Frosting

So this recipe was meant to be posted months ago, but never late than never, right?

The Art Assignment: Miso Carbonara with Spicy Jalapeño Sausage and Corn

I know many would not believe me when I say this meal was made for an actual homework assignment for AP Art History. Even my mom didn't. BUT IT'S TRUE! 

SAN FRANCISCO & BERKELEY TRIP

This post is long overdue, but better late than never! So excited to share one of the best trips of my life and relive it as I write this post. Get comfortable and grab a snack, you're gonna need it.

TGIF #3

THE FIRST TGIF THAT'S ACTUALLY ON FRIDAY LOL. Or I hope I post it by Friday. Currently writing this post on a Wednesday in my anatomy class while my crazy teacher is rambling about the immune system.

TGIF #2

I know it's not Friday. Sadly it's Monday. Procrastination is an issue.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Cookies

Spring is finally here! 2016 is really flying by. It seems like yesterday when it was just the beginning of March, the dreaded month of long awaited college decisions to come one by one. It's still hard for me to believe that I even applied to college. I still feel 12 tbh. Now it's the beginning of April, which is FULL OF EXCITING THINGS one after the other. Next week is spring break, which I'm going to be spending being a lazy potato and visiting colleges. Then the week after that I'm visiting Berkeley with my breadmate Michelle! Just thinking about waking up at 4 AM and eating McDonald's breakfast at the airport brings a smile to my face. That wasn't sarcastic, I just love going to the airport at inhumane times. So much to look forward to!
