Blueberry Lemon Sugar Muffins

January 22, 2019 Breakfast

In the middle of winter when it is definitely not blueberry season I suddenly had the immense desire to make blueberry muffins after seeing the cute aqua cartons that blueberries are sold in at the Farmer’s market outside my apartment on Thursdays. Paired with smelling a blueberry muffin at a brunch restaurant nearby, these were […]

Berry Chiffon Cake

November 14, 2018 Cakes

This recipe is the same chiffon cake originally posted in the chiffon cream cake recipe but decorated with black and blueberries instead for my mom’s birthday recently. The basic chiffon cream cake recipe is classic so can be dressed many different ways by changing the toppings or fillings. While decorating the back of the cake […]

Blueberry Pie

July 27, 2018 Dairy-Free

A lot happened in the time between the last pie posted on the blog and this one. I finished my intern year, which was a bittersweet end because as much as I don’t miss getting paged about ordering Colace or Melatonin at 12 am, I do miss my friends from intern year. I did a surgical year […]

Peach lattice pie

April 9, 2018 Dairy-Free

Pie crust is one of my favorite things to eat because of the crispy layers. Despite vegan margarine having a lower melting point than butter, I’ve found if you cut the butter in the right way you can achieve a crispy texture without difficulty. The last time I wrote about pie crust (post link) I […]

Three cup chicken

March 22, 2018 Asian Dishes

Three cup chicken is a classic Southern Chinese named three cups because there are equal parts rice wine, soy sauce, and sesame oil in the sauce. This is a highly requested dish by the Spork and I can see why since the meat is soft, sticky, and sweet and melts off the bone when pushed with […]

Sharing a simple recipe for my favorite dumpling 🙂 this dumpling is filled with eggs, chives, and vermicelli noodles and is a light alternative to the traditional pork and cabbage dumplings available at restaurants and frozen food aisles. Many Chinese restaurants like to use this filling to make the Asian version of an empanada, essentially a large […]

Red Velvet Dream Cake

August 3, 2017 Cake Decorating

This cake is one of the most decadent I’ve made – combining a red velvet inside with a fluffy whipped cream outside. I actually made it a few months ago, but am just getting around to writing up the post on it because so much has happened in the last few months. To re-cap, I […]

Lychee Swirl Cupcakes

June 15, 2017 Cake Decorating

I have been wanting to make a swirl cupcake with two-toned frosting ever since my friend Marta showed me a photo of some cherry swirl cupcakes she had made a few years ago. They were just beautiful! But the thought of getting two colors of frosting to pipe neatly seemed a bit of a headache, and […]
