Pina Colada Smoothie

August 17, 2015 Dairy-Free

Before the end of summer, I wanted to share a summer drink recipe that is one of my favorites! The simple pina colada smoothie. A mix of the coconut milk, pineapple, and banana lends a very tropical taste to this smoothie. It reminds of the time my parents and I went o Hawaii during college, and there […]

Pumpkin Spice Candy Corn Cookies

September 25, 2014 Dairy-Free

These pumpkin spice candy corn cookies taste like Fall on a cloud. Soft, sweet, with a hint of spicy. Fall is my favorite cooking season. It’s the time when I eat all the cinnamon in my kitchen, bring out my pumpkin spice, and make the pumpkin flavored version of everything. I recently found some pumpkin spiced […]

Berry Smoothie

October 20, 2013 Breakfast

Fall happens later in California than in most states, which means berries are available longer. This smoothie is one I have for breakfast frequently during the summer and early fall. It’s strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, (and a banana) and manages to combine almost all of my favorite fruits into one meal. I also like how this […]

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pockets

December 28, 2012 Asian Dishes

I first discovered what Hoddeok was when reading Maangchi‘s blog. Hoddeok is a sweet pan-fried pancake that is a popular Korean street food. There are similar versions in other Asian Cuisines and it is popular street food in Northern China as well. My favorite part of Hoddeok is that when you bite into it, the […]
