Jennifer chose this week’s recipe. To me, a recipe that calls for eating a cookie for breakfast is worth trying. In essence, they are cookie muffins crossed with healthy cookies. They are soft and cakey cookies made from whole wheat pastry flour, rolled oats, bran cereal, canola oil, pureed carrot baby food, sugar, and a… Continue reading A Take on Morning Cookies
Cherry Almond Chocolate Biscotti
There would be no carrot, green apple, and mint salad here if you came here expecting to find it. Despite this week’s recipe being selected by one of my favorite bloggers, who also happens to live in the same city like me, this salad wasn’t our cup of tea. Thank you! By the way, Jennifer,… Continue reading Cherry Almond Chocolate Biscotti
Fourth of July Star Style Cupcakes Recipe
Well, I couldn’t make a layer cake this weekend, and especially I couldn’t reach far enough to whip up a buttercream with three sticks of butter.

As much as I… Continue reading Fourth of July Star Style Cupcakes Recipe

Homemade Napoletana Pizza Recipe
Climbing the tree of perfection is a harrowing ordeal. When one does, through perseverance and sheer will, reach the peak, the view is stunning. Most of the dishes people eat out can be replicated or bettered at home by an adept home cook. I’ve been successful at both. I’ve managed to grill ribeyes to perfection,… Continue reading Homemade Napoletana Pizza Recipe
