I’m going bananas. And I’m okay with it. For me, having a loaf of banana bread waiting for me at home is something that fills me, and my tastebuds, with great joy. Granted, it may not be the most conventional ‘snack food,’ but who wouldn’t want to sneak in a bite of sweet and softContinueContinue reading “The Best Bite of Banana Bread”

Yeehaw Cookies
Cowboys, lassos, and y’all…oh my! That’s exactly what I thought was awaiting me when I moved to Austin, Texas last year – to this day, my dad jokingly asks me if they have spots for horses in the grocery store parking lot. Austin is far from the stereotypical ‘Texas” scene that soContinueContinue reading “Yeehaw Cookies”
The Best, Bluest Blueberry Muffins
Whenever my parents would go to Sam’s Club, I would tag along knowing that amid the dauntingly gigantic aisles and bulk items made for a Brobdingnag (Gulliver’s Travels, anyone?), I would get to pick out one of my favorite treats: half a dozen jumbo blueberry muffins.

A ravioli by any other name
What’s the difference between a pierogi and ravioli? You’re expecting a joke or a pun, aren’t you? Well surprise, you’re gonna get a fun fact instead – the only difference is geography. Pierogis, ravioli, manti, dumplings, and more, are all filled pastas (fillings dependent on the culture) from different countries (And yes, I did spendContinueContinue reading “A ravioli by any other name”
Frosted Animal Cracker Cookie Dough Bars
Personally, I am a cracker fiend. Saltines, Club, Ritz, Animal, you name it, I’ll eat it. But I do have a special place in my heart for frosted animal crackers. You know what I’m talking about…the bright pink and white misshapen ‘animals’ (more like delicious blobs, nonetheless) that are drowning in tiny, colorful sprinkles? I’m sure thereContinueContinue reading “Frosted Animal Cracker Cookie Dough Bars”
