How do you like your cinnamon rolls? I like mine a bit toasted and crisp on the outside, not so sweet and with a strong cinnamon taste. Call me weird but I am not really into Cinnabon’s nor Cinnzeo’s cinnamon rolls…I just find them too...

Among the empanadas I’ve tried over the years, my favorite is still my mom’s baked version. As usual, I am wary of trying her chicken empanada. It’s the seasoning, I think! I don’t know how much salt and pepper to put and when I ask her, her...

***Updated (21Sep2016) Adding chocolate chips is a must…lacks sweetness when I just put 1/3 cup.*** I found a best banana muffin recipe in Pinterest and after reading the comments, decided to try it for myself. I have a few frozen bananas thawing in the fridge...

***Update: 15Feb2017–Cooked this again for a breakfast gathering with friends and I don’t know why but it tastes different…a bit salty and lacking in sweetness. Note to myself: try again with less salt (try 3tsp), 2 tsp hot sauce and make sure...

Gyoza is something that I wanted to try making for years now. I actually saw a nice recipe from one of my mom’s cookbooks a long time ago but I was very busy then with work, hanging out with friends…and going out on dates with my ‘then...
