Okay, let me walk you through what I did in the kitchen today. Had this idea for a cheesecake, you know, the classic kind but wanted to brighten it up with some fruit right on top. Seemed like a good weekend project. Getting Started First things first, I had to pull everything out. Checked the fridge – yep, got the cream cheese, eggs, butter. Pantry...

Okay, so tackling a cheesecake up here in the mountains is always a bit of an adventure. The air’s thinner, things bake differently. I decided to give it another go, focusing on nailing that smooth, creamy texture without the dreaded cracks or sinking middle. Getting Started: The Prep First things first, I gathered all my stuff. Cream cheese (gotta be room temperature, seriously, leave it...

Ok, here we go! Let me tell you about my edible butter candle experiment. My Edible Butter Candle Adventure So, I stumbled upon this “edible butter candle recipe” thing online, and I was like, “Whoa, that’s kinda cool and weird, I gotta try that!”. I mean, butter you can light on fire and then eat? Sounded like a fun project for a boring Saturday. First...

Getting Started with Matcha Red Bean Cake Alright, so I finally got around to making that matcha red bean cake I’d been thinking about. Had a bit of free time, figured why not give it a go. It’s a combo I really like, that slightly bitter green tea taste with the sweet red bean. Always hits the spot. First thing, I pulled out all the...

Okay, let me tell you about trying out these heart baking molds I got. So, I had these new molds sitting around, the silicone kind, you know? Bright red. And also an older metal one, like a mini cake pan shaped like a heart. I hadn’t used either in a while, especially the new silicone ones. Figured it was time to actually bake something instead...

Okay, so I needed to get some gram flour recently. I’d run out and was planning on making some pakoras over the weekend. You know how it is, you get a craving for something specific. My first thought was just to grab it during my regular grocery run. So, I went down to the big supermarket chain store, the one I usually go to. I...

Alright, let’s talk about my little kitchen adventure today. I woke up really wanting some cinnamon rolls, you know? That warm, sweet, gooey goodness. But here’s the thing: I realized I was completely out of yeast. And honestly, I wasn’t really in the mood for all that waiting around for dough to rise anyway. Plus, I’ve been trying to stick more to gluten-free stuff lately....

So, I got this idea in my head a while back. I was out grilling, you know, doing my usual weekend thing. Had some massive burgers planned, like, seriously big ones for a little get-together. And flipping them? Absolute disaster. One broke apart, fell through the grates. Total mess. That’s when I thought, there’s gotta be a better way. The Hunt Begins I started looking...

Okay, so today I’m gonna share my little adventure with making “ground up flour.” I know, sounds kinda basic, but trust me, it was more involved than I thought! Let’s dive right in. First things first, I started with the grains. I decided to go with a mix of whole wheat berries and some rye berries I had lying around. I measured out roughly two...

Okay, so I decided to give meringue sandwich cookies a shot the other day. Had some egg whites left over from another recipe, didn’t want them to go to waste, you know? Seemed like a good idea at the time. Getting Started First thing, I got all my stuff out. You really gotta make sure your bowl and whisk are super clean, like, zero grease....
