Mini Panda Cupcakes


I saw these adorable mini cupcake pandas on my favorite sweets baker – Bakerella’s – website and knew I had to make them! After all, pandas and Asia tend to go hand in hand. And didn’t they turn out so cute!
Beni-imo Wedges


Tonight Brandon grilled us steak and I was in charge of the potato – the beni-imo (Okinawa purple sweet potato) to be specific. We both really like sweet potato fries, so I decided to try making beni-imo wedges. While in Okinawa, consume as much beni-imo as possible, right?
Tropical Dinner


The other night Brandon and I took the rare opportunity to cook dinner together. We went with a tropical theme (to make the most of us living on a sub-tropical island and all) and tried out my mama’s new Tropical Chicken recipe and a Brazilian Lemonade recipe I found online.
Baking spirits bright!


(Pin-turned-ornament from my Mama last year)
Last night, as I was using plastic tweezers to "string" candy bulbs on my Christmas tree sugar cookies, I briefly wondered if I was crazy. <pause> Then I decided, that if I was an elf, I'd definitely be a baking elf - despite the fire risks associated with cooking inside a tree. :)
