Apple Bread

autumn crisps!

My roomates and I went apple picking a couple weeks ago, and we had so many leftover apples just sitting there! So I decided to make apple bread. I've never had or made apple bread before but these turned out so delicious! They smelled exactly like fall.

bear sweet potato mooncakes

healthy cuteness!

My mom called me and told me not to try making mooncakes as traditional mooncakes are calorie packed and have very high sugar and fat content. She didn’t want me to be eating all the unhealthiness and spend the rest of the day sedentary! Thus, I experimented with these cute buttery pastries and filled them with sweet potatoes! The usual red bean outer filling is substituted with purple sweet potato paste, made with only mashed sweet potato, corn starch, and brown sugar, and the inner “egg yolk” was made with orange sweet potato paste!

hotdog buns

Childhood Classics!!

To be honest, I haven't always liked these buns. Growing up, my brother was a huge hot dog fan while I was more attracted to the sweet, custard buns. Now though, these easy buns give me a sense of nostalgia and also make for a quick lunch!

This gluten-free cheesy chewy is super simple and fun!

Brazilian cheese bread, or pan de queijo, is so simple, versatile, yet so good. You can add whatever cheese, spice, or herb you want, and the batter can be made in large batches and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week!
