Home Sweet Home

February 22nd, 2010

We moved from a 1060sqft 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment to a 1750sqft 3 bedroom 2 bath home this week. As you could imagine, we are completely ecstatic. For one, there’s a nice roomy kitchen with adequate space for all of the culinary objects I could possibly want to acquire including, of course, the ones I already have.

Buttercream Frosting

February 14th, 2010

STOP! Put the jarred frosting back on the shelf. One thing that you really shouldn’t skimp out on is the frosting. Jarred frosting has a weird taste to it, and it’s super difficult to spread. If you go through the trouble of fixing up the box cake, you’ll undo all of your efforts if you don’t make your own frosting. Thankfully, frosting is pretty easy to make, and you can keep all of the ingredients you need in your pantry at all times just in case the urge strikes.

Please trust me on the ingredients, it makes for a very moist and delicious cake, I promise!

Asian Turkey Sliders

February 13th, 2010

This is one of my more famous recipes. Everyone loves them, and often request for me to make them or want the recipe. I hope you all enjoy them as much as my family and friends do! Obviously, you can make these regular size if you want, but the sliders are perfect for get-together’s. Fresh garlic & ginger works best, but in a pinch feel free to use the dried stuff! I know some of you might be a little skeptical about the ground turkey, but trust me on this one… try it at least once before you opt for beef!

American Classic: Devilled Eggs

February 13th, 2010

Deviled EggsHave you ever made deviled eggs that went horribly wrong? i.e. overly hardboiled eggs where the whites come off in chunks as you shell it and the yolks have a dark casing and are really stiff? Too much or too little of an ingredient? I’ve tried several different recipes over the internet, and none of them are as good as this very easy and simple recipe.
