  • biscotti

    Russ made these biscotti for us for our OSGN advent a few years ago, and they were better than any other biscotti I’ve eaten before. Granted, all I had before these were rock-hard Nonna from Costco. These are a whole different experience – dry but with a satisfying texture. Super easy to make, and one… Read more

  • favorite pasta dough

    favorite pasta dough

    After many tasty tests, we’ve decided that this is our go-to pasta dough recipe. We resisted using extra egg yolks for so long, but alas, the difference it makes has convinced us. Scale up as needed. 1 c flour makes enough filled pasta for two people without leftovers, so I suggest making 1c per person… Read more

  • dahlia bakery molasses cookies

    I’ve made these cookies countless time and made a few adjustments each time to get from the cookbook recipe to here. Straight from the cookbook, cookies were too flat and didn’t have enough chew. I’ve added more flour and baking soda, plus coated the cookie in a sugar crust for that extra crunch. You can… Read more

  • banana bread

    banana bread

    I wanted this post to be prettier so I could really let the glory of my new mini loaf pan to sing, but alas, I haven’t used my digital camera in months, and I really need to start documenting my recipes again. Searching through my browsing history just isn’t cutting it anymore. But. Whatever. I… Read more

  • real pumpkin pie

    I got my hands on some pumpkins much too early for a traditional Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, but… whatever! Let’s do it anyway! Also I forgot to take process pictures because I’m an amateur blogger now 😦 Oh well. Cut pumpkin(s) in half, remove seeds, and roast flat-side-down for about 20 minutes in a 400 deg… Read more

  • lemon poppyseed muffins

    This recipe was too bready for my liking. Would like them more crumbly! Will try another recipe next time. Read more

  • costco double chocolate cake copycat

    I had a Costco double chocolate chip muffin last weekend for the first time in multiple years, and it was so nostalgic that I needed more. But not 12 more. I tried to search on Google for a copycat recipe, but they all started from box cake and instant putting, which is just too much… Read more

  • moistest white cake

    moistest white cake

    Ok, this is a work in progress. But I guess I figured something to prove I’m alive is better than continuing the lack of posts :'(. SO. My number one recipe for the moistest chocolate cake ever is great, and I’ve made that cake more times than I can count. But it’s chocolate! And even… Read more

  • basic doughs (tested!)

    Dumpling wrapper dough (hot water style) 2 c all purpose flour 3/4 c boiling hot water Add hot water slowly to the flour while mixing. Knead until smooth and elastic (takes awhile). Place in a ziploc bag to maintain warmth/moisture and rest for at least 20 minutes before forming. (Also used for green onion pancakes)… Read more

  • egg tarts

    egg tarts

    Chinese egg tarts! This is now my go-to recipe for using up spare egg yolks. It’s a quick and simple recipe, the base recipe uses 8 egg yolks for the custard, which means plenty of whites for meringues and frostings and all kinds of tasty other things. We’ve made this twice now, both very successful.… Read more
