Whew, it’s been forever since I last posted something. I thought I would have more time in the summer to blog since school was out but it didn’t turn out that way. We were all too busy cramming as much “outside” time as possible into our long summer days. :) This summer has been unusually […]

New York Cheesecake
I’ve been searching for the perfect New York-style cheesecake for a while now. This one from America’s Test Kitchen Family Baking Book (which I made a couple months ago) scores pretty high with its dense yet fluffy texture and beautiful color. Best of all, I like its baking technique of not having to use a […]
Food Pictures from Visiting Family in Toronto
We went to Toronto to visit my sister and her family almost a couple of months ago now. My mom was there, visiting as well (all the way from Malaysia) – so we had a nice little reunion. We were in Toronto for only a couple of days and the main activity (it felt like) […]
Homemade Pizza
We also made pizza the same day we made the pandan cupcakes. Since Alex doesn’t eat pizza, he was simply excited about making them. For Keith and me however, it felt like a long, torturous wait till the moment we could sink our teeth into those beautiful, mouth-watering pies. It didn’t help that Keith and […]
Whole Grain Pandan Butter Cupcakes
Last Sunday was a baking day as well, although I was still feeling tired from lack of sleep two nights in a row now. However, I did promise Alex that we would bake together that day. Alex just loves to bake. He has yet to try his hands on cooking (maybe when he’s a little […]
Raisin and Cranberry Scones
I woke up early Saturday morning while it was still dark out. After tossing around in bed for who knows how long without any success in falling back to sleep, I finally gave up and decided to surprise hubby with fresh-baked scones instead. I had been thinking about making scones for a while now anyway […]
Visiting Family in Toronto
We visited my sister and her family in Toronto about a couple of months ago, and we got to see my niece (who is such a cutie) for the very first time. Alex wasn’t very sure on how to interact with her, since he has not really been around babies (being an only child himself). […]
Eastern Redbud
Below are a few pictures of one of my favorite trees – the Eastern Redbud in our front yard. I saw the Redbud tree for the very first time years ago in a local park. It was spring and the flowering Redbud, with its clusters of light to dark magenta pink blossoms caught my eyes […]
Spending the Morning in the Park
These pictures were taken sometime late April at one of our favorite parks. I remember it was a beautiful, cool, sunny morning. The trees were not providing much shade yet as the leaves were still fairly small but that was fine by us…all the better to soak up the warm, spring sun. :)
