21 recipes // stromboli

17 June 2013

Stromboli by Lauren’s latest

Untitled

I had this pinned on my food board for awhile but finally got around to making it. I used my bread machine to make my own pizza dough and followed the recipe for the rest. We’ve had this twice already and it was a pretty simple recipe that everyone loved.

We definitely enjoyed this stromboli recipe.

Chocolate Soufflé

20130219_230539

Something about a soufflé makes it tricky to master that it sometimes even catches some of the most experienced chefs by surprise. But as always, my little sister loves a good challenge. So she googled a soufflé recipe and decided to try this one. In her words, it was a little too simple to capture the full depth of the soufflé.

Not to be outdone by a soufflé, she went back and found another recipe, and decided to try this recipe by Gordon Ramsay instead. With quite a few more steps than the first recipe, this soufflé turned out pretty good. Alas, I don’t think we remembered to get a picture of it because we were too busy savoring all the goodness that is chocolate soufflé (:

I think with many things, practice makes perfect. So I’m pretty sure we’ll be trying this out again to make the perfect chocolate soufflé!

Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt from Recipe Sweet

Untitled

The other day, I was looking for a quick and easy dessert and found this recipe! I’ve never tried making my own frozen yogurt before so this was a first. The taste turned out pretty interesting – not too sweet, and slightly tart from the yogurt. I didn’t exactly love the inevitable raw taste of the yogurt. And somehow, I felt more guilty eating cookie dough than eating chocolate chip cookies. I’m not sure if I’ll make this again. But hey, if you never try you never know.

Adelia Makes no. 002 // peanut butter fudge treats

4 June 2013

I think I got a little behind putting these posts up; but today, I’m back with another installment of the Adelia Makes series!

Peanut Butter Fudge Treats

Armed with this recipe from Joy the Baker, Adelia made these for us. With a layer of rice krispies, a layer of caramel fudge, and another layer of chocolate, it was a treat for sure! The three made the perfect combination of textures and taste.

For her, this recipe was pretty easy, with just a few different portions to complete. While a little dense, it was not bad at all and everyone enjoyed it altogether.

Gotta love when you get to have rice krispies, caramel fudge and chocolate all in one bite!

21 recipes // Nutella cinnamon rolls

4 April 2013

As far as I know, cinnamon rolls are always a hit in this house. So I decided to switch up our regular chocolate chip cinnamon sticky rolls and try some nutella cinnamon rolls instead.

I used our regular dough recipe (that goes into the bread machine) and adapted the recipe filling. These are a lighter version of the cinnamon sticky buns and make a good breakfast or tea time snack. I would probably spread a thicker layer of Nutella next time though.

But nothing tastes or smells better than cinnamon rolls fresh out from the oven. A favorite, for sure.

21 recipes // salted fudge brownies

16 March 2013

Slowly, but surely, I’m catching up on all these overdue posts.

I made these salted fudge brownies at the end of February. I am no bake-expert, but I am quite convinced that the secret to a good fudgy moist brownie is melting the chocolate and mixing it in the batter. Seriously good.

I may have been a little too stingy with the sea salt, but these remind me of another fudgy brownie recipe that I constantly go back to.

Forgive me that mine don’t quite look like the original post but we were in a hurry to start eating so this will have to suffice. And we had ours with roasted almond ice-cream – a really yummy way to end dinner.

You can follow the link and drool over these delicious brownies (:

21 recipes / sweet + savory

9 February 2013

While things have been quiet around here, I’ve been busy in the kitchen. Trying new recipes is still one of my favorite parts of this 21 list (: If you try any of these recipes, let me know how you like them!

I made the first three recipes last month (so overdue, I know), and the cinnamon oat pancakes this morning.

Cajun Chicken Pasta from skinnytaste.com

IMG_4791

This pasta was a huge hit. I think the combination of meat, mushrooms, and vegetables made this really yummy altogether. I substituted spaghetti for linguine. And I didn’t have any Cajun seasoning on hand so I made my own from this recipe mix. I may or may not have left out a couple of the spices but it was still delicious. While there’s plenty of knife skills involved in this one, I’m definitely making it again one of these days.

Although the recipe calls for egg noodles or rice, I went back to good old spaghetti because that’s what everyone in this house likes. Check out the handy PDF print-out at the end for your recipe collection!

Chunky Apple Muffins from MarthaStewart.com

20130120_214441

These are a great pick-me-up when you need breakfast on the go or an afternoon snack. And they were gone before I knew it. Green apples + walnuts in a muffin are pretty much a blue-ribbon combination.

I love having pancakes for breakfast on Saturday mornings. This simple hearty recipe incorporates oats into the batter so you get your dose of healthy! Drizzle some maple syrup and add a couple of banana slices and you have the perfect way to kick-start the weekend (:

21 recipes / first six.

20 December 2012

I’m so behind on blogging all the fun stuff I’ve been doing lately. But hopefully, I’ll get to it soon enough.

First up, here’s SIX new recipes for the 21 list. Last year, I tried 20 new recipes and loved it. So this year, I made 21 recipes a part of the 21 list again.

A couple months back, I made these sloppy joes – so easy and a total hit.

These sandwiches make a pretty good lunch, for sure.

Nutella, for the win. Always.

Nothing like these muffins to get you into fall mood – yummmyyyy.

The creaminess of chocolate and peanut butter with a sprinkling of sea salt are pretty much the perfect combination in this cookie.

I was so worried that this cheesecake would just be a flop. But it turned out to be amazing in the end – so good.

If you’ve been following this blog, you would’ve seen the pictures of the recipes I’ve tried in the last twelve months.

Not all of them have turned out like they should’ve. But I’ve loved the excitement of trying new recipes. And of course, I have to thank all those who *willingly* ate my food experiments, even the not so yummy ones.

This one’s definitely going on the list again (:

the 20 list / start cooking Chinese food. done.

28 August 2012

IMG_3516[1]

This one was on the list because I knew I needed to start cooking Chinese food someday but just needed the motivation to.

While I haven’t cooked as much Chinese as I would’ve liked to, I’ve definitely enjoyed the few dishes I made. And my family has been (I hope) pleasantly surprised, that this girl can actually cook Chinese food haha.

After all, I’m still very much Chinese at heart and this Chinese girl always needs her Chinese food in the end (:

P.S. You just might expect a slight deluge of posts this week as I work through whatever I can of the twenty list with my birthday just around the corner!
