I’m not a big sweets person and I rarely ever crave anything of the dessert variety but for some reason, I’ve been wanting to sink my teeth into a big slice of cake lately. However, I knew that if I made an entire cake, there would be no way we would be able to eat […]
Chinese treats
Chinese tea eggs
School’s up and starting again and that means I’m going to have less time for blogging and baking ): I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve had the time to do some real baking but a cooking recipe is as good as any! This week I’d like to introduce you all to something […]
Coconut-lime chicken strips
Lil’ bun is finally back and after a long 6 weeks of going without more Western cuisine, she was having an inkling for chicken strips/chicken tenders!

Mother deer decided to buy scallops on a whim and as a result we had the delicious opportunity to have scallops for dinner. I figured that I haven’t done a whole lot of savory recipes on this blog so I decided to document the Steamed garlic scallops recipe to share with you. Lil’ bun loves […]
