I’m not vegan, but a guest is, so I decided to try my hand at vegan pumpkin scones. Basically, I just omitted the eggs from this recipe (which is based on this recipe) and substituted water for the milk. I thought I might need to add extra oil or water to make up for the…

German apple cake
This recipe came from a family friend. Ironically, it’s a German recipe via a Japanese-American family. You’d think maybe it could have come from my own German heritage instead of so circuitously. 😉 Anyway, I’m glad it made its way to our family because it is amazingly delicious. Peeling and slicing the apples takes some…
Maple syrup scones two ways
I meant to post this recipe several months ago, but I guess that it’s better late than never, right? 😉 In my quest to eat more maple syrup, I decided that maple syrup scones sounded pretty good. After some help from Google, I decided on this recipe from 101 Cookbooks and made a few modifications….

The problem is, all the recipes call for 1/2 cup pumpkin, or 2/3 cup pumpkin or something like that. Pumpkin puree comes in 15-oz cans, which is about 2 cups. Freezing the leftover pumpkin or putting it…

Thankful for the fragrance of German Apple Cake baking in the oven, so wonderful both to smell and to eat!
Portuguese Greens Soup (Caldo verde)
Just like with the carrot soup recipe, every time I make this I wonder how something so simple can be SO delicious. I was skeptical the first time I made it because it the ingredients themselves don’t sound that fantastic to me, but all together, they make a hearty soup that is very tasty. This…
Thankful
Today I’m thankful for my brothers: for their faith for humoring me and playing games games I think are cool even if they don’t really like them for their sense of humor for their music for all the times we’ve gotten to hang out together for making me laugh and laughing with me for their…
Chicken curry in the crockpot
A few weeks ago I hosted a dinner and my contribution was a batch of curry. It needed to be something that could cook while I was out of the house, so I trolled through recipes online and combined several of them to come up with this. (I can’t remember the actual sites I went…
