Hi everyone! We are going into the second week of not having a working fridge. After getting rid of whatever was causing that embarrassing stench (I shared this piece of info with my friend while our girls were having a swim playdate, she laughed so hard and called me pathetic, it was pretty awesome), hubby…

Sesame Sweet Rice Balls
Have I mentioned my Mama is an excellent cook? Every other weekend I take little girl to visit my Parents and play with her cousins. As soon as we walk in the house our noses are always filled with yummy smells, now that my Mom has retired, she’s become quite the baker and dessert maker….
We WON! (Tiramisu Cookie Balls)
This post is a bit late, but never the less very exciting! Some of you have been following my status on FaceBook about little girl’s Annual School Carnival, and I mentioned we entered the baking contest (The cookies category). We did win first place when she was in Kindergarten, which came as a HUGE surprise!…
Easy & Slim Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Hi everyone! For my US friends, did you have a good Super Bowl Sunday? Personally I am not a big sports fan, in fact when my husband has sports blaring on TV, I normally get disoriented from the sportscaster’s announcements (why must they yell?) and have a real hard time concentrate on whatever I want…
Giant Coconut Macaroons
Happy Holidays! I wanted to wish each and every single one of my readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Are you done with all the shopping and holiday preparations? I don’t plan on braving the street today much, except to eat at a Brazilian steak house tonight, where the wait staff walk around…
Low Fat Banana Bread
Hi Everyone! Yesterday was Labor Day here in the US, which meant a wonderful long weekend! The most unbelievably thing happened, Houstonians actually enjoyed a relatively mild Sunday and Monday, the highs were in the low 90’s! We took advantage of the weather and got to enjoy sitting outdoors for a while, people watching and…
Watermelon Granita
I don’t know about you, but here at Texas it feels like SUMMER! This is why when I saw The Comfort of Cooking‘s latest post yesterday, a trip to the grocery store was in order! As soon as I picked up little girl after Summer Camp, we made a quick run to the nearest HEB…
Honey Orange Cake Loaf
How was everyone’s weekend? Due to the return of hot and humid weather here at Texas, my family and I did mostly indoor stuff. A lovely brunch then walk the mall for some people watching. On Sunday I took my little girl to the grandparents for play time with 4 little cousins, she always looks…
Taro Tapioca Soup
Little girl and I had a relaxing afternoon, while she played with her little buddies, the Moms hung out while sitting on the lawn (We refer to this as “Grass Date”, pretty much a play date on grass…). Planning ahead, I had put some ribs in the slow cooker since around noon, so the main…
Tres Leches Coconut Macaroons
Been thinking up ideas for this year’s Christmas neighborly gift giving, and macaroons popped into my head. Didn’t realize how simple it is to make such beautiful and delicious pastries (are they considered as a pastry?) Since the original recipe is a bit too simple, I decided to look around for something a little more…
Cinnamon Sugar Pecans
My Mama went to my Uncle’s property to pick pecans, being at Texas and Fall is pecan season, there were abundant to pick from. Being the great Mom that she is, when I received the pecans they were already shelled and ready to eat! I decided to make a salty batch and a sweet batch,…
Red Velvet Cupcakes
So my little girl’s school is having a cupcakes tasting contest, and we’ve decided to enter. Since this has to be a collaboration effort, I didn’t want to pick a difficult recipe. The cupcakes turned out real moist, in fact hubby said it might be a tad TOO Moist, so right now I have them…
