#173: St Lucia Buns
For this December Delights, I was wanting to highlight some more traditional advent recipes, so with the Feast of St Lucia coming up on the 13th, I thought that it would be fun to make some St Lucia Buns. St Lucia of Siracuse, whose name means “light”, is a Sicilian saint who suffered a martyr’s…

#170: Chinese Hot Dog Bun
For this nostalgic recipe, I actually wanted to highlight one that was popular across social media about 5 years ago. Given the recipe’s simplicity, it’s no wonder that it was a hit back when everyone was locked up in their homes with nothing better to do. 2020 was only a few years ago and not…

#167: Cheesy Spider Muffins
For our last Spooktober recipe for this go around, I wanted to make another savory halloween recipe. I saw that there were a bunch of fun, spooky bread recipes, including one where they used olives to look like spiders on top. And I was considering making this recipe, but I wanted to lean into the…

#156: Calamari
Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat when I get fried seafood. The crunchy exterior with a chewy, but tender center in a ring shape is just the best when made properly. But often when I order this appetizer at a restaurant, it’s usually lacking in some department. So, I typically pass over…

Though, with takoyaki requiring special equipment to make, I was putting it off. But with us being a bit adventurous this month,…

#136: Sourdough Bread
Originally, I was planning on making this recipe a lot sooner, as you could see in the background of some of my videos in November, but my starter was being pretty temperamental at the time due to the cold, so I decided to let it develop some more and make the recipe later. Initially, I…

#130: Eggless Chocolate Lava Cake
For our recipe for this week, I wanted to try to make something that would be a great dessert to have for February birthdays or for Valentine’s Day. I wanted to make something that felt luxurious, but wasn’t going to break the bank, and so, the chocolate lava cake seemed like the perfect choice! With…

#121: Pfeffernüsse (Peppernut Cookies)
Pfeffernüsse, meaning Peppernuts in German, are small spice cookies originating from Germany that are typically enjoyed during the Christmas season. The name comes, not from it containing nuts, but rather from the addition of ground pepper in the dough, giving it its distinctive peppery-spiced taste, along with each cookie being about the size of a…

Vanillekipferl, or Vanilla Crescent Cookies, are central european vanilla shortbread cookies that are traditionally made during the Christmas season. The origins of this sweet treat comes from Vienna, Austria to celebrate the Holy League’s victory over the Ottoman Empire in 1683 at the battle of Vienna, hence the Turkish crescent moon shape of this pastry.…
