When I saw this recipe from The Cheesecake Factory that combines my 2 favorite desserts, carrot cake and cheesecake, I knew I had to give it a try. When finished I definitely thought my little masterpiece was yummy enough to be featured in the fanciest of restaurants, and that pineapple frosting is going to be a […]
Remember last week when I posted the Recipe for Delicious (and easy) Potstickers that I learned in my healthy Asian cooking class? Well this week I have the perfect dumpling soup that you can make using any of your uncooked potstickers (or the batch you froze for later). Potstickers and dumplings both use the same […]
Yesterday was our last day visiting family so to end the week off on a fun note, my mom and I went to a healthy cooking class led by a wonderful and extremely healthy Korean couple, the Kims. My mom and sister have been attending this class for a few months now and have learned […]

(I still dream of those fluffy little delectables). Well recently Pavillon Ledoyen contacted me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing their […]
One of my guilty pleasures in life is lounging on the couch with a bag of “Flipz” pretzels and a RomCom movie. My sister introduced me to this recipe a couple years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. I don’t know if you can really call it a recipe since it only requires 2 […]
