Sweet Red Bean Paste
When you go asian bakery , chances are you will find items with sweet red beans fillings . Growing up in southeast asia , i found one dessert with beans , but not red beans , so this is all new to me also . I thought red beans are only for main dish , who would have thought it’s also for dessert , esp. it’s very famous in asian bakery . I decided to put my red azuki beans to a good use over the weekend , i thought it’s not going to be hard to make . I soaked the beans overnight . I tried cooking it without…

Strawberry – Rhubarb Crunch w/ Vanilla Ice Cream
I had never tried rhubarb before . From what i heard they go great when cooked with strawberry , and people said it has quite similar taste with strawberry . So it is full spring down south , and i figured it should be easy to find rhubarb , and it should be widely available . So yesterday when i went grocery shopping , my eyes was set to find rhubarb . I found them , those long red stalk , not to be mistaken with swiss chard by the way 🙂 But it happened , when i was about to pay for my grocery , the girl didn’t know…

Texas Brownies
What is Texas Brownies ? I have no clue , all i know is .. that it’s a sheet chocolate cake with chocolate icing . And in my case , it is a really moist cake !! Why do they call it brownies ? They’re not even chewy like most brownies are .. I wonder about that too sometimes . Maybe i should as a true Texan , born and raised and who knows maybe one will be able to give me the answer . The first i made this was years and years ago , from a Taste of Home magazine that my MIL subscribed into . I thought…

Shortbread Cookies
A long time ago i used to make this shortbread cookies during christmas time . I don’t know why but i have skipped so many years without making shortbread cookies . Maybe because it was too dangerous making it .. LOL .. just like butter cookies , where i couldn’t stop munching at them . That’s why once it’s all done being baked , i put them away .. you know the phrase ” Out of sight out of mind .. ” I saw a recipe that has chocolate chip in their shortbread . That’s what i am doing right now actually , i added about 1 cup of semi…

I never heard of sable cookies , until , my sister mentioned it . She gave me her recipe for sable cookies , so i made them yesterday , thinking , this should be good . It is however , a recipe from a pastry chef . She is a pastry chef . But in my mind . i thought .. all the ingredients were about the same with the original butter cookies recipe . The recipe i got from my mother in law . Except , french butter cookies use egg yolks and while my butter cookies used whole eggs . I thought i gave it a try anyway…
