Mango Cake
I got a box of huge, perfectly ripe mangoes, and after gobbling a bunch down and using a couple to make mango lassi, I still had one left. While I’m on Team Pie, I had some friends coming over who are on Team Cake (there’s just no accounting for taste). So I decided to use…
Buta No Shogayaki (pork with ginger and onions)
Cookbook Club – Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking Our cookbook in May was Iron Chef Morimoto’s Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking. See all the Japanese cuisine we cooked at home on my Cookbook Club site. For now – my dish! Pork with ginger and onions sounded so good to me, and…
Fried Mac N Cheese Bites
When I home-make mac n cheese, it’s always a big pot that makes for lots of yummy leftovers. Inspired by my success with using leftover risotto to make arancini, I decided a similar thing could be done to make fried mac n cheese bites. I had made such a big pot of mac n cheese…
Arancini

Mango Cornflake Granola
Granola is delicious, and as it turns out, very easy to make at home. I’ve added cornflakes to my Guessipe to give it some nice crunch. For the fruit, I used dried mangoes because I adore them, but you can use whatever dried fruit floats your boat. I also like dried cranberries, and sometimes go…
Amaretto Coffee Cupcakes
I know that cupcakes have been all the rage lately, but I have to admit I haven’t been swept up by the craze. I just can’t get super excited about paying $6 for a single cupcake at some shop dedicated solely to the art of the cupcake. With $6 worth of ingredients, I could make…
