Peanut Butter Chip Blondies

March 09, 2018 / Erica Hom

I've realized that moving feels a lot like taking apart your life piece by piece in order to put it back together somewhere else. You quit your job, pack up your things and divide your life into digestible nuggets that are transportable. I just worry whether or not I’ll feel whole again. You chip away at the things that make you who you are in this life in order to start a new one. Watching myself take down our family photos from our walls seemed surreal. Leaving the home that I loved so much is hard. It’s our little piece of NYC, and I'm going to miss it. I know that it's all for the better, but I can't help getting sentimental at these things. These are the weird thoughts that keep me up at night. I think I think too much...from Instagram photos to recipe ideas and now what pieces of my house will fit in what boxes, this new life is consuming me and it’s only been 4 days! But as I chip away at my life here in NYC, I wanted to share with you this recipe for Peanut Butter "Chip" Blondies. Don't you just love food segues!?

Salted Butter Coconut Mochi

hat's sweet, buttery, and chewy!? Uhhh....Salted Butter Coconut Mochi.... Of Course! I can't even tell you how easy these are to make! And they come out so golden brown and perfect, it's hard to resist! I gotta say lately, I've been dealing a couple of baking fails and I needed some rebound recipes. A couple of no fail recipes that can put the pep in my step and the bounce back in my baking. And this is it! The idea came from the traditional hawaiian dessert/snack, butter mochi. Which in and of itself sounds amazing. A chewy butter cake!? Uh, yes. But then I remembered one of my favorite traditional Chinese dessert soup dumplings, which are boiled mochi balls filled with sweetened coconut and peanuts. So I thought, why not put these two mochi desserts together!? And can I tell you, when we brought these to a family party, they yelled at me for not bringing more!

Meringue Topped Brownies

January 10, 2018 / Erica Hom

Ok, I know it's the New Year and we're all probably making resolutions to eat healthier, and exercise more...probably. Well there are still going to be moments when you need that chocolate fix. And this Meringue Topped Brownie is going to fix, that fix! Just imagine a fluffy chocolate marshmallow onto of a rich, gooey brownie. Yes. I know. It's decadent, but one small square will satisfy your chocolate craving and then you can get back on track with whatever paleo, grain, acai, keto bowl you were trying to eat.
