Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
Piped shortbread cookies are my family’s all-time-favourite but they are a nightmare for me to make. Women’s wrists (or is it just mine???) are simply not strong enough for the piping job, especially during the winter. In my experience, at cool room temperature, the cookie dough is usually too firm for piping. My wrists would... Continue Reading →
Here’s another sugar-free muffins recipe that I came up with recently after making my Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Muffins. I used sugar-free chocolate chips as well as two types of Lakanto sweeteners for this recipe. I wanted to reduce refined sugar intake so I used a mixture of brown sugar and Lakanto last time. This...

My chocolate... Continue Reading →
I bought a bottle of Baileys and Kahlua at the airport duty free shop when I travelled back home from Los Angeles during Christmas time. Unless I accidentally spill them, the two big 1L-bottles would probably last forever as I seldom drink. I gotta think of more ways to incorporate them into my dessert! I... Continue Reading →

I am excited to share with you my new insight for baking a fool-proof cheesecake today! In order to prevent the cheesecake from cracking, I used to bake mine in water bath at a low temperature for a lengthy period of time.

I made these individual desserts for my family over the weekend. The flower pots, the topsoil and the plants were all edible! I was trying to let my daughter helped me with the unmolding but she broke one of the pots as she squeezed too hard. I asked her to do the planting instead. Poor... Continue Reading →
