(Just a few) Black Sesame Monster Cookies

Like I said a few posts ago, I’m in black sesame mode for a few bakes here, to use up some of my black sesame butter. My sister made some delicious monster cookie bars the other day, so when I was thinking of ways to use up the black sesame butter, monster cookies were top…

Butternut Squash Sausage Soup

My sister discovered this soup recipe a few years ago, and made it for my family. It became an instant keeper, and entered into our rotation. (It’s kind of a perfect soup. I know, a bold claim to make. But trust me.) I’ve made it a lot since then, and I’ve considered posting about it….

Black Sesame Banana Bread

Last week was all about apple butter, this week is all about black sesame butter. Because I realized I still have some in my pantry from a while ago, and I should use it up. So I threw together this black sesame banana bread and used up 1/4 cup of it! The banana isn’t too…

Butternut Squash Boursin Pasta

Back when I had Instagram on my phone, I had a habit of saving recipes on Reels that I would always inevitably ignore. (Notice the not-so-subtle virtue signaling about being off social media, thank you.) But apparently sometimes I would like a recipe enough to actually copy the link and email it to myself. Which…

Apple Butter Cheesecake Crumble Bars

Apple butter is going to be the name of the game here for a few posts. I hope you’re all okay with that. It’s an obsession of mine and I’ve been feeling inspired to use it in a few ways. For this recipe, I was thinking it might pair well with some of the miso…

The Best Grilled Cheese (Apple Butter Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese)

“The best grilled cheese?!” you say. I can hear you now. “The BEST? Are you SURE?” There you go again. “Are you really so bold as to make that claim?” Okay, quiet! Yes, it’s a bold claim. Maybe an impossible claim to make. There really are so many ways to level up a grilled cheese….

Sweet Potato Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and Miso Caramel Drizzle

My niece has been on a word-learning tear recently. It seems like she’s got new words every time I see her. Which is crazy to witness! It’s probably a word or two a day! I haven’t learned a word or two a day since… I read Catch-22 two months ago. But before that, it was…

Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Miso Buttercream

I made some of these accidental Oreos a few months ago, I knew I wanted to keep the recipe in my back pocket. Sandwich cookies so rarely work – in texture and squish-ability. So, now that I’ve found one that works, I’m going to keep it! They also just taste great. So I decided to…

Cauliflower Chowder

I am always on the lookout for a good soup recipe. My family has some classics – ranging from a tomato soup we learned to make in Tuscany when I was 7 to a sausage soup my sister found randomly on the internet three years ago. And we usually return to those classics, because… they…
