Dalgona Coffee

Dalgona coffee was all the craze during the shelter in place. My lovely coworker got some some nice instant coffee so I can try it out myself. My coworker actually made Dalgona coffee more than 30 years ago!

Spam Musubi

I can't believe I don't have spam musubi in here. I made them quite often before medical school. I even made a spam musubi kit for my bestie for her birthday one year. Due to the pandemic, we have lots of can food - one being SPAM!

St. Louis Style Gooey Butter Cake

Can't believe its been an entire year since I have posted. A lot has happened in a year. The most memorable is the coronavirus pandemic. Surprisingly, this is the first thing I baked since the shelter in place. 

Back in medical school, I discovered the Gooey Butter Cookies and have been baking them since. My really good friend Jennifer sent me a box of the famous St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake mix. My husband and I made it for a party and it was a hit. It was freaking delicious. Recently, during my staycation I bought everything to bake the Gooey Butter Cookies but decided to try something new. This is quite good but a close second to the famous St. Louis Cake. 

Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

Funny thing is that we have never been to Japan but we really enjoy treating ourselves to pancakes for breakfast during the weekend. We also have a kitchen-aid which really helps in making this. It is a bit time consuming but the fluffiness really makes it worth it. 

Buddha's Delight "Jai"

 Growing up this was one of my favorite dishes. It is a dish that is generally eaten on new years day.
