Spooky Vegan Mochi Brownies

Unpopular opinion: I love Halloween. Usually, Ber months in the Philippines is automatically associated with Christmas while Halloween is completely overshadowed. But, I think Halloween deserves its own spotlight. There’s something about dressing up in costume and getting free candy that appeals to my inner child. (mostly the free candy though) This recipe is a […]

Flourless Chocolate Black Pepper Cake

This Flourless Chocolate Black Pepper Cake is the perfect fancy dessert for special occasions or if you are in dire need of a chocolate fix.

Champagne Tossed Pear Salad with Chevre

You might be wondering, “this sounds extra fancy, Cara”. Really? Greens tossed in champagne? But hear me out. First and foremost, there was extra champagne lying about in the fridge from New Years (bubbles ultimately spent by now) and greatly wanted to be used up. Second, that the subtle citrus and fruity flavor from champagne […]
