Black Bottom Cupcakes.
Edible. Just edible.
(Update: THEY TASTE WAY BETTER THE NEXT DAY! But I don’t think I’ll make this again any time soon.)
I never imagined in my life I’d say NO to cream cheese, but in this case: a big NO to cream cheese! The topping tasted awful and was just too gooey. Not too awful the next day, till cheesy, but good.

The cake recipe was...
Sour Cream Chicken Cutlets w/ Grilled Onions!
I had this sour cream, which expires tomorrow, and I HAD to make something with it this evening. So, ahem, I tweeted: “I have 2 cups of sour cream that are expiring tomorrow!! Someone give me a good recipe.. NOW!” and I got some nice responses to that.
Thanks to a twitterer who linked me a list of recipes, I’ve managed to pick a recipe that worked for me. But, to be honest, I...
Walnut Coffee Cake!
I cannot stop talking about this fabulous coffee cake! I don’t know if it’s because I’m in love with all of it’s ingredients (walnuts, cinnamon, sugar..etc), or because it actually IS awesome! It was a modified recipe taken from the cookbook: Cooking With Friends. It doesn’t look so tempting (of course, it’s a coffee cake. It is supposed to look plain and...
Almost a cheesecake.
I have this great recipe for something that looks like a cheesecake, but actually isn’t. It has a crunchy base, vanilla taste, and coffee/caramel topping. What more could you ask for?
Ingredients:

- 1 stick butter (room temperature).
Second layer:
- 2 cups...
Butter Chicken With Naan Bread.
At last! I’ve made one of my favorite dinner dishes of all time. Butter chicken! It tasted pretty good.. (slightly more sour than I expected but thankfully I just LOVE sour). My sister loved it, and so did I! I’d definitely be making this again.
(before adding in the butter chicken sauce)
We had it with Naan bread, of course!
And another yummy thing in our home today, is my...
Lazy Friday Morning Waffles.
I’ve been craving waffles for months now, finally got the maker! It wasn’t so great (shape-wise), but I guess you get what you pay for, bought it with 45 SR ($12). Carrefour didn’t have any other waffle maker available so I had to buy this one. I’ll go waffle-maker hunting in the upcoming week!
As for the waffle recipe, I’ve tried a waffle recipe which tasted...
Intro.
I have always loved cooking, baking, and pretty much creating anything. I love trying out new recipes, and keeping the ones I like! (And sometimes, warning people of the ones I DON’T like. Like that lemon meringue pie recipe, yikes. Story might follow later!)
So I decided to create this tumblelog to share my successes and failures in the kitchen. Not sure if I should post the previous...
