I have an annual tradition of hosting a Holiday Brunch for my girlfriends. We see each other throughout the year, but it’s quite rare when we can all get together in a small intimate group without our partners. So, once a year I host a Brunch at my place where we drink copious amounts of…
Thin Apple Tart
Rant. I actually wrote this post a week ago, and then something happened to my blogging platform and the blog post got deleted. Unfortunately, Squarespace 6 does not support restore functionality or any kind of recycle bin just yet. I’m really hoping they’ll get it in soon as I don’t want to move to another…

It’s been over two years since my last post and I am eager to start writing and sharing again. What do I start with? Well, first of all, I’d like to introduce…
Pan-Fried Eggplant and Tofu with Garlic Black Bean Sauce
I make eggplant with this sauce quite often. Sometimes I add chopped tomatoes or roughly chopped onions instead of tofu. Sometimes I add a few leaves of parsley or cilantro.

Easy Chocolate Cupcakes
I was a little skeptical trying out this recipe for the first time. I don’t really trust chocolate recipes that do not call for chocolate and I wasn’t sure if cocoa powder would give the cakes that rich chocolate taste. But this recipe rocks! It’s one of the once that make over and over again…
