Just recently, I had my first experience with Filipino food. I am sad to say that I have never eaten any “authentic” foods that are Filipino recipes. Our lovely neighbors brought us over a Filipino feast last week and it was so yummy! The husband is from the Philippines and has been cooking his family recipes for years.
This is the ultimate nanaimo bar recipe! The lemon filling gives such a nice fresh flavor to these nanaimo cookie bars.
I recently attended a surprise party for a dear friend who was turning 40. She is a well-loved person, and lots of friends and family members were there to celebrate with her.
When her husband asked each person to bring a food item to share, I immediately thought of these Nanaimo Bars.
That’s because, in the first place, these bars are one of my favorite things EVER. They are an angelic pan of chocolate and coconut no-bake goodness. Straight from heaven, I kid you not. The Canadians totally got this one right.
Coffee is my love language. I spend time with it every morning, and most afternoons…even some evenings. It is a very sweet relationship that I have with coffee. I am just playing, but really and truly I do love some coffee. So I am always trying new ways of enjoying my favorite drink! French Press is my method of choice when it comes to brewing a strong cup of coffee. The pressing creates a smooth but bold flavor, and it eliminates the bitter and acidic aftertaste. I don’t know about you but sometimes I just want to have a cold drink in the afternoon, and iced coffee always hits the spot.
I love peach season! Our grocery stores have had peaches on sale for a couple weeks now so I have been itching to make something with them. Peaches are one of those fruits that can only be enjoyed for a select period of time during the year. I prefer my peaches firm, which I guess most would consider as unripe. For this recipe, you will want to use a softer peach.
This muffin recipe is adapted from my master muffin mix, which uses buttermilk and sour cream to keep the muffins moist for several days after baking. There is a little extra baking powder in this recipe to help the muffins rise nice and tall.
