WHAT I EAT FOR BREAKFAST EVERY SINGLE DAY | the untaco-est breakfast taco

I’ve shared this before, and I’ll likely share it again. For several years (with occasional breaks), this has been my breakfast nearly every single morning. It’s very adaptable! Sometimes I’ll sauté red onions in the olive oil before adding the spinach. Sometimes I’ll add beans. If we’re particularly hungry or know it’ll be a while

Sour Candy Layer Cake

I’ve always loved seeing the cool layer cakes that all the amazing bakers across the internet make. On instagram and tiktok and food blogs, it’s my favorite thing to see some cool cake design, and imagine how that cake might taste. But I’ve never made one myself.

Plain daifuku mochi, filled with a black sesame cream cheese filling, and then rolled in ground black sesame seeds to look like soot sprites. I may be baised, but I think they ended up super cute. Despite my hesitations (I

Okonomiyaki Fried Rice

Rice, rice, baby! I have a thing for using okonomiyaki flavors in random places. I’ve done it in maki sushi, inari sushi, deviled eggs… you just can never go wrong! I grew up eating bacon fried rice for special occasions – it’s still a New Year’s morning tradition in my family. Add in a ton

Lava Cakes with Raspberry Sauce
