Apple Pie Bars

 

Hi. My days in Hanoi are coming to an end, which feels bittersweet. I love Vietnam, Hanoi is an amazing city, and teaching here has been a privilege, but I also miss home terribly. I can’t wait till I see my best friend and spend three days on a Doctor Who marathon with her again (12 more days, woo!).

Plum Crumb Bars

Can you believe we’re already 1/3 through October? Time is running so fast lately, it’s unbelievable. I’m quite busy with work nowadays, which is actually pretty fun – teaching in Vietnam has been an incredible experience.

Blueberry Lemon Shortbread Crumble Bars

Okay, so my life continues to be crazy. The only difference is, I’m starting to really love it. And I’m starting to love Hanoi as well. It took some getting used to, but this city is pretty amazing. And the food. You guys, Vietnamese food tastes so much better in actual Vietnam. Especially Pho and Bun Cha, I’ve been eating a lot of that. I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon.

Coconut Oil Blueberry Cake

It’s a quite busy week for me. My brother is getting married tomorrow, and I’m moving to Vietnam in 5 days. There are a lot of things I still need to take care of before I go, but that didn’t stop me from spending some time in my kitchen.

Orange Chocolate Cake

My best friend stayed with me for a couple of days this week. We spent most of the time watching our favorite shows (Firefly marathon, anyone?), and eating. There was a lot of “I’m hungry, let’s bake something” late in the evening, so our options were limited.

Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Blueberry Cookies

I came up with this recipe when I was left with half a can of condensed milk and no idea what to do with it. I also had some blueberries and chocolate, so I thought hell, let’s bake some cookies.

Simple Strawberry Cake

I’m taking a (very short, unfortunately) break from studying, to post a recipe for this amazing cake. I baked it a couple of days ago, back when I actually had some free time. Can you feel my desperation? 1 exam is behind me, only.. 5 more to go. Oh.

Strawberry cobbler

I found myself in possession of another huge bag of strawberries, so I decided to take a (probably very short) break from chocolate and bake something with fruit.

Chocolate Muffins with Dried Cherries

My love for chocolate is pretty much unconditional.

Brown Butter Raspberry Tarts

I don’t bake many tarts. But when I saw the recipe for these little beauties on one of my favorite blogs, Butter Baking, I knew I had to try it.
