Holiday dessert...Pumpkin Spiced winter squash vegan cupcakes with a lemon coconut frosting! (Completely Vegan)

I do not bake as much as I used to. Any baking I do now are casseroles. However, when my cousin is back from college, we get together and we bake. Sometimes, we make other things, but mostly we bake. We make myriads of cookies, pies, and, of course, cakes. Everything except muffins. I do not like muffins. Well, there is one muffin I do make, but it does not taste like your regular muffin.  As we grow older, my cousins and I, thankfully still...

Comfort meets portability...Mac 'n' Cheese Bites (a recipe!)

Mac 'n' Cheese a childhood favorite of just about most everyone even someone from an Asian household like me. I'm not a regular lover of cheese, especially as a younger child. Although I would eat Mac 'n Cheese as a child, it was never something I ever requested or went nuts for. Now, even though I have come to appreciate cheese and will eat certain cheeses, I mainly eat Mac 'n' Cheese for nostalgia purposes. However, Mac 'n' Cheese is something...

Preparing for the Feast (...and a recipe One Pot Vegan Pasta)

I would spend hours pouring over not just cookbooks but also the Internet, cooking shows, and any other sources I can get my hands on. So, as I pour over these volumes, I wish I still have that much time to cook and experument. Oh,...

...I'm really back at it

I guess I didn't have the best start. I think I must have started the second post at least five times before I completely forgot about it. However, late is better than not at all right? Well, at least, that's what I am telling myself. Lately, I have been cooking and made some pretty delicious meals, if I do say so myself. Also, my kitchen, although still tiny, had acquired more tools for me to play with. Two items that brought me much excitement...

Going back at it

Hello there people of the interweb! A lifetime ago, I started a blog called Confessions of a Food-a-holic Fat Girl. It cataloged some of my misadventures in my daily cooking life when I was living in Colorado with a lot of time to bake and cook. Then, as life, as it often does, spun out of control, I no longer had time write and update my blog. As life slowly inched forward, I'd still cook, experiment, and all that fun stuff. Through the few...
