Dulce de Leche Cupcakes

The delicious dulce de leche cupcakes I made over a year ago. *Also, these dulce de leche cookie bars are easy and sooo good* Thank you for the recipe, Joy the Baker! All I did was use her recipe and add dulce de leche as a filling in the cupcake bases, which you do not have to do at all if you don't want to. They are delicious with or without filling!

 

All ready to go! I love this cupcake carrier!

Spicy Pork Bibimbap @ HRD Coffee Shop - San Francisco

HRD Coffee Shop
Website

521 3rd St.
San Francisco, CA 94107

This is not just a coffee shop. It's a highly rated (see Yelp and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives) Asian fusion place near AT&T Park. This spicy pork bibimbap was SO delicious. I love how it had both Korean and Japanese ingredients (HRD marinated spicy pork, spinach, kimchee, cucumber, fried egg, seasoned sprouts, & pickled daikon).

Under the egg: Brown rice & daikon

Coffee Grounds on Ice Cream!

Lately my favorite thing to do is add coffee grounds to ice cream (chocolate or vanilla so far). I love the flavor and texture of this, and it's a good way to use up older/stale coffee beans you'd prefer not to use for your coffee. Other favorite ice cream toppers: fresh strawberries, peanut butter, mochi, canned pumpkin, coffee, shave ice, jello, cocoa powder, dessert wine, & caramel. You can also use them to deodorize your fridge, fortify your plants, scrub dirty dishes, etc.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Joy the Baker has many great recipes and takes fantastic pictures, so I tried her recipe for flourless peanut butter cookies. Delicious! She's right about them being fragile, so be careful, but these are so good!
