New Things for New Beginnings!

Potrait

Hello friends!

I’m currently in the process of making the move from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, so bear with me as I noobishly navigate my way into a new world of food blogging! You may need to resubscribe to my blog (I’m going to install MailChimp as my email subscription so please resubscribe if you don’t hear from me in a week or so.) Also subscribe to my facebook and twitter for updates =) I have an instagram too but I’m not sure how you subscribe/link to that. My username is _lisamai =)

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope it’ll only get better from here!

In the meantime, here are some new pictures of me thanks to a good friend of mine and her fantastic skills with her camera!

I’ll keep you posted, and a big thank you for reading! I feel honoured that you take the time to read my ridiculous posts and even remake the food I blog about! It makes me feel so special =)

Banana Chocolate Cupcakes with Banana Cream Cheese Icing

8 December, 2012 4 Comments

For those still in the academic style de vie, it’s exam season! Or final paper season. Most of my friends are still in school, so I’m sending happy vibes of hope and optimism because exam season always looks bleak and terrifying in the beginning. I know the feeling. I finished one out of my two final papers for the semester, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I’ll do what I do best and distract you from the end of year/semester stress and titillate your visual senses with these amazing cupcakes. I had some leftover bananas and I wanted to find a new recipe to use up three overripe bananas, and I think I found one! This ain’t some plain jane banana bread, these banana cupcakes are light, fluffy, and dreaaaamy.

Funnel Cakes with Vanilla Ice Cream

14 November, 2011 Leave a Comment

DOUBLE POST! So this past week has been the best week ever. I had a steady flow of work instead of having four things due all at once (this coming week, however, not so much). I went on a little macaron spree. I baked orange macarons with chocolate buttercream, then green macarons with mint chocolate buttercream. It was delicious. But they failed a little bit so I’ll be posting a Macarons 2.0 post soon to divulge on that little adventure. But more on funnel cakes. And ice cream. OMG. So delicious. Yeah I went a little baking crazy this week =P

Super Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

17 May, 2011 2 Comments

The laundry machines in my building are CRAP and are super expensive, so this past weekend I ventured out to the laundromat to do my laundry. While I was waiting, I went to the Bridgehead and I discovered the most delicious hazelnut latte I have ever experienced. And I really wanted a peanut butter cookie, and I also discovered the softest, chewiest, not too rich peanut butter cookie. I was very satisfied with my coffee shop indulgences that day. Anyway, today is Monday and I want another cookie. So I made a crapton of them. YUM. (Yes friends, I’ll be bringing them to work. I hope nobody dies of anaphylaxis.)

Fail: Zucchini and Mushroom Barfola Sauce

28 March, 2011 1 Comment

I tried to do this one without a recipe. Evidently that failed. The vegetables tasted good, and I had spaghettini smothered in parmesan cheese to make up for the lack of flavour. But this was an epic fail. I like to call it Barfola sauce cause it looks like barf. I’ll be eating this for lunch for the next two days though ahhaha.
