Homemade Poptarts
A few days ago I saw a homemade poptart pin on Pinterest and I had to make some. That particular recipe called for one cup of butter. My image of poptarts is junk food that you eat once in a while for fun. I probably haven’t had one since I moved to Japan and I hadn’t given them a … Read more
Cornmeal Waffles
I bought my first waffle iron about a month ago and I have made a copious amout of waffles since then. I first tried these oatmeal waffles but they just tasted like oatmeal – same texture and all.

Omlette for Breakfast
This is the first time in a while I made something that required me going out to buy every ingredient (except spices). I added thyme to the omlette for the first time, fabulous. In the omlette: mushroom, green pepper, tomato, cheese, basil, oregano and thyme.

I used a cold precooked sweet potato from the fridge but a freshly cooked one would be fluffier.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Oatmeal
I found out about the existence of Mexican hot chocolate a few days ago and decided I needed to apply the same principle to oatmeal. I’m not a big fan of creamy so I decided to use cocoa powder. If I were a creamy person I would use real chocolate instead. Mexican Hot Chocolate Oatmeal … Read more
Banana Cranberry Bread
My apologies for the poor picture quality. My computer will not acknowledge the existence of my camera memory card so this is an iPhone picture. I made this yesterday for the first time in over a year. Whenever I crave banana bread I have hard bananas. I tried making banana bread with hard bananas once … Read more
