If you are a fan of The Original Tommy's World Famous Hamburgers, these Chili Cheeseburgers will definitely hit the spot.
I first got introduced to Tommy's, and the "Tommy Burger," when I was in college in Los Angeles. After late nights of studying for midterms or finals, someone would suggest making a "Tommy run," and we'd all hop in the car and head over to Beverly and Rampart, not the best part of town, even then.
These vanilla bean sablés are the French version of shortbread cookies. They are simple, with just a few ingredients, but they are a revelation.
See those tiny dots? They are vanilla seeds scraped from soft and plump vanilla beans. It's a simple ingredient, but it brings so much flavor to the cookie. You won't be able to have just one cookie.

These sourdough Hawaiian-style rolls are soft and fluffy. They will remind you of the soft and tasty rolls sold in grocery stores, but with a little sourdough tang.
You can use Hawaiian-style rolls in so many ways. They are great for all kinds of sliders, sandwiches, and breakfast buns.

They also make the most excellent dinner rolls.
These graveyard brownies are super fun to make and even more fun to serve. Share them for a kids' party, your book club, or even after dinner with friends.

These Black and Orange Cookies are a Halloween take on the famous Black and White cookies sold in New York City bakeries.
The cookies are soft and "cake-like," and are iced on one half with chocolate icing and on the other half with vanilla icing. They are sometimes called half-and-half cookies or half moon cookies. They are traditionally black and white, but to celebrate Halloween, you can make them black and orange.
These Pork and Chinese Chive Steamed Buns represent a cross between two of my favorite hobbies, bread baking and wok cooking.
These pork-filled buns are made with a yeasted dough, the same dough that you would make bao buns, but shaped like a dumpling or pan-fried bun. This is the type of dough that might be used in array of dishes for dim sum.
Ube pandesal is a bright purple and uniquely flavored variation of the classic Filipino breakfast and snack roll, the pandesal.
This ube pandesal, a tasty roll flavored with purple yam, has a sweet, faintly nutty, vanilla-ish flavor. It is a newer twist on the popular Filipino breakfast treat. I made it three ways, plain, filled with ube jam (halaya), and filled with cheese. It is so good!
