Sometimes I think it’s important to keep a simple “quick bread” recipe up your sleeve. You know, for moments when you’re in dire need of something sweet, first thing in the morning. Or just a little something right after dinner. Perhaps, you’re in need of a sweet treat late at time right before bed. Whatever the case might be, whenever the craving hits, you’ll want a quick and easy recipe that requires hardly any work. That’s where this Zucchini Chocolate Chip Streusel Loaf comes into the picture. The zucchini, oil and yogurt makes the moistest cake you’ll ever have. The chocolate chip streusel in the center and the topping takes it over the top, without being too much. It’s like a spring time coffee cake that I think you should always have on hand. You never know when the cravings will hit. You’ll want to be ready with this loaf cake when it does.

I fairly recently tried the magic that is Spam Musubi, which is mind boggling because I grew up loving (and hating) Spam all throughout my childhood. I live in Pasadena and right down the street from me is a small hole-in-the-wall place called Top Restaurant, that serves Thai and Indonesian food. It’s so good! Anyhow, I mention this because when we moved to Pasadena two years ago, we tried this place and I ordered Spam musubi for the first time and it was incredible. If you’re ever in Pasadena, which I highly recommend because it’s a great city in general, then you have to take a tript to Top Restaurant (on Colorado BLVD). It’s one of the best in the city. I highly recommend the 
I have such a profound love of doughnuts that I’m sure I’ve written about it more than I should on this blog, but it’s a love that will never die because I’ll never say no to a doughnut. I’ve always stated that the tried and true traditional fried version will always be 100 times better than the baked variety, and I still hold to that statement. These Strawberry Rhubarb Doughnut Muffins, however, are here to change my mind, and I’d be lying if I said they weren’t doing a good job of convincing me. They’re soft and moist muffins dipped in melted butter, rolled around in cinnamon sugar and filled with a delicious homemade quick strawberry rhubarb jam. They’re a doughnut dream come true and you need to make them ASAP. The jam is from this 
I wanted to take the time to apologize to anyone who tried to access the site over the last couple of days and received an error message. My blog was transitioning into a new server and unfortunately it was down a lot more time than I had originally anticipated. Thankfully, everything migrated over smoothly and it is finally back up and running as normal. Just in time too, as I can now share this Quick and Easy Pizza from this week’s episode of 
I was raised Catholic and so during Lent, we ate a lot of fish on Fridays in my house. To this day, I still have a craving for it, more so, during this particular time of year. 
I feel like dips are one of those universal appetizers that you can’t ever really say no to. Especially if cheese is involved, which most dips do require copious amounts of melted cheese. That’s what makes them so good! I’ve teamed up with my friends over at 
I have an undying love of Shake Shack, which is quite the loaded statement to make considering I’m a native Angeleno and this is home of In-N-Out Burger after all. I still remember the first time I had a Shake Shack burger in New York—and I don’t mean to sound facetious at all when I say this—but my entire burger-eating life changed from that moment on. They are, to me, the most delicious fast food burger out there (my only issue is that they’re very tiny) and I got way too excited when they started opening shacks here in Los Angeles, and even more so now that there is a location opening up right down the street from me in Pasadena. Which is just as dangerous as it is exciting. The recipe for these smash burgers comes from the Shake Shack cookbook, 
These Pineapple Upside-Down Scones are for everyone out there that loves a sweet treat first thing in the morning. Although, this time you actually have a valid excuse to indulge yourself. They’re decadent enough to be made for dessert, of course, but are still quite simple to be served for a brunch or light breakfast. I took the
