Such a simple idea— bake cream cheese inside bagel dough so that when you bite in, warm cream cheese explodes all over your tastebuds— but so brilliant. What else would I expect from Momofuku? The more I try from their cookbook, the more sad I grow that I didn't choose to go to school in New York, so I could be a stone's throw away from Milk...

Last weekend was a busy one for us. Saturday morning we got up early, packed up the puppy and went on an 8.5 mile hike up to Poo Poo Point in Issaquah. We've been saying we wanted to go hiking before we leave Washington, so we finally got off of our butts and went out. We had great views of Lake Sammamish, and if we had been later in the day...

A week in Texas + a week of no grocery shopping = no recipes to blog about. It also equals several extra pounds of body fat (mostly thanks to the copious amounts of Tex-Mex we consumed while in Austin and San Antonio) we are trying to erase with lots of running and spin classes at the gym. However, as per usual, I was expected to make a dessert...

Momofuku can do no wrong. These cookies are delicious as is to be expected from anything that comes out of their cookbook. The flavor is a bit hard to describe. Kind of like sweet and salty buttered corn on the cob or popcorn with added sugar to turn it into dessert. I know that may sound a little weird, but it really is a flavor explosion in...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We celebrated the holiday a little early by going out Friday night then bringing this deliciously festive dessert to a fondue party on Saturday night. This is another creation from the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook. And I'm not going to lie— after eating there in person, being able to frequent Momofuku in person is a real...

Compost cookies might not sound like an appealing name, but neither were the other options: "garbage cookies" or "kitchen sink cookies." Promise me when I say these cookies are delicious despite the name, with a little bit of everything you can think of in a cookie recipe (minus the kitchen sink). Basically the idea for this cookie started as...

No, there is no crack in this legendary "pie" from Momofuku Milk Bar, but it is so addictive that you can't stop eating it according to many :). It doesn't look like anything special, but it's a rich and gooey treat that has a flavor quite unlike anything you've ever tasted before. The best way to describe it is kind of like pecan pie filling,...

Today is our blog's birthday! One year ago today we started chronicling all of the recipes we try. We've become significantly more adventurous and our cooking skills have greatly improved. A couple of years ago, there was no way I would have ever felt this confident in the kitchen, but with lots of practice and lots of research, I'd like to...
