I had to reshoot my recipe for creamy pasta salad because the photos were truly awful. Now I won’t be wincing every time I notice someone is checking out the post.

I moved and got a new oven and I must say I’ve had the hardest time trying to figure out why I’m now constantly “burning” my orange loaf cake. I can’t quite figure out where the oven hot spots are. Or maybe it’s because of the settings. My cake is less springy and too crusty and I never had this issue using my cheap ass second hand oven before 😢. 

Oh well I’ll figure it out! At least my dog has a garden now!

Controversial opinion ahead but I hate quiches and their wobbly jiggly eggy texture. So I swapped the egg/cream custard for creamy/cheesy bechamel sauce while making a leek tart once and I’ve never looked back. It’s so good! Let’s turn all the quiches into bechamel based tarts.

I've been feeling under the weather lately (tots on me for walking my dog under the rain with the most permeable shoes ever) (several times), so a big batch of Turkish yellow lentil soup was in order!

It’s been raining a lot lately so I've come to terms with the fact that summer has come and passed. I retired my ice cream machine to my tiny storeroom, but not before making one last batch of vanilla ice cream!
