In this edition of The Heart Wants What the Heart Wants, Girl Scouts cookies shipped all the way from Ohio. After all costs, each box costs approximately $27. Now the age old debate: ration them to last or stuff them all in my mouth as fast as humanly possible...

2 boxes of Thin Mints, 2 boxes of samoas, and 2 boxes of exploremores

When you want both a sweet potato pie and a pecan pie but can only have 1 pie and refuse to choose. It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas... 🍽️ #bake

Sweet potato pie topped with pecans cooling on a wire rack.

Geen dieet voor mijne jarige! It's a little informal (as Mary Berry would euphemistically say), but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out given that I don't often bake cakes. And it tastes divine. #cooking 🍽️

A two layered chocolate cake on a white plate. The sides are bare with whipped cream in the middle and on top covered in colorful sugar sprinkles.

One step closer to getting our new allotment ready for winter! Weedwacker/mower coming today, Dutch clover seeds (which has white flower instead of the purple we had in Ohio) coming in tomorrow. Rain not coming until Saturday! Growing things is next level touching grass. I highly recommend it.

Mooncakes! Egg wash up front and multiple times is the way to go (on left). Lye water + golden syrup is so much easier to work with than honey dough. The press molds are so much fun--like Playdoh but you're supposed to eat it. Waiting 2 days to eat then is the hardest part. #cooking 🍽️

Two shiny, golden, square pastries with lattice work on top and scalloped edges around the sides on a white plate with a third one looking a little more aspirational but will be just as tasty.

It's Dragon Boat Festival--time to make zongzi (or doong as it was called in my Toisan home growing up). These contain seasoned pork belly, Chinese sausage, peanuts, chestnut, mung bean lentils, and shiitake mushroom. Thank goodness for pressure cookers. #cooking 🍽️

Happy Easter, everyone. Did you know Bonne Maman's glass creme brulee cups are the perfect size for individual pineapple upside down cakes? Also true for fruit cobbler and jellies 🍽️#cooking

Two circular pineapple upside down cakes on white plates with teaspoons next to two cups of coffee in jade colored mugs.

I don't bake cakes often, but this one turned out perfect and was dead simple to make. @claudiopozas.bsky.social --what do you think? Would Paula have a slice?🍽️ #food Recipe: www.beryl.nyc/index.php/20...

Two small blue plates, each with a slice of cake and a fork. The orange sponge is light and airy and enrobed with dark chocolate topped with chocolate sprinkles.

For all the people who, for whatever reason, cannot go home for the holidays. Yuan soup is a rich savory broth with lots of meat and veg and chewy glutinous rice dumplings. My Toisan grandmother made it every winter when I was a kid and it's about as close to a hug in a bowl as you can get. #food 🍽️

A pale blue bowl filled with a clear broth soup containing pieces of chicken, red Chinese sausage, carrots, napa cabbage, king mushrooms, snow peas, and kolrabi. Fluffy glutinous rice dumplings are floating in the broth and one is presented in a red Chinese soup spoon.

Went savory for this weekend's bake. Tomorrow's Lazy Sunday is going to start with bagels and schmear.🍽️ What are y'all cooking to make the kitchen warm and smell nice?

Cooling on a rack on a jade green plate are three golden brown bagels and one glorified roll whose hole closed up during baking. To the side is a smaller pale blue plate with a partially eaten bagel that has been sliced, slathered in cream cheese and topped with everything bagel mix.

Lowkey Thanksgiving as US election sunk in, but after a week of good international news, I have found more to be thankful for and baked accordingly. For all the Southerns who escaped the south but miss the food, I give you pecan pie. Hot takes? It's better with less sugar filling 1/

Rustic pecan pie with homemade pie crust and 8 equidistant half-pecans on top.

This week's edition of Lazy Sunday morning breakfast: Ube cinnamon rolls. Made a batch yesterday, ate some warm for tea and dessert and finished them off this morning. Check comments for reflection on baking with ube for the first time.🍽️

What do you do if you get your hands on Spam at your toko? Kimchi fried rice. Tastes great vegetarian, but with Spam? Heaven! 🍽️

In today's edition of "Say you're Chinese without saying 'I'm Chinese'" Came with my free Black Friday tote from my fav toko--first scroll wall calendar since we landed in the Netherlands. Go Tijn's! <3

I'm not saying pie cures existential dread, but it doesn't hurt. Cheese, onion and potato pie, recipe in the comments.🍽️

3/4 of a double crust pie with a creamy orange cheesy potato filling with the missing 1/4 placed beside it on a white plate

My #sourdough! Started the starter in 2020 and it's still going. I love when stars align and I get a nice tall loaf with good structure that hulks out of the cut. That'll do, pig. That'll do. 🍽️

When the Netherlands gives you wintry weather and a ridiculously expensive can of Libby's right before Thanksgiving, you make pumpkin conchas with the left over pumpkin that isn't going into the pie. 20 min to cool and counting... 🍽️ Recipe in comments
