Kurobuta: Bite from Korea

I love supporting local businesses as they help the economy. I recently came across this cute restaurant in my area owned by a local family that served up amazing ramen and comfort Asian food. This treasure was called Kurobuta and located in Carrollton, Texas. You can tell that you have arrived at the restaurant by the Japanese style awning if you have never been here before.

Revisiting Pastry Love

Strawberries are the favorite berry of my dear friend. We will call him B. His poor birthday is in the middle of winter so not often he gets a cake that has his favorite berry.

I found that recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks named Pastry Love.

Revisiting Perfect Finish

Perfect Finish was a cookbook gifted to me by my family, and had many wonderful recipes that satisfied our sweet tooth.
