Kim Chee Dip

I was intrigued by this recipe because of its simplicity. Just put kim chee and cream cheese in a blender and you have a dip? I had to try it. It is delicious. I ate it all by myself in two days.

Melting Moments

The recipe author who called this “melting moments” has a knack for poetic AND truthful titles! All I have to say is, what a dreamy cookie. They are a beautiful addition to a holiday cookie spread.

Puto (Filipino Steamed Muffin)

I remember the first time I had puto—a sweet steamed cupcake. I was 7 and it was at a friend’s house. It was soft, sweet, and cute as Hello Kitty!

The batter is a little looser than pancake batter. Do heed the instructions to fill to 1/2 full. I went to 3/4 and they overflowed. (I love the nubbin that formed on the one on the left in the photo.) Enjoy!
