Vegan Blueberry Cinnamon Scone (Better than Coffee Shop)
Alright, be honest! Do you enjoy scones or hate them? Personally, I love scones. There is, without any doubt, a better way to enjoy a cup of coffee with a great-tasting-flaky scone. While I do enjoy these flaky, buttery goodness, there’s often one issue I cannot stand. Scones can be awfully dry –…
Vegan Egg Fried Rice
Fried rice, like in many Asian-Pacific Islander household, is a staple. I, along with many others like me, grew up with rice, eggs, frozen veggies, and soy sauce as a meal. Now, I see it as a total comfort easy-lazy one pot dish. But back then, it wasn’t always that way. One, my…

Vegan Corn Chowder (Coconut Corn Soup)
I just want to be clear, I’m an island girl. Living on Guam, I experience summer all year long. Making soup recipes and holiday themed dishes, especially made for winters, are not natural to me; and it is something I have adapted since food blogging. Though, I do enjoy making holiday-themed recipes now….
Vegan Matcha Sesame Scone
Okay, let’s be honest here! When you think of scones, this is probably not the first thing that comes to your mind. One, it is shaped like a giant lady finger biscuit and, two, it has matcha topped with sesame seeds. While this is, in no way, the traditional fruity vanilla scone, it…
