We are blessed to be in the Northwest where summer is filled with delicious fresh fruits. It is even more special when these fruits—specifically blueberries—come from your own garden...or in my case, my mother's garden! I have been craving for cheesecake for about a month now, but I haven’t found the time to bake one for myself. There were always projects after projects, and then some weird bugs hit me hard last week that I had to stay in bed for almost the entire Saturday, which was no fun. So, as soon as I recovered, I insisted to bake this during a workweek, which I usually avoid as I want to spend more time with the kids after a long day at work. This is also another reason why I love (and thankful) for the long summer days.

Do you want to do something a little out of the ordinary? Or perhaps making a fun and easy cake that everyone would love for your next event? This cake is just right for you if you are in a time crunch but still wanting to make a cake to impress your family and friends. This Boba Milk Tea cake is super adorable and takes less time than most fondant cakes that I had previously made. The fun thing is that you will get to hand paint the cake in any bubble tea flavor or color that you like, and boy, the options are endless.
Bathing under millions of sun rays. Walking on the soft, warm sand. Breathing in the fresh air from a breezy wind. Listening to the echo of the ocean waves and the cries from the seagulls. This is a picture perfect for a summer day on the beach. My kids love the beach where they could play with the sand toys, chase seagulls, kick some beach balls, or seek for broken seashells along the shore. We come to the beach so the kids could roam around freely, flying their colorful kites, while my husband and I enjoy some peaceful moments under the sun. The days are longer and oftentimes fill with fun activities, including water parks and picnics—so many things for us to do!
If you need to make a dozen of the basic vanilla cupcakes in 30 minutes, this recipe is for you! These cupcakes are so easy to make, and they stay moist for days. I believe that no matter how many recipes you have in your cabinet, you should always have the best vanilla recipe to go to. This is also the same for cake recipes. After all, vanilla recipe is the basic backbone of all cake recipes. Yep, I'm getting a little carried away, and perhaps being a little dramatic. But we all know that every once in a while, you will have a request for this so good, yet simple vanilla cupcakes, and you can whip out all of the baking ingredients to show your guests that you do indeed can turn something so basic into a major topic that everyone will "wow" for months.
I am so excited to share today's post with you as this is the first Travel posting for my blog! I however do plan on keeping this going as my husband and children are exploring this beautiful world we live in together. I am going to apologize upfront with all of these photos, but that is also another hobby that I have grown to love as I merged into the blogging world.
Some background about this trip. Oregon has been our home for more than 25 years and we never had a chance to explore this amazing beautiful state. We love Portland, Oregon and we are not planning on moving anywhere, anytime soon. |
