I really shouldn’t post an apple cake when it’s not in season anymore. Sure, you could always eat apples all-year round nowadays; most of the apples come from growers in Washington states, which is close enough to Oregon that I could say it’s coming from local–meaning Northwest area. But these photos have been sitting in [...]
Today I got back from the beach, it’s always good to walk in to my own home. It’s really home sweet home. My family loved the time we spent at the beach, the location of where we stayed was perfect. Siletz Bay is a quiet place to have a weekend getaway that my husband said [...]
Why is it that when people think of coconut and pineapple, they’ll think of tropical island? I guess because coconut trees grow along the beach on tropical islands, and the closest tropical island to mainland US is Hawaii where there’s a lot of pineapple grown so people put that two together constantly. Personally, when [...]
I guess I got distracted yesterday since I haven’t had a chance to post the recipe for the cookie I promised from my last post. This recipe was chosen just because I had the urge to make cookies right away, and chocolate is always an easy pick. Chocolate Macadamia Coconut Cookies Makes about 5 dozen 1 cup (2 [...]

Red Leaf Lettuce with Citrus Dressing and Toasted Pine Nuts
I like eating salad with my meal, when it’s done rightly, it provides contrasting texture and flavor to the meal. In fact salad could become my main meal during the day especially on weekdays when I don’t eat lunch at home. Sometimes my salad is lavishly garnished with plenty of...

I am Eliza, a Chinese-Indonesian born living in Pacific Northwest since 1995. This is a place where I can express myself through food and photography. I am delighted in simple things in life so you will not see any pretentiousness in my blog. This is my new place to write; my old blog is at http://fooddiary.blogsome.com. As of right now I couldn't transfer my old posts here, but go ahead and visit my old blog for many recipes that I still keep it running.
My passion is in baking, whether it is Western- or Asian-style baking, I love them all. Cooking is a must for me so what I cook is occasionally posted here too. I'm completely self-taught in both baking and cooking, everything you see here is all homemade.
Enjoy your time here, I'm glad you've come and visited my site.
