Happy New Year everyone! I wish everyone a great start in 2013. For me, it was not a very good start at all :( I got diarrea for the first week of 2013. Hope I’ll feel better soon. It has been a long time since my last post because of all my busy school work! It’s gonna be even more crazier in the next semester, but I hope to keep posting my work up here as my new goal in 2013 :D This homemade granola saves me a lot of money, plus it is a great healthy snack!

I went on a Christmas trip to The Big Island and it was so fun :D The landscape is gorgeous over there! Heavenly Father’s work is truly amazing!

 I look chubby D: another new goal of 2013: Get a better shape!

:D Time for some my favorite macarons! Once you start experimenting it, you will never stop trying it.

Last Friday Night, me and my friend went to the movie and watched Batman (FINALLY!), then we headed to the science museum and had a lovely dinner :D We had a rice pizza and it was… well…not bad, but not very surprising either. Plus we can’t help but noticed how creative the chefs are in order to survive in this industry. 

Have you ever want to add something on a macaron but afraid that would ruin everything? This pavlova is almost the same with macaron, and you can add whatever toppings you like. Just like a fruit tart!  The only thing that I dont like is it takes almost an hour to bake it!!! D:

I have been spending a lot of time on cookies lately and had tons of fun. Surprises keep popping out when I try something new! That recalls me, I had a bad experience of having too many cookies that I threw up everything once I got back home ._. But that doesn’t stop the cookie monster :D Let’s kick start the Cookie Marathon! First up, the Chocolate Almond Cookies!
