Pumpkin pancake is one of my favourite dessert. It can be easily made and stored to be eaten at a later time.

It’s also a great snack…
Homemade chili oil, an essential item in my home kitchen. When I was younger I loved spicy food, the spicier the better. These days my stomach can’t handle too much spicy food.

Summer is almost over (sad face). For me, summer is the abundance of watermelon. When I was young I remember having so many watermelon in the summer time that we were eating a watermelon per week.

I really enjoy this cookie because it’s not super sweet with airy texture….
