Since our pastry chef Emily developed the black sesame babka recipe for Christmas, we’ve been so obsessed with the black sesame flavor and have wanted to use it in other desserts.

Updated March 26, 2019 Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. Dying eggs, baskets, candy, Easter dresses, bonnets…what’s not to love? We used to dye eggs every year. My sister is the artistic one in our family and would make the prettiest eggs. Mine never turned out so great so I would always have her finish my eggs. I would try to take the credit, but I am not a very good liar:) We used to make Bunny Tails every year too....

I have been dying to make a cheesy broccoli pie-style thingie for ages. If you’ve been reading my blog for long enough you’ll remember that two years ago I made these delectable cauliflower cheese pastries in homage to ready-made pastries I often buy from a supermarket here in South Africa. They were absolutely delectable but I have wanted to make my version of the actual pastries I love so much which contain broccoli in a very soufflé-like sauce, and so finally this weekend, I did....
Ingredients needed Corn. I used frozen and thawed corn kernels but drained canned corn or fresh corn will also work. Simply slice the kernels off the cob. Cream cheese. I don’t use sour cream or mayo in my corn dip recipe. Mayonnaise has a tendency to split once heated which will make this recipe unnecessarily greasy. You can had half cup sour cream if you want this recipe creamier. Mozzarella cheese....

The song at the beginning barely starts before my brother and I are already excited....
This post is sponsored by The Hershey Company. How much do you looooove brownies? More than chocolate chip cookies? Less than grilled cheese? As much as all the fish in the sea?
