Bangladeshi Fried Rice

While this looks simple and basic, and it is, it’s honestly one of the best fried rice recipes that I’ve eaten. With rice being the main staple in Bangladesh, it is eaten with every meal, including breakfast. Add in vegetables, chicken, or sausage to the rice to make this a main course.

Calamansi Coffee Crumb Cake

Calamansi Coffee Crumb Cake

Calamansi Coffee Crumb Cake

It’s wake n bake time! And I want some coffee cake. But I want something a little less traditional. I happened to have some calamansi juice and wanted to incorporate that into the recipe instead of having my coffee cake cinnamon based. The cake has the juice in the batter as well as the glaze. This recipe can also be prepared in muffin tins if you don’t have a springform pan.
