Italian Apple Cake - Torta Di Mele

Apple cake is one of my favorites, because the portion of batter is smaller than that of apple.
So I can cut down  my carbohydrate intake.
I came over to my friend's house yesterday. She likes healthy foods. So I brought it for her. Of course, she liked it.
Very nice and easy to make.
Although it is rather plain cake that is great with a cup of coffee or just as a snack.
If you want to serve it as a dessert I would serve it with ice cream while still warm.
It would be great dessert!

Apple Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping

Amazing! 
It was quite the best coffee cake I've ever baked and very moist & fluffy and so wonderful to eat.
Absolutely delicious.
I enjoyed it with a cup of coffee in the morning and shared some cupcakes with my friends.
I am ready to bake another.  :)

Also, I used  a cupcake liner for wrapping.
How does it look?

Thank you

I wanted to thank everyone who gave me sweet things.  One of them is my new friend and the other is my neighbor.

Next door neighbor is very kind, because he cleaned the snow in front of my house whenever it snowed.

And my new friend gave me a phone case. It is very cuuuuuuuuuute!

So I wanted to show my appreciation.

Baking butter cookies is my specialty, so I baked them.

They smelled so good baking in the oven.

Hope they really like them.

YUMMMMM.

Roasted Coconut Chips - Trader Joe's

Trader Joe's is my favorite grocery store, because  the store has its own brand and popular items from other countries. 

When I saw Korean kimchi and fruit chips I was glad to find them because I am from South Korea.

Sometimes, I find fresh Korean pears and dried persimmons. They were very delicious.

They soothed my homesickness.

They consoled me. 

If you are a foreigner, you understand me.

Today, I would like to introduce you to roasted coconut chips at Trader Joe's.

It is from Thailand.

I think it is very good for snacking, salad topping or ice cream adornment.

Especially, I like its super crispy texture and intense coconut flavor.

If you are looking for a special chip, I would highly recommend Trader Joe's coconut chips.

Kale Chips - Trader Joe's

My teacher recommended fresh kale chips. 

She said it is very good for snacking and easy to make.

So I bought kale chips at Trader Joe's. Of course, it is not homemade style, but I just wanted to try it.

How was Trader Joe's Kale Chips? I think it is too salty.

Crispy texture was good, but BBQ flavor was very strong.

If there was no BBQ flavor, it would be better. I only tasted salt. No kale flavor.

Some beer lovers might like it, because it is good match with beer.

I am thinking that I will make fresh kale chips.

I will sprinkle the chips with a little bit of salt :)

Finally, I like a chips's package. These things are packaged like they're some kind of comic book superheroes.  GOOD!
