2022 Top 6 Recipes

December 30, 2022 By Lokness Leave a Comment

Welcome to another year of Top 6! 2022 has been a better year. It feels like things are slowly getting back to normal. Excited for 2023 to come! But before 2023, it’s time to take a look back at our Top 6 recipes of 2022.

2022 has been a pretty busy year for me. In my personal life, we were able to do a bit more traveling, like Monterey, Denver, Maine & Boston. My sister and Bryan’s best friend both got married. My parents flew in town for my sister wedding and we got to spend some family time together. We ended up all getting covid after traveling with my family, but we have fully recovered after 2 – 3 weeks. Lucky that all of these happened after the wedding. What a relief!

For the blog, I admitted that it has been a bit lacking. I still struggled to get back to the working flow, but I’m feeling better and positive that 2023 will head to the right way. Thank you very much for the continued supports! I love reading all the comments on the blog and on Instagram. It warms my heart every time when you guys really enjoyed my recipes. ❤️

Happy 2023! Wish you a fantastic and healthy new year!

Here are our 2022 Top 6 Recipes:

6. Iced Mango Matcha – Amazing cold drink for the summer! It has the perfect balance of sweetness & bitterness. Quick & easy too!

Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple pickin Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple picking soon, but before that, let’s bake this Fresh Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It’s moist, perfectly sweet (but not too much!), & packed w/ fresh apples. Honestly, it doesn’t get more fall than this rustic, cozy dessert! 

Btw, still obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters! It was so touching seeing the interview & performance of Huntr/x on Jimmy Fallon.💜

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. 🎃🍂

Toasting the marshmallows w/ a kitchen torch for that perfectly charred, smoky flavor.🤎 These Rice Krispies treats make the best party snacks or a sweet little afternoon pick-me-up!

Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now open Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.😅

If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it’s this one, Burrata Salad w/ Marinated Tomato & Thai Basil. Creamy, bright flavors & no cook. I love how well the savory Thai basil pair w/ sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh cucumbers & creamy burrata. Amazing!

Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Ita Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Italian style shaved ice made w/ fresh cherries, & paired w/ a creamy mascarpone topping. It’s sweet, little tart, refreshing & creamy all at once! No shaved ice machine is needed. All you have to do is to scrape the fruit liquid with a fork every once a while. That’ll prevent the liquid turning into a giant black of ice. You’ll get these flavorful tiny ice flakes at the end. 🍒🧊🍧

Favorite Breakfast Burritos. This is my copycat ve Favorite Breakfast Burritos. This is my copycat version of The Rooster’s Rico Suave burrito. Jammy fried eggs, crispy tater tots, smoky bacon, creamy avocado, melty cheddar & salty cotija cheese. And don’t forget the sauces, salsa de molcajete & cilantro crema. It’s hearty, filling & comforting! Yes, this is no doubt our favorite burrito!
