I hope I come across as an interesting person. I love reiki and other forms of healing, cooking, crystals and baking. I am constantly working on crafts and projects such as painting, felting, and knitting. I feel like I am still looking for my happiness in life. My life purpose. Isn't that what we are all looking for. I don't mean happiness as friends and loved ones since I have plenty of those. I mean career wise. You can see my journey through my blog as I explore my culinary passion. Follow me on Tumblr, Twitter and instagram @happyenki

Kale Chips

Coca Cola Instant Pot Pork Roast

This is a simple weekday meal idea or whenever you just feel lazy. The secret to this recipe is Coca Cola. Yes fizzy soda. You won’t know that it is there and it adds just the right amount of sweetness to your dish. You could probably try this other meats. I wanted to keep the…

Blueberry Milk, Blueberry Latte, Blueberry Matcha

I found my new refreshing summer drink. I love it because you can change it to your liking and I love blueberries. I used fresh blueberries to make my blueberry milk but this would probably work with frozen as well and you could probably end up making a slushy drink. Puree the blueberries as smooth…

Oreo Pudding Dessert

My son loves oreos and love to bake. We found this recipe that combines the two. Unfortunately he didn’t like this much. This is a simple recipe that combines oreo cookies and chocolate pudding. You can even make this simpler by making instant pudding instead. The first step is to prepare the pudding since you…

Cucumber Chips

Sometimes I buy cucumber in bulk and realize that I don’t eat them fast enough. One day I decided to dehydrate them and now my son loves to eat them for a snack. This is quick and easy snack and gives you a reason to buy bulk cucumbers again. You can flavor these chips with…

Laba Garlic

One of the most interesting finds that I have found on the internet recently has to be the laba garlic. It is so simple to make and is a great way to preserve your garlic. It adds a vinegary, spicy taste. It tastes great on its own but also good added to dishes. First you…

Tofu Nuggets

Lately I have been following a lot of vegetarian/vegan youtubers. This recipe was really interesting as you had to freeze tofu and defrost it to get it to a texture that resembles meat. Because tofu comes sealed it is safe to freeze, defrost and freeze again. To get the peel apart texture of vegan meat,…
