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.

Sardines and Condensed Milk
Yes you read this right. Sardines and Condensed Milk. Not sure why I needed to try this but I did.

I don’t think I executed the recipe well as I…

Rice Paper Chips

Panetonne French Toast Casserole
Every Christmas we get a Panetonne, either as a gift or buy one on our own. Every year I love it but also realize how huge the loaf is. If you have never had a Panetonne, it is an Italian cake filled with citrus and raisins. It is buttery and soft and yummy. Usually I…
