S’mores Brownie

I hope everyone knows what a s’mores is. As kids we used to make them. Now as a parent, we make them with our son whenever we want a sweet treat. Roasted marshmallows are amazing and it always brings back memories of camping. When the weather is not great, we always tried to toast marshmallows…

Rocky Road

This weekend is Family Day weekend. I thought this recipe is perfect to make with your kids. The recipe is versatile and you can switch up your ingredients to things you like. For my recipe, I chose lucky charms (my son’s current favorite cereal), mini marshmallows, fruit gummies and biscuits that I had in my…

Miso Butter

Lately I have been trying to eat healthier and add more protein and veggies into my diet. My go to vegetable is steamed broccoli. Its boring but works for most of our meals. I recently discovered a simple yet delicious way to add flavor to our veggies… miso butter. Yes it is that simple. Butter…

Korean Marinated Eggs

Move over deviled eggs. Here comes soy marinated eggs. This Korean version is sweet, salty and garlicky and would be great on top of rice. I brought these eggs as a side appetizer because they are great for snacking. These are simple to make (and are made the day before) The ingredients are simple, soya…

Brown Butter Omelette

My favorite way of making omelette has to be the french gooey omelette or egg foo young. But I recently came across another way of making an omelette that seemed very interesting. It resulted in soft moist eggs and it was super simple to make. The recipe came from Helen Rennie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nBvt06R-No . To make…

Preserved Cilantro Topping

I don’t know about you, but my herbs never last long. Yes I know there are ways to keep them fresh longer and I have tried but I have never been successful with cilantro. I saw this recipe online by Souped up recipes for preserving cilantro for 5 months! I wanted to try it right…

Filipino Eggplant Omelette

I always love trying dishes from other cultures and learning different techniques that I can use in my own dishes. I have seen this recipe on the internet many times and I always thought that this was a really neat way of cooking eggplant. I finally decided to make it. I really liked the simplicity…

Pickled Radish Pods

My garden is sadly prepped for winter. No more fresh garden vegetables. I was able to get one final harvest but wished the radish pods were a little bigger. Yes you heard me right, if you didn’t get to your radishes in time and they bolted, save those pods. They have the same spicy flavor…

Pasteis de Nata

This summer my family and I took a trip to Portugal. The one dish that we looked for was Portuguese Egg tarts. I just needed to compare to the egg tarts that I was used to. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go to the famous Belem Bakery but I was able to find some egg…

SPL Granola Bars

Nearly every year I take a trip down to Strathcona Park Lodge in Campbell River, BC. If you have not been there you should at least once. It is beautiful and the staff there are wonderful. What I love is their granola bars. (oh their granola and yogurt is amazing too). A couple years ago…
