A couple weeks ago, I posted a review on Nordstrom Cafe. When I was there I ordered creme brulee. It was yum. I decided it was my turn to make this favorite dish. One reason I don’t make this dish often is that I hate using a torch. I improvised in this version. You will…
Author: HappyEnki
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.

Easy Quick Miso Udon
This is a quick and easy meal that I always make when I am in a rush. It is really simple because most of the ingredients are store bought, but there is enough freshness to make it feel homemade. You can get pretty fancy with this recipe or you can keep it really simple. Things…
Adventures at Nordstrom Bistro Verde
Yesterday was the grand opening of Nordstrom in Downtown Vancouver. My friend and I decided to check it out. Wow it was crowded. What makes this Nordstrom intriguing to me is that there is a restaurant located on the third floor. On the main floor there is a little coffee shop and on the second…
Pickled Avocado! What?!
Want to try a weird recipe? Well you have to try this one. When I first found this recipe on Pinterest, I just could not figure out how this would taste. I love avocados but pickled avocados? What? To me this tastes like pickled egg, but it is probably is just the vinegar. It is…
Easy Lemon Honey Chicken
Looking for an easy quick dish? This is one of my favorites. It is actually called Honeymoon chicken. It is sweet, sour and tasty. For this recipe you will need lemon, poultry herbs (thyme, rosemary and sage), honey, garlic, olive oil and white wine. When a recipe asks for whole chicken, I prefer to use…
Eggless Chickpea Quiche
Oh how I miss eggs. The creamy taste. I miss breakfasts, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, eggs Benedict, omelets and quiches. I have been looking for some egg substitutes that could possibly help with my cravings. I came across this recipe that is made with chickpeas and is supposed to have the texture of eggs. Well…
Onion Pancake
This is an other another recipe that reminds me of my childhood. I decided to make this because my chive plants have been going crazy and needed to be eaten. This is a super simple recipe. If you don’t have chives, just replace it with green onions. Chinese chives are also available some supermarkets. Chive…
Sourdough Turkey Meat Pies
Here is another recipe you can do with your leftover sourdough starter. This is really easy to make and great to freeze for an easy meal. Start by making your pie crust. You will need to refrigerate it for a couple of hours to make sure that it is nice and cold. Put flour, shortening,…
Baking with Intention. Does bread have feelings?
I have been reading a lot on the internet about intention. With the power of your mind you can manifest your desire. I decided to test this theory out and put intention into baking. Most people bake because they love it. You see a lot of recipes that say, made with love, or just add…
Non-Dairy Creamer
Going dairy free can be hard. Especially when you love the rich creamy taste of milk in your coffee. I have been looking for an alternative for quite a while. The soy creamers that are available are usually full of sugar (which as you know I cannot have). I tried hemp milk, almond milk, cashew…
