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…

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.

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…
Fermented Green Tomatoes
Summer is ending but garden harvests are still happening. One thing that I have a lot of are green tomatoes. I hate wasting them so I tried fermenting them this year. They turned out pretty tasty and reminded me of tangy kimchi. Next time I think I would add some spicy peppers or chili peppers…

In a bowl, add your flour salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Mix…
Blueberry Breakfast Cake
This cake might be my new summer time cake. I love fresh blueberries especially when they are picked locally. But you know what happens when you go to a U-Pick. You end up with tons of blueberries. This cake is simple yet delicious way to use up those blueberries. This recipe uses buttermilk, which makes…
Carrot Top “Chimichurri” Sauce
Having a garden at home is amazing but there are certain times you have lots of vegetables to use. This year, I decided to grow some carrots and the greens on top of these little carrots were huge. The carrots didn’t get very large so I am not sure what I was doing wrong. To…
Chicken Feta Burger
This is a fast and easy way to add something different to your burgers. The feta cheese can be swapped with other types of cheese. But the secret to making these burgers juicy is adding apples. To make these burgers, grate some apples, and onions. I left the peels on the apples but if you…
Cucumber Lemon Agua Fresca
The weather is getting warmer so here is a simple refreshing Aqua Fresca recipe to add some flavor to your water. For this recipe, you will need cucumber, lemon (or lime) and sugar. Dice up your cucumbers, and juice your lemons. You will need two cucumbers and 1/4 cup lemon juice. To a blender add…
Lime Icebox cake
Here comes another icebox cake that is perfect for summer. It can be eaten refrigerated or frozen like an ice cream cake. To make this recipe you will need Maria cookies or similar cookies. I used these butter cookies that were in my pantry. The ingredients for this cake is simple and can be made…
