Viennese Hot Chocolate

I live in Vancouver and always want to go to the hot chocolate festival but I am a little lazy to travel around the city to get them. I would rather make something at home. I recently tried this interesting hot chocolate recipe recently and really enjoyed it : Tea Hot Chocolate. I decided it was…

Crepes

This is a simple recipe but wonderful for quick breakfast. I wanted to try something different for my son instead of his regular breakfasts. I decided to fill these crepes with nutella because who wouldn’t like that. I also made some with cinnamon sugar for myself. The first thing you need to do is prepare the batter….

Toffee Icebox Cookies

This is my twist on a recipe I make every year. Instead of using glace cherries, I replaced it with toffee bits. If you find toffee bits you can use them. If not then you can crush werther originals into pieces. Soften some butter. I recommended softening quite a bit as you need the dough to…

Soy Marinated Egg

This is a quick recipe that levels up any dish. If you like jammy eggs, you will definitely like this one. You will first need to separate your eggs yolks from your egg whites. You can save the egg whites for another dish. Place your egg yolks in a container. Next time I would probably use…

Honey Fermented Lemon Ginger

This year I was gifted a Meyer lemon tree. I don’t usually cook with lemon but it is nice to have your own when I do. The lemon on this tree took so long to get yellow. I got two from this tiny tree this year. Lately I have been addicted to this Asian ginger…

Fermented Kale

Kale is a great winter crop as the plant is hardy and can endure cold weather. I still have plenty of kale in my garden so I decided to try to preserve some of it by fermenting it. This is my first time trying this but I would definitely experiment again and make some changes….

Tea Hot Chocolate

I loved trying different types of coffee recipes but this year I want to try something different. I decided I wanted to try different hot chocolate recipes. The first two that I want to try are using teas as a base. I have seen recipes for Earl Grey infused hot chocolate and Lavender hot chocolate….

Easy Mac and Cheese

One of my favorite dishes is mac and cheese and it tastes even better when you don’t have to cook it yourself. Just get your little minion to do it. (Well I did have to help boil the pasta) For this recipe you only need three ingredients (well the fourth is optional): pasta, plain yogurt…

Cereal Milk Latte

I have been wanting to try this recipe but I don’t eat a lot of cereal. I was finally given a box from my grandpa so I had to try it. I tried two different cereals, one chocolate peanut butter and one honey nut cheerios. You first need to soak the cereal in milk. I…

Updated Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have tried many versions of this chocolate chip cookie. I started with a crazy sprinkle cookie but using a chocolate chip cookie base. I have always gone back to this recipe as it never fails me. I have made some changes to it and I think it makes it better, chewier and more complex….
