I received this recipe that I needed to try but because I just renovated my kitchen, I could not find my kitchen scale, so I converted the measurements. It still turned out great and I think the recipe is very forgiving. The rosemary adds a nice savory element to the dish. This would be great…

Aloe Jelly Drink
I have been seeing aloe leaves in the grocery store lately. My son wanted to try it so I bought one. We first tried it plain and it was slimy and earthy. It did not taste like the aloe jelly drinks that you get. The trickiest part for this recipe is prepping the aloe. The…
Crystal Gummies (Kohakutou)
This was my first time making these japanese gummies. They were super easy to make and they have a very unique texture. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can make these in any flavor that you want by adding different candy flavoring. These make beautiful unique gifts. To make this…

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….
