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…
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.

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…
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…
