Spinach Cupcakes

My son’s second birthday was coming up and I wanted to make some special cupcakes. It was a Toy Story themed party and we had the decorations up and ready. The only thing that was missing was the cake. For food we wanted to make Orion’s favourite since it was his birthday. For the cupcake…

Gamja Jorim (Korean Potato Side Dish)

I love going to a Korean restaurant and getting Gamja Jorim as one of the sides. I also found out that my kiddo loves this potato dish so I decided to give it a shot. Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into cubes. Heat up a pan on medium, add some oil and then…

Chocolate Zucchini Banana Loaf

My kid (and partner) is going through a stage where they won’t eat as many veggies as I would like them to. So I decided to get creative and add veggies in EVERYTHING!! Including our banana bread recipe. I used the banana bread recipe from our food blog but included 1/2 cup of grated zucchini….

Bulgogi Lentils

I love trying out meals with a twist and having the need to eat healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable has made me consider adding more plant protein to my diet. Occasionally, I would cook beef bulgogi, a Korean beef dish. I love it because of the subtle sweet soy sauce taste to the beef. I…

Rice Krispies Nests

I love trying to make easy bake recipes for kids. Now that it’s close to Easter, you can get mini eggs in any grocery store. Using the classic Rice Krispies marshmallow square recipe and some creative decorating, we were able to make a sweet treat. I started by getting the kids to grease the cupcake…

Roti Canai

Every year during this time, we head up to Whistler to hang out and have a fun time. We’ve started a tradition where we have a cooking contest. This year we decided to make meals based off of different location. I got Malaysia. I decided to make a kopitiam style breakfast and included roti canai…

Caramel Kaya Jam

Kaya Jam is commonly found in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. It is a delicious coconut egg jam on toast and easy to make. Begin by combining 4-5 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup coconut cream, and 3/4 cup coconut milk in a saucepan. Filter the mixture to get any big pieces out. Place the saucepan…

Dirt Cupcakes

One of the best things about baking is getting creative with decorating. Its been a long time since I did decorate cupcakes so I was excited to do different. Occasionally, I would make snacks for my department meeting. For this meeting, we were talking about our gardens so I decided to make dirt cupcakes! (Not…

Chicken Satay Skewers

Recently my dinners have been simple and easy. As a working mom, it is hard to make delicious and healthy food while working full-time. I started to experiment more and make things that I haven’t made for a while. One of the things that I have missed was chicken satay skewers. Begin by dicing the…

Easy Brie Pasta

Try this recipe on days when you are really lazy and there is nothing really in the fridge except a wheel of brie. I’m tempted to remake this recipe with even more brie next time. Add 1/4 cup of white vinegar and 4 tablespoons of milk to a pan. Chop up the brie and add…
