Creme Brulee without a torch
A couple weeks ago, I posted a review on Nordstrom Cafe. When I was there I ordered creme brulee. It was yum. I decided it was my turn to make this favorite dish. One reason I don’t make this dish often is that I hate using a torch. I improvised in this version. You will…
Flourless Banana Pancakes
How do you make pancakes without flour? That was my first question when I came across this recipe on the internet. This recipe intrigued me because I imagined pancakes to be fluffy and doughy.

This is a quick and easy meal that I always make when I am in a rush. It is really simple because most of the ingredients are store bought, but there is enough freshness to make it feel homemade. You can get pretty fancy with this recipe or you can keep it really simple. Things…
Mobius Bagels

Coconut Cream of Mushroom Chicken
One thing that I miss is cream of mushroom soup. In this recipe, I tried to recreate the taste and texture using coconut milk. Start by slicing and sautéing 5 mushrooms in dairy-free butter or oil. Browning the mushrooms would bring out the nice earthy flavour. Set the mushrooms to one side while you brown…
Pickled Avocado! What?!
Want to try a weird recipe? Well you have to try this one. When I first found this recipe on Pinterest, I just could not figure out how this would taste. I love avocados but pickled avocados? What? To me this tastes like pickled egg, but it is probably is just the vinegar. It is…
Baking Soda vs Vinegar: Getting that Travel Mug Clean
Over time metal travel mugs start getting a brown grime and old coffee smell. It also makes your coffee taste old and stale. I decided to look up ways to clean my travel mugs. I found comments from different people saying to use white vinegar. Others said to use baking soda. I had two cups…
Easy Lemon Honey Chicken
Looking for an easy quick dish? This is one of my favorites. It is actually called Honeymoon chicken. It is sweet, sour and tasty. For this recipe you will need lemon, poultry herbs (thyme, rosemary and sage), honey, garlic, olive oil and white wine. When a recipe asks for whole chicken, I prefer to use…
