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…

Champurrado
Try this warm and comforting drink on cold rainy afternoons. In a saucepan, add 3 cups water and 2 tsp cinnamon. Set the stove to simmer and let the water warm up to allow the cinnamon to mix in. Once the water is warm, slowly stir in the 1/2 cup Masa Harina and whisk. Add…
Farofa: Toasted Cassava Flour
Farofa is a side dish made from cassava flour and is served on many Brazilian meals. The nutty and mild flour is reminiscent of toasted bread crumbs. In a pan, cook the bacon until it is slightly cooked. This should take about 5 minutes. Add the diced onions, minced garlic, and 2 tbsp butter to…
Mashed Potato Pancakes
Do you ever have left over mashed potatoes and don’t know what to do with it? My favourite time to use them is for breakfast and making them into mashed potato pancakes! Its very easy and a great alternative to hashbrowns. To make the mashed potato pancakes, place 1 egg for every 1 cup of…
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….

Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows
These chocolate dipped marshmallows are great treats for kids (and adults). They can be eaten alone or used as a stir stick in hot chocolate. All you need is a cup of milk chocolate chips, sprinkles, lollipop sticks and marshmallows. Begin by melting your chocolate in the microwave. I usually melt the chocolate chips for 10…
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…
Masa Harina Pancakes
I thought I would try something different for breakfast. I found a recipe using masa harina. Masa harina is a corn flour that is used to make corn tortillas but can also be used for other things like pupusas, corn bread and even cookies. Begin by mixing 1 cup masa harina, 1/3 cup sugar, 2…
