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…

Za’atar Maanakish
I love the taste of za’atar! It is earthy, tangy, and nutty with a hint of citrus. I wanted to make some homemade za’atar flatbread or maanakish, a Lebanese dish. Activate the yeast by adding 1 cup of warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 teaspoon dry yeast. Mix well and let it sit for…
Sourdough Discard Dinner Rolls
I still have my sourdough starter from the beginning of the pandemic. Its a little sad in the back of the fridge and I tend to forget to feed it. I discovered this recipe to use up some of the sourdough starter since I don’t bake with it often. Its an easy to go to…
Pretzel Bites
I have always wanted to make bagels, and pretzels since I always found boiling the dough in alkaline water interesting. I love how it transforms the texture and taste of the dough.

Flaxseed Meal Bread
This is another recipe that I had to try myself. I found a recipe using flaxseed meal and water to make bread. What you say? I am not sure if this was created for the keto diet? or ? For this recipe, you will need quite a lot of flaxseed meal. You can grind it…
Bread in a Bag
Once again, I am attempting to cook with my toddler. I thought he would have so much fun with this activity but I don’t think he cared for it much. Also our yeast was old and we couldn’t find any yeast in the store so the buns didn’t rise as much as I wanted them…
