I love making waffles for the weekend. They are easy, quick and can be saved in the freezer for weekday breakfast. This version of waffles uses sweet rice flour or mochiko to make a chewy gluten free version. In a mixing bowl, add one egg, 1/3 cup corn starch, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon…

Pistachio Honey Tangyuan
This dish is served for Lunar festivals. It is a simple dish to make and easy to freeze. Start by making the filling by processing the pistachios. Do this by using a food processor and blending the pistachios until it is a fine grain consistency. Add the 2 tbsp liquid honey and 1 tsp sugar….
Baba Ganoush
We have started to have a weekly dip day with dips, fresh veggies, and a carb. This became a fun meal for the family as there was options for everyone. I wanted to make one of my favourite dips, baba ganoush. It was very easy and delicious. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees….
Banana Peel Bacon
In an effort to reduce food waste, I decided to try out a recipe that I thought was pretty weird. Normally you don’t eat banana peels and they mostly end up in the compost but this recipe uses the peels to make vegan bacon! Begin by peeling the bananas leaving long strips. Using a spoon,…
Burdock and Root Veggie Soup
Burdock is an underappreciated root. I discovered it in the grocery store and was curious to how it tasted. Here is a tasty and earthy vegetable soup that is great for cold days. I’ve always been familiar with burdock as a weed. It has bright purple flowers and the worst kinds of burrs (seeds) that…
Bitter Melon and Egg
Bitter melon is a vegetable that you love or hate. I remember having it as a kid and not entirely loving the bitterness. My sisters and I would dare each other to eat the bitter gourd and see who ate the most. Over time, the bitterness grew on me and I would tolerate dishes that…
Pear Oatmeal Cookies
If you are still trying to use up all your apple/pears from your garden and you need a recipe, these cookies make a great quick breakfast treat. It is really simple and can be whipped up in no time. You will need some pears. I used Asian pears since that’s what I have in my…
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…
Jackfruit Carnitas with Celery Root Tortillas
There have been so many times where I cook for other and find that they have food allergies or sensitivities. I love to accommodate them without compromising on the flavours. I decided to treat my friends (one vegetarian and one gluten free) to a delicious carnitas taco. How would one go about doing that? I…
Homemade Char Siu
I can’t get enough of char siu. There is something about the stickiness and tenderness of the pork. I thought I would try my hand at making my own char sui. I wouldn’t say this was an easy task. There are a lot of ingredients and time that is needed to make it. My aunt…
