Lately I have been trying to eat healthier and add more protein and veggies into my diet. My go to vegetable is steamed broccoli. Its boring but works for most of our meals. I recently discovered a simple yet delicious way to add flavor to our veggies… miso butter. Yes it is that simple. Butter…

Korean Marinated Eggs
Move over deviled eggs. Here comes soy marinated eggs. This Korean version is sweet, salty and garlicky and would be great on top of rice. I brought these eggs as a side appetizer because they are great for snacking. These are simple to make (and are made the day before) The ingredients are simple, soya…
Filipino Eggplant Omelette
I always love trying dishes from other cultures and learning different techniques that I can use in my own dishes. I have seen this recipe on the internet many times and I always thought that this was a really neat way of cooking eggplant. I finally decided to make it. I really liked the simplicity…
Fermented Green Tomatoes
Summer is ending but garden harvests are still happening. One thing that I have a lot of are green tomatoes. I hate wasting them so I tried fermenting them this year. They turned out pretty tasty and reminded me of tangy kimchi. Next time I think I would add some spicy peppers or chili peppers…
Buttermilk Biscuits

For this recipe you will need butter, buttermilk, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.

Peach and Rosemary Compote
I received this recipe that I needed to try but because I just renovated my kitchen, I could not find my kitchen scale, so I converted the measurements. It still turned out great and I think the recipe is very forgiving. The rosemary adds a nice savory element to the dish. This would be great…
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…
Broccoli Leaf Stir Fry
Growing winter veggies has been an interesting experience. All through summer my broccoli only produced leaves. Just recently there was some signs of florets but not a lot. I’m hoping that by Spring, we will have more broccoli. In the meantime, I have been experimenting with cooking broccoli leaves which are similar to kale. They…
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…
