I love soft pretzels especially from Disney. We had a Disney themed party so I decided to pair up some Currywurst with some pretzel bites. At first I thought this recipe would be tricky and challenging but it turned out to be very easy to make. My kid also enjoyed helping me and loved rolling…

Bubble Waffle
My son loves bubble waffles, but they are so expensive. (They are delicious though.) We decided to buy a bubble waffle pan and attempt to make our own. The recipe is pretty simple but making the waffles evenly brown is tricky. For this recipe, you will need to prepare this in advance as you need…
Rice Cooker Mochi
I’ve have an addiction to mochi and have a lot sweet rice in the pantry so I decided to give this recipe a try. Begin by soaking the sweet rice overnight. Cook the rice in a rice cooker. I have a handy measure on the side of my rice cooker but it is usually a…
Sour Ginger Candy
I have been searching for a recipe for the ginger candy that is similar to the Chinese ginger that you can buy from those herbal stores. You know those tiny red ones that are a little sour and sweet and makes your tongue and fingers red. Well, I decided to just look at the ingredients…

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…
Butter and Radish
This year I grew some radishes in my garden and wanted to try this recipe out. All you need is some butter, radishes, salt and toast. These radishes are pretty big and work perfectly to make tiny disks. All you need to assemble this recipe is radishes, butter, toast and some salt. Apparently in France,…
Caramelized Bacon Crackers
Warmer weather is heading our way and that means it will soon be picnic season. This recipe is a great snack to bring to picnics or as an appetizer for a party. For this recipe, you need some crackers, bacon and brown sugar. For the crackers I used toppables since it was the same size…
Candied Almonds
These candy almonds are delicious as a treat or can be mixed with granola or used as toppings. They are really simple and quick to make. For this recipe, you will need almond (I used slivered since that was what I had), cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract and water. In a pan simmer the sugar, cinnamon,…
