My love of baking is something that keeps me sane during these last couple of weeks. Some of you know that I recently had a baby (almost 3 months!). That means my creativity and spare time went down the window. Sleep deprived and constantly looking after a little one took its toll on my creative…

Air Fryer Pasta Chips
I’ve been seeing pasta chips all over the internet and thought it was an interesting idea. I wanted to try it out since it sounded easy. All you need is pasta, garlic powder, spices, parmesan cheese and olive oil. Start by cooking the pasta in salted water as directed by package (8-10 minutes). You want…
Macaroni Pizza
This creation is credited to my son who wanted macaroni pizza. This recipe is a combination of my two go to recipes: milk alfredo pasta and naan pizza. I have been using naan as my pizza base for quite a long time. I love the chewy texture and thickness of the naan. For this recipe,…
White Chocolate Pistachio Bark
Making white chocolate bark is a great way to treat someone you love. It looks beautiful, tastes great and is easy. For this recipe, I used white chocolate, pistachios, freeze dried strawberries, lavender and salted cherry blossoms. The green, red and pinks look fantastic against the white chocolate. This recipe also doesn’t have exact measurements…
Summer Chocolate Bark
The heat this summer has been something we have not experienced before. Last week we experienced a major heat wave and I completely forgot that I had a bag of chocolate chips in the cupboard. Well our kitchen gets really warm and you guessed it, the entire bag melted. This week I decided to use…
Hurricane Popcorn

Salted Cherry Blossoms
It was recently cherry blossom season and I had been wanting to salt them for many years. I usually end up missing the chance to forage for them and by the time I think of it, the season is over. This year I was able to get my hands on a handful of blossoms. Since…
Pineapple Tarts

Overall pineapple tarts are tasty and pretty simple to make. Start by making the pineapple jam filling. You will need 3 cans of pineapple. I…
2 Ingredient Brownie
Here is an amazing two ingredient brownie recipe I found. It reminds me a lot of the nutella cookies I made a couple years ago that used 4 ingredients. For this recipe, you need two ingredients: nutella and eggs. Beat the eggs until they are nice and fluffy. In a microwave safe bowl, heat up…
Rice Paper Chips
Ok so you probably have seen a bunch of recipes like this floating around the internet. Even though I know it obviously works (since this is exactly like shrimp chips that you can find in Asian markets), I still wanted to try it out and see how easy it actually was. Also I was bored…
