Creme Brulee without a torch

A couple weeks ago, I posted a review on Nordstrom Cafe. When I was there I ordered creme brulee. It was yum.  I decided it was my turn to make this favorite dish. One reason I don’t make this dish often is that I hate using a torch.  I improvised in this version. You will…

Flourless Banana Pancakes

How do you make pancakes without flour? That was my first question when I came across this recipe on the internet.  This recipe intrigued me because I imagined pancakes to be fluffy and doughy. Not something I would think eggs and banana would create. To create these pancakes, you need 1 banana and 2 eggs….

Eggs and Peppers

Somedays cooking for one can be tedious. I sometimes get so lazy that I end up just opening up a can of tuna and eating it with a bowl of salad. Today I decided not to be so lazy and make dinner instead. This is an easy and quick light dinner that you can make….

Eggless Chickpea Quiche

Oh how I miss eggs.  The creamy taste. I miss breakfasts, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, eggs Benedict, omelets and quiches. I have been looking for some egg substitutes that could possibly help with my cravings.  I came across this recipe that is made with chickpeas and is supposed to have the texture of eggs.  Well…

Onion Pancake

This is an other another recipe that reminds me of my childhood.  I decided to make this because my chive plants have been going crazy and needed to be eaten.  This is a super simple recipe.  If you don’t have chives, just replace it with green onions. Chinese chives are also available some supermarkets. Chive…

Vegan and Gluten Free Peanut Butter Brownies

Having to cut out dairy from my diet has proved to be very challenging. Having to also make sure to make gluten-free and dairy-free recipes proved even more of a challenge. Making sure you take into account of multiple food intolerances leaves you with limited choices in foods and desserts. I found this recipe that…

Dehydrating Things

Why dehydrate your food? I dehydrate fruits because they are going to spoil. I dehydrate mostly in the summer and fall month when there is an abundance of fruits and veggies. I love dehydrating watermelon and apples. They make healthy snacks for work but recently I got into dehydrating veggies (until my dehydrator died). During…

Non-Dairy Creamer

Going dairy free can be hard. Especially when you love the rich creamy taste of milk in your coffee.  I have been looking for an alternative for quite a while.  The soy creamers that are available are usually full of sugar (which as you know I cannot have). I tried hemp milk, almond milk, cashew…

Okonomiyaki

Japanese food is definitely on my top things to make. Its versatile, delicious and easy.  Okonomiyaki is one of my go to meals when I crave Japanese. Okonomiyaki can be made just with cabbage but you can add your own twist to it. Try out seafood, chicken, tofu. Get creative!! Start by slicing the cabbage. You…

Eat it later … Cereal Bar

When you think of breakfast,  you will definitely think about cereal. I always think I will eat cereal for breakfast but nope. I would rather eat toast. The sad thing is all the cereal that sits in my cupboard.  Eat it now or eat it later.  I always eat it later. I opened up my…
