This is my twist on a recipe I make every year. Instead of using glace cherries, I replaced it with toffee bits. If you find toffee bits you can use them. If not then you can crush werther originals into pieces. Soften some butter. I recommended softening quite a bit as you need the dough to…
Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows
These chocolate dipped marshmallows are great treats for kids (and adults). They can be eaten alone or used as a stir stick in hot chocolate. All you need is a cup of milk chocolate chips, sprinkles, lollipop sticks and marshmallows. Begin by melting your chocolate in the microwave. I usually melt the chocolate chips for 10…
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…

Fermented Kale
Kale is a great winter crop as the plant is hardy and can endure cold weather. I still have plenty of kale in my garden so I decided to try to preserve some of it by fermenting it. This is my first time trying this but I would definitely experiment again and make some changes….
Apple Pancakes
I’m always coming up with new ways to add a bit of extra fruits and veggies in our meals. This recipe gives the pancakes a nice sweet taste without adding too much sugar. Grate a medium apple and put it in the mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 egg, 1 1/2 tbsp baking…
