Wood Butter
I decided to try something different this week. I made some homemade wood butter to condition my wooden spoons and cutting board. It turned out pretty good and my spoons/cutting board look great. You will need beeswax and coconut oil. I got the beeswax from a dye supply shop but you could use 100% beeswax…
Shrimp and Salmon Pasta
Pasta is easily transformed from plain tomato sauce to something more elegant by adding a few ingredients. You can add leftover chicken or stir fry to jazz up the sauce! For this pasta, I bought some prawns and smoked salmon. Begin by dicing up the onions and garlic for the tomato sauce. Sauté the onions and…

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….
Easy Quick Miso Udon
This is a quick and easy meal that I always make when I am in a rush. It is really simple because most of the ingredients are store bought, but there is enough freshness to make it feel homemade. You can get pretty fancy with this recipe or you can keep it really simple. Things…
