Taco Burgers
I’ve been looking for some fun ways to try new foods in the house. With a three year old, it often tough to get him to eat meat and veggies. I tried this fun version of a taco burger and it was a hit in this household! Add grated veggies like carrots and zucchini to…
Korean Marinated Eggs
Move over deviled eggs. Here comes soy marinated eggs. This Korean version is sweet, salty and garlicky and would be great on top of rice. I brought these eggs as a side appetizer because they are great for snacking. These are simple to make (and are made the day before) The ingredients are simple, soya…
Preserved Cilantro Topping
I don’t know about you, but my herbs never last long. Yes I know there are ways to keep them fresh longer and I have tried but I have never been successful with cilantro. I saw this recipe online by Souped up recipes for preserving cilantro for 5 months! I wanted to try it right…
Filipino Eggplant Omelette
I always love trying dishes from other cultures and learning different techniques that I can use in my own dishes. I have seen this recipe on the internet many times and I always thought that this was a really neat way of cooking eggplant. I finally decided to make it. I really liked the simplicity…

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…
Buttermilk Biscuits
I love biscuits because they can be savory or sweet. But mostly because they are super simple to make. For this recipe you will need butter, buttermilk, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, add your flour salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Mix…
Blueberry Breakfast Cake
This cake might be my new summer time cake. I love fresh blueberries especially when they are picked locally. But you know what happens when you go to a U-Pick. You end up with tons of blueberries. This cake is simple yet delicious way to use up those blueberries. This recipe uses buttermilk, which makes…
