This recipe is not mine, but the blog that I got it from is no longer active (Tammy's Recipes). In order to preserve this recipe, I am including it here as it is one of my favourites! I originally made this back in 2012 and loved it so much - the taste is fantastic by… Continue reading Honey White Challah

Dark Chocolate Pots de Creme
I love chocolate pots de creme. It's rich, decadent, smooth, and oh so wonderful. It's like having those little puddings I loved as a child, but in an all-grown-up sort of way. If you want something luxurious that really doesn't take too long to put together (although the waiting time is unfortunate), this is the… Continue reading Dark Chocolate Pots de Creme
Not According To Plan
Well! Our daughter made her way into the world on May 4th, which threw off several plans and also made me and my husband a very happy albeit tired pair. We have slowly been getting used to this new routine but I can definitely say that cooking has not been a forefront on our mind.… Continue reading Not According To Plan
Pantry Organisation and Meal Planning
Hi all! Per the last post on "Paring Down The Grocery Budget", we are getting this party started! The first thing I've done, and I'm partially blaming this on nesting in addition to wanting to grab hold of our budget, is create a spreadsheet with our current pantry, fridge, and freezer items. I did this on… Continue reading Pantry Organisation and Meal Planning
Paring Down The Grocery Budget
We will soon be switching to one income in the next month or so after my maternity leave ends and I will be leaving my position to become a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM). When I was younger, I used to imagine where I'd be at home as a SAHM, watching the kids and taking… Continue reading Paring Down The Grocery Budget

Long time no see! This past year has been super busy - I am actually expecting a baby in the next couple weeks! Maybe this is part of the 'nesting' phase, but I have been trying to get a few freezer meals ready for the first week and make some of our pantry favourites. I… Continue reading Black Beans
Meal Plan 05.10-05.16
Hi everyone! Today was 'Double Ad Wednesday' at my local market and I ran over during my lunch break to grab some items so I would have plenty of time to prep tonight. I find the combination of prepping items in advance with meal planning makes my evenings go much quicker! What I bought this… Continue reading Meal Plan 05.10-05.16
The Weekly Grin
Hi all, My husband has been out for these past few days and trying to keep up with my studio classes and all of the housework has left little time for leisurely picture taking while cooking! Over the weekend I hung out with The Girls, and tried out a new Macaron recipe below. Recipes I've… Continue reading The Weekly Grin
Teriyaki Salmon and Shrimp Tempura Sushi
Shrimp Tempura is just my absolute favourite, so obviously sushi with shrimp tempura inside it is also my favourite. I have been making variations of this recipe for years and I have finally started to add some more fancy details to it that make me happier with my recipe each time. This recipe is best… Continue reading Teriyaki Salmon and Shrimp Tempura Sushi
Homemade Seitan
Seitan has been a surprisingly wonderful thing to play with after I found a soy allergy. I had previously tried to use tofu and tempeh for various faux meat products but for some reason my throat kept getting super scratchy and swollen (hm, I wonder why?). I'm not going to lie, the first few Seitan… Continue reading Homemade Seitan
