Experimenting in the kitchen and trying new recipes is a great way to tune out at the end of a long day at work, but also a great way to explore alternative cooking methods.

When my colleague took a bite of this chocolate crinkle cookie, he stared at me in disbelief: “WHAT did you put in these?! Is there crack in them or something?!” No, there isn’t crack.

I’ve been watching MasterChef Canada and was inspired by how home-cooks were able to create so many incredible dishes and learned amazing cooking skills by themselves. I hope one day to be able to cook that well. I think my issue is that when I cook, I do what my Mom does: I use recipes… Read more »

I know, I know, you’re probably thinking “Apple sauce…how boring!” HEAR ME OUT! Apple sauce is SO quick and easy to make at home. It’s also tastier, healthier, and cheaper. Do I have your attention now? When I have apples that are too ripe, I make this quick and easy apple sauce to not put… Read more »

I never liked fish, and growing up, it was something that I would avoid at all cost, a trait that I’ve taken on after my aunt. We once did an amazing road trip from Minnesota to Texas, where we ate at a famous fish restaurant, and out of the 10 people sitting at the table,… Read more »
