SLOW COOKER VEGETARIAN LENTIL CHILI
Yes, it’s 90 degrees out, and most people don’t want to eat chilli right now. But I’m a chilli lover all year. Back in the day, I worked in an office with its AC set at 68. It felt winter all year. This is not the first time I have experienced summertime AC issues. What about the […]

HOISIN TOFU LETTUCE CUPS
My favourite way to fry chopped tofu is to pan-fry it and then drizzle the sauce. It’s easy, and the options for sauce are endless. These Hoisin Tofu Lettuce Cups were made with just a few ingredients. You can also serve it as a bowl meal if you don’t like lettuce cups. It will still […]
HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE
The “freshness” date of my pumpkin spice was something I wanted to check. Let’s say it hasn’t been fresh for quite some while. Swear that I bought this spice yesterday. But that’s impossible unless it was 2010. Instead of buying a whole new bottle of spice that would be stored in my pantry for the next three years, I […]

PASTA WITH BACON & PEAS
It is a good idea to go through your freezer and pantry every week to find any ingredients you may have forgotten. Half a box of frozen pasta, some frozen bacon and frozen peas. I used my favourite quick recipe (pasta + Parmesan+ greens) and added bacon for a quick and delicious meal. This Pasta […]
