Homemade Gyoza Wrappers
“Luck is like having a rice dumpling fly into your mouth.” — Japanese Proverb I’m a huge lover of all types of dumplings, especially Japanese gyoza. Living in Japan meant I was able to feed my inner gyoza monster on a regular basis.
Carrot Apple Ginger Soup
Yesterday, a few of you expressed interest for the Creamy Sweet Potato Bake recipe, so I thought, why not kick off the Meal Planning Week with this casserole dish? The rainy and gloomy weather suited it well too. Sadly, it was a bust! It turned out bland and the flavours were just off. It had all the right components- kale, sweet potato, fusilli pasta, homemade bread crumbs, with plenty of creamy sauce, but they just didn’t add up for me. Strangely enough, Eric loved this casserole.
Fake-Out Mac 'n Cheese
have been tumbling out of my kitchen the past few days. I've been seduced, yet again, by those fluffy golden curls of pasta. I've already posted quite a few vegan Mac/Cheez recipes, but this time I was craving a classic bowl.
Lemon Garlic Spaghetti
This meatless Monday thing, I’m getting the hang of it. Don doesn’t like the idea of meatless Mondays (Boys. They like meat).
Bulgogi and Spicy Slaw Sandwich
I made Bulgogi and Spicy Slaw Sandwich last week. It’s the same sandwich I was talking about in my last post. It’s just a simple sandwich of bulgogi and spicy Korean-Style slaw.

Jalapeño Popper Dip
That’s right, you heard it here- Jalapeño Popper Dip! I love jalapeño poppers and have even tried to make them, which didn’t turn out as well as their purchased cousin and were pretty labor intensive. The word labor makes me run the other way.
Healthy Spa Recipe For Breakfast Salmon Sausage Patties
My healthy breakfast kick has left me dabbling in everything from savory oatmeal to smoothies to blueberry griddle cakes. But my favorite recipes have been the offbeat ones, the unconventional breakfasts that I'd never think to try if not for a creative chef recipe. Last week, I got hooked on a black bean-filled omelet; now, it's all about salmon sausage patties. I can't take credit for this concept (that goes to Chad Luethje, chef at the famed Miraval Resort & Spa), but these salmon-based sausages are low-carb, low-fat, gluten-free, and filling. They're simply stunning on their own; the finely-diced texture and chili-cumin spices add a real sausage-like quality and flavor.
