Homemade Creamed Honey

I had beekeeping fever pretty bad this spring. People in the Niagara Region have really gotten into the full swing of beekeeping and I was feeling so left out. Most of the supplies I need can be bought online but I had too many things on the go this year to get it going. So…

Last year it felt like the driest summer ever in Niagara. My garden was so dry that the plants that would have been my fall harvest were crunchy to the touch. The soil blew away in the convection-oven breeze. This summer, not so much! This summer I have seen more rain and some of the…

Regrow Kitchen Scraps: Green Onions

When you buy green onions/shallot from the grocery store they still have the roots intact. Use all the onion you need and leave about an inch above the roots. To regrow green onions, place the green onion in a container with a little bit of water (enough to cover the roots) and change out the…

Chewy Meringues

Chewy Meringues

One time I made meringues and somehow I messed up the recipe and instead of being dry and brittle they were chewy in the middle. Almost like a marshmallow. It turns out that I like them approximately 1000% more that way! I spent some time on the internet looking for a basic chewy meringue recipe…

Whipped Coconut Cream

Have I ever told you guys how much I love coconut milk? Coconut milk and I are in a pretty serious relationship these days. I love it in my coffee or tea. I love using it in place of water in quinoa porridge or cream of rice. I love to just pour it over my…

It is vegan (if you use plant based milk), high in protein, gluten free, low fodmap, and basically a big bowl of superfood. It is customizable and can be dressed up just like your favorite oatmeal. This homemade quinoa…

How To Cook Quinoa In Your Rice Cooker

This might be absolutely obvious to some of you, but I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make quinoa in my rice cooker. My kitchen is full with gadgets so I am very happy to find more uses for a single-purpose item like my rice cooker. I have a very basic model. It has…
