Happy New Year! Is it 2020 already?

Well, look no further because this miso butter rotini should fulfill those needs. You’re welcome.
Read MoreOne of my favourite Hawaiian dishes is loco moco. A hamburger patty, gravy, sunny side up egg and two scoops of white rice. Can it get anymore comforting than that? I made a shortcut version of it featuring miso gravy which I actually really enjoyed. Don’t knock it till you try it!
Read MoreWhat to do with a jar of canned peaches? Yeah, my ex gave me a jar of peaches (really puzzled as to why) and I had no idea what to do with it. First of all, I only took with fresh ingredients so I was trying to think of something that I could make with it without me giving it away or growing it in the trash. After much research, I decided to go with a southern-style peach cobbler which, as you’ll discover, is much different than the version you were originally thinking of.
Read MoreAh… I LOVE SPAM. I don’t know if it’s the Filipino in me, but there’s something that’s so satisfying when you open a can of Spam. One of my favourite things to make is spam and kimchi fried rice. Salty, spicy, carb-y - it’s everything you want in a meal. And luckily, this recipe can be made in a quick pinch!
Read MoreWhat is Cincinnati chili? Well…it may not be what you think. It’s essentially a scoop of chili atop a bed of spaghetti with numerous sky-high toppings including cheddar cheese, onions and beans. It may sound odd but hey, don’t knock it till you try it! It’s strangely satisfying…
Read MoreEver get stuck with a big leftover tub of gochujang for that one time you used it to make soondooboo or jjigae or something? Yeah, that happens to me often so I was experimenting on adding gochujang to an American chili and…it worked! I absolutely loved the smoky-sweetness that the gochujang gave the chili - works really well with a couple extra dashes of liquid smoke! Probably my new favourite - cannot wait to make this again!
Read MoreSorry guys, but Brazilian stroganoff is far superior than the stroganoff you might be used to. It’s far from the Americanized version and features a thick tomato-cream gravy and topped with shoestring potatoes or fries. Yeah, I’m not kidding. It’s some seriously delicious stuff. Can’t wait to try the real thing in Brazil one day!
Read MoreAhhhh…I can’t believe how fast I fell in love with this recipe. So simple, so satisfying. Pasta + cream + lemon. LOVE.

Read MorePaellaaaaaa! Who doesn't love paella?! First of all, carbs. Second of all, it’s delicious AF. And third of all, its presentation is so beautiful. If you want to impress a crowd, make paella. Don’t question it, just do it.
Read MoreThese fall days have got me craving soup 24/7. I was inspired by a trip to the Okanagan last month at a corn and halibut chowder I had at one of my favourite restaurants there, Waterfront Wines. The flavour was so rich yet light - a delicate balance which I find difficult to achieve when it comes to chowder. I believe I was able to achieve that with my corn and cod chowder. Recipe after the jump!
