I make salmon pretty often, and this miso honey-glazed version is one of my favourite ways to prepare it. The glaze takes just a few minutes to mix together, which makes it a good option for busy weeknights when I want something flavourful without spending too much time in the kitchen. Honey and miso work…

Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli Bowl
Chicken lemongrass vermicelli is one of my favourite meals when I’m craving something fresh but still filling. You get tender chicken marinated with fragrant lemongrass, served over soft vermicelli noodles with fresh vegetables and herbs. It’s a popular Vietnamese dish, and I love how the bright, fresh flavours come together in one bowl. It’s also…
Panko Breaded Cauliflower Bites
I find myself reaching for recipes like this when I want something satisfying but don’t feel like spending ages in the kitchen. These cauliflower bites are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and easy to throw together. You can also change up the seasonings or serve them with whatever dip you have on…
Easy Shanghai Noodles
Shanghai noodles were a regular dish in my house growing up, and I was usually the one going back for thirds. Now that I’m the one making them for my own family, I appreciate them for a different reason. They’re quick to make, everyone enjoys them, and I know my boys will actually sit down…
The Perfect Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls
There’s something about the smell of fresh bread baking that just feels comforting, especially when it’s a batch of these pull-apart dinner rolls. I’ve been baking for years, and this is one of those recipes I keep coming back to. I’ve made little changes along the way to get it just right for our family,…
Beef Pepper Rice
Back in 2011, I was walking through the streets of Hong Kong when I came across sizzling beef pepper rice, and it quickly became a favourite. I still remember that first bite. The sweet and savoury flavours worked so well together that I kept going back for more. It was one of those dishes I…
Traditional Homemade Potstickers
Making potstickers at home is easier than you might think, and once you get the hang of it, they’re fun to make in big batches. The smell of them cooking always takes me back to my childhood. My mom used to make huge batches, and there were almost always some tucked away in the freezer….
Gamjatang in Your Kitchen
I used to think making gamjatang at home was way too complicated. I remember a friend from high school telling me it was one of those dishes that was easier to order at a restaurant because of how long it takes and how many steps are involved. I took that to heart and never really…
Healthy New Year’s Resolutions for 2024!
As we head into a new year, I’ve been thinking more about what actually makes me feel good. I’m not interested in going on some extreme diet or spending hours at the gym. Realistically, I have kids, a home to look after, work, and plenty of other things going on. There’s only so much time…
Plant-Based Nutrition for Beginners
Lately, I’ve been trying to add more plant-based meals into my week, and I know a lot of people are doing the same. But I think the term plant-based can sound a little intimidating, like you have to give up meat, dairy, and all the foods you love. That’s really not how I look at it. For…
The World of Mochi Donuts
Mochi donuts are something special, my kids are totally in love with them. What I love about mochi donuts is their chewy texture. They’re different from regular donuts, especially the ones shaped like little rings, often called pon de ring. They’re soft but have a bit of a bounce to them, almost like mochi. Some recipes…
