I love Shishito peppers and I planted some in my garden this spring… boy oh boy! July came around and it was Shishito peppers galore. They make for a great snack or side (see my earlier post Grilled Chicken Wings with Shishito Peppers), and I find they are best with Asian flavors. So as you … Continued
I love granola mix and it’s so easy to make at home and probably more cost-effective too! There’s a lot of creative ways to jazz up this healthy delight, but I really love adding spices. The best one I’ve tried so far is Healthy OnYou® Spice Spice Baby Asian 6 Spice mostly because of the … Continued
This is what weekends are made for! I really love cinnamon raisin bread. It’s such a treat when toasted with a little bit of homemade jam.

This pie-filling is amazing because it uses high-quality grade B maple syrup which is unrefined and we use less than normal. When blueberries are in season late summer, there’s no need for heavy amounts of sugar. They are naturally sweet! I also use a … Continued
I’m getting into the healthy food bowl craze after all! I love this amazing bowl of incredible flavors to create a sweet and spicy hoisin sauce, fresh steamed broccoli, tofu and noodles. Homemade hoisin sauce is so much better when you make it yourself. It’s free of preservatives and all the junk that’s in the … Continued
I have to admit, this one made my hubby smile with delight. He loves baked fruit and we had quite a bit of Italian plums from our trees on Orcas Island. The plum season is very short and we rarely overlap when the fruit becomes ripe. This year, we were lucky and I harvested 8-10 … Continued
