Chocolate + banana bread? What’s not to like? Yes, yes, there are banana bread purists out there, I know—I was one of them. Plain banana bread with spices or a crumble topping was as far as I’d go. Thing is, I had some bananas that needed to be used and a mad chocolate craving. So …
Ah prosciutto, it can crisp up as lovely as bacon, but has a richer flavor. It mixes perfectly with roasted brussel sprouts. I can eat this dish as dinner, it’s got enough to keep me feeling full with the egg on top. It’s also a great side dish or appetizer for a family meal. Nothing …
I love making vegetable rolls at home, it makes me feel fancy! Of course I’m too chicken and unqualified to make actual raw fish sushi. I could add some cooked salmon or crab though. Vegetable sushi or maki rolls usually have ingredients like cucumber (kappa), carrots, avocado, sweet potato, tempura vegetables, lettuce, or asparagus. Really …
This recipe is so damn delicious! Even the toughest critic, dear old Dad, loved it. Super simple ingredients and a pretty straight forward recipe.

Tomatoes, avocados, red onion, lettuce and smear of cream cheese on 2 toasted slices of Ezekiel bread. Works well as a breakfast or lunch. Well, well, well, what is this? You know how to make healthy foods? Yeah. What of it! Sometimes you just gotta eat some healthy food to make room for all the …
To bake or not bake the cheesecake? That is the question. If you ask me? I love baked cheesecake, it has an awesome texture that the fridge cheesecakes just cannot reproduce. Plus the eggs really add some richness to it. Adding a tart fruit topping helps balance all that sweet cream cheese goodness. Plus it …
I love me some strawberries and whipped cream! In this recipe I used a chiffon cake instead of shortcake… So I guess you can’t really call it strawberry shortcake, my bad. Ain’t nobody googling strawberry chiffon cakes man! These turned out so good, they are like a classier version of those little processed strawberry shortcakes …
Rum and sugar soaked bananas set ablaze! For those of us who love to play with fire, this dessert is a blast to make. Also, probably a little dangerous, but who cares! It’s bananas! Foster that is… Now setting it on fire is optional, and it will still be super delish without. As long as …
