I have been busy with doing my weekly Homestead on the Hill videos on YouTube. My video posted yesterday was a lot of fun to film.

Single Use Plastic
So to clarify the issue around single use plastics, the plastic bags that grocery stores used to give shoppers to pack their groceries in are bad for the environment, but if a shopper buys a box of plastic bags to put their household garbage in before tossing it in the bin, that’s not a problem […]

2 Ingredient Biscuits
As you may already know, I am always trying to bake the perfect biscuit. And the good news is, I think I may have stumbled across a REALLY, REALLY good 2 ingredient biscuits recipe! It all started when I was working in the test kitchen with my kids. We were all making personal pan pizzas. […]
Happy New Year
Just a simple and quick Happy New Year to you all. Funny thing, when I started as a teacher it was a bit of a shock to me when the students I was teaching had no connection to Expo 86. Expo had been such a huge part of so many lives in the 80s. Now, […]

I had the opportunity to try a bowl of ramen @horinramen yesterday evening while downtown Vancouver.

A perfect bowl of comfort food.

I baked a small fruit tart in my @scanpan_official pan purchased @houseofknives and even though it had a very sugary syrup like filling, after baking, it slid out of the pan without a hint of sticking. Winning!
