Cream Puffs

March 12, 2019 by Fareen Leave a Comment

Golden puffs filled with whipped cream and topped with powdered sugar. So dreamy.

It’s March, also known as birthday month. Sure people just celebrate their actual special days, or maybe even the week. Around here, birthdays are an excuse to get spoiled.

I thought it would be a great time to share one of my favourite desserts – cream puffs. Cream puffs are actually one of the first things I learned to make, way back in Home Ec in grade 7. That’s how easy they are. Gosh that was a long long time ago!

Teriyaki hot air fryer wings – crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and oh so saucy!

I have definitely passed my love of chicken wings to my children. What’s not to love? It’s the perfect finger food and always a hit at any party. Also, wing nights are always a great way to enjoy time with friends.

I do have two requirements for wings. The wings have to have a nice crisp coating and they have to be saucy. When making wings at home, we never fry them. It used to be that they were made in the oven but lately, they are always cooked on the bbq before being sauced. Until the air fryer came along.

Take some simple ingredients like cheese and pepper and transform your popcorn into something out of the ordinary. This Cacio E Pepe Pocorn is savoury and so delicious!

With tomorrow being National Popcorn Day, I thought it was about time that I shared this Cacio E Pepe popcorn with you. We love popcorn around here. It makes the perfect snack and obviously the best movie staple. Buttered, topped with white cheddar powder, seasoned with garlic or even coated in candy, we are true popcorn fans.

Wondering what to eat at Disneyland?
Here are our favourites at both Disneyland and California Adventure Park.

We had a fun few days at Disneyland over Christmas. Besides the rides and the characters, the food was a highlight. There is so much that is offered but here are a few that we loved. I’ve separated the two parks to make it easier for when you’re planning your next trip to Disneyland Resort.

If I had to choose a favourite course, it would be appetizers. I enjoy making them and I definitely enjoy devouring them. Serve me a meal of appetizers and I’m a happy girl. The key to a great appy is that there needs to be a lot of flavour in that tiny bite. This recipe with indian-spiced turkey fits the bill!

Creating Memories – The Best Kind of Gift

December 13, 2018 by Fareen 1 Comment

Material gifts are great but experiences gifts create memories – a gift that can last a lifetime.

In the last few years, we decided that the gift of an experience is way more valuable than something material. We have too many things that we don’t need or that we tire of easily. The gift of something that we can do or learn or experience creates memories, which are way more valuable.

Here are some ideas for experiences that you can gift for the holidays.
