I really should have though of this recipe sooner. Avocado on a burger has been the standard around here for a while (hi, Green Chile Chicken Burgers, Sweet Potato Turkey Burger, and Super Food Black Bean Vegan Burger). Why it took me so long to put the avocado in a burger I do not know. Naturally, you should probably top your Avocado Burger with avocado slices. Avocado IN the burger and ON the burger....

I only wish I had the foresight to take a photo when I was making the Satay Chicken with Peanut Sauce and it went drastically wrong. In preparation for sharing that recipe, I tested out a few of my favourite peanut sauce recipes, trying to decide which to share. One of the recipes called for simmering the sauce before pureeing it. I FORGOT that pureeing hot liquid = disaster. Do you know what happens when you do this?...

To check if your baking powder is still active, pour 1/4 cup boiling water over 1/2 tsp baking powder. If it bubbles, it’s still good. If not, it’s no good! Background Dead baking powder is a common cause of cakes not rising, even if it’s not past the due date. This is because factors such as heat, humidity and jars not properly sealed will reduce the rising power of baking powder....

If you do not have a oven, you can refer to my pressure cooker cake post and bake it. This recipe makes a large 8 by 8” cake that serves 16.

Good thing I decided to shoot those doughnuts (even though I’m not too thrilled with these pics). Because whatever post I had planned to share with you today had to be postponed and I suddenly had an editorial hole that had to be filled. (Oh the life of a food blogger…)

Creamy and cozy this healthy version of broccoli cheddar soup is inspired by the infamous bowl at Panera Bread, a soup that has now been enjoyed by multiple generations of our family. One of the most fun parts of being an aunt is seeing my nieces fall for the same foods I loved as a kid, which lately means trips to Panera. My orders have evolved over the years (meaning I now order things for lunch besides a bagel with double cream cheese), but a constant when the weather turns cool is the cheesy broccoli soup....

This cabbage potato recipe is one of our favorites & my kid love this rolled in their rotis. Sometimes I just substitute potatoes with green peas and it tastes equally good that way too.
