One of the best things about my cast iron pan is its versatility. Though some may eschew the process needed to clean and season cast iron cookware, I find once you’ve got the routine down pat, it isn’t much more work than regular cookware upkeep, and can potentially last forever. An added bonus is its ability to make the fluffiest, billowiest Dutch babies for brunch.
Shakshuka is one of those dishes that, upon viewing it, I instantly knew I would like it. Despite not being a huge fan of tomatoes in the past, there was something about the vibrant sauce that attracted me. And when I first sampled the dish, my suspicions were proven true.
During our first trip to Seoul, my friends and I spent way too much time and money at our local OSULLOC. Our favourite location by where we lived in Dongdaemun has since closed, so we made the trek over to another OSULLOC before we left Seoul.
I have to admit, I’m not particularly fond of French toast. However, my sister told me about a stuffed French toast she had at a restaurant once, and the idea intrigued me. Hungry after class, I made a peanut butter & jelly stuffed French Toast, complete with video instructions. Continue reading Peanut Butter & Jelly Stuffed French Toast
Cottage cheese always looked very unappetizing to me when I was younger. Lumpy, watery, sour cheese… I was shocked when I found out people ate this with fruit for breakfast. Continue reading Whipped Cottage Cheese & Jam on Toast
When we got to Vancouver, our first priority was checking in to our hostel and taking a long-awaited shower (it had been 4 days!).
Our next priority was getting a good meal; Catch 122 Cafe Bistro was just down the street from us, so we decided to grab brunch at 3pm.

We were in search of a brunch place to continue our monthly brunch sessions back when Pig was still in Toronto; we decided on Saving Grace without much expectation.
We headed there early and was surprised to see a line of about fifteen people already there; the restaurant opened and the small space filled up quickly.

Pancakes are something I enjoy in extreme moderation. While the first few bites are enjoyable, they quickly become a soggy, mushy mess when syrup is involved.
That being said, my friend tried pancakes at a location in New Jersey, and was determined to go again when we were in Portland. So we found ourselves here on a Friday morning, ready to dig in.
