Most of the time, you’ll find it sold in little balls rolled in spices (like zaatar) and drenched in oil. It is the perfect LOW FAT cream cheese replacement and, you can use it as you would with regular cream cheese.

Thoughts and photography tale of a foodie.
Vegetable Broth
I keep a lot of food scraps in my freezer.
Most of them are vegetables, fresh herbs and egg shells because there’s so much you can do with those and it’s almost a blasphemy to throw them out when you spent your hard earned money buying them. It also goes with my “no waste” and “everything should be make from scratch” mentality because it’s very rewarding to create basic staple foods instead of buying them at the grocery. This vegetable broth is a great example of “food recycling” and I really hope you’ll get the chance to try it and make it your own.
Plus, who doesn’t like to know that every pennies spent on veggies will go that much further and you’ll end up having a delicious and personalized broth ready to use in your future creations.

My first Ramen noodles
After spending a decent part of my day learning about these alkaline noodles and why the use of kansui and/or sodium carbonate is so important in the process, I was eager to apply my new findings to make my own ramen noodles. This is my first attempt, after being inspired by other online at making these delicious noodles. As you’ll be able to tell, it’s very simple to make them and so much more rewarding than buying them at the store… although it’s a little more labor intensive.

Spending the day at Intermiel
As I look through my window, I notice the snowstorm. The cold and grey weather has officially settled itself over the city of Montreal, plunging it in to a deep sleep. Although the sunshine is hiding more and more each day, it doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to reminisce about the incredible time Max and I had the chance to spent at Intermiel, at the beginning of November, when the sky was still blue.
Situated about an hour by car off the island of Montreal, in a region call Mirabel, this gem is must see and well known institution in the area. Founded in 1976 by a passionate French couple, newly moved in Quebec, they created what is today the biggest bee keeping company in north America, who recently won the price for the best bee keeping company in the world by World’s Greatest and, with a brand new awesome website where they ship their products worldwide.
Open all year long with more than enough allowed space to sit inside and outside where you may go to enjoy the breathtaking view, taste their vast selection of artisanal products, learn about bee keeping or just enjoy yourself in nature. One of the main aspect that triggered something inside of me was the palpable passion of each individuals working there.

My first post on HonestCooking.com!
I’ve been approved to be a regular poster on the famous website HonestCooking.com, a few months ago, but never got around to post anything because of my busy schedule. Recently they created a bot that goes in each of their columnist’s blog to grab some posts for their site and I’m glad my Cajun Roasted Almonds were the first recipe they grabbed. I’m super proud to be able to contribute to such famous site as honest cooking and I’m looking forward to add more post and hopefully one day maybe do an interview for them? 😛 Ok maybe I think too far already but everybody can dream right? 🙂
Why I decided to drink Matcha Tea everyday
Have you ever heard of Matcha tea? It’s a cancer-fighter, fat-burner, Cholesterol reducer and much more amazing tea! The “magic” power of the delicately selected and grown matcha leaves other green teas FAR behind and if you’re not already drinking some every day yet, you have to start now!
Since I started drinking matcha tea everyday (and sometime more than once a day) I have noticed how much I’m feeling much more energetic, I also sleep better, feel happier and I’m doing a lot more goodness to my inside body that you couldn’t imagine. If you’re not convinced after reading all the arguments and facts about matcha that I will be listing in this post, you’re a lost cause… 😛
