WHEN TO ADD PARMESAN? In cooking I think it’s always good to learn what NOT to do. When it comes to Parmesan, I like to add it to the pan when it is removed from the heat! Otherwise it sticks to the pan and makes a gunky mess, and doesn’t incorporate into the pasta sauce.

EGG YOLK POSITION?🍳 Egg yolks can break when they smack the pan during a flip. I like to move the yolk closer to the edge = shorter arc for a softer landing

HOW MUCH WATER FOR CHIA SEEDS? Chia seeds: -Absorbs lots of water -Forms a gel that slows digestion and flattens glucose spikes -Packed with soluble fiber, great for gut health and fullness -Rich in plant-based omega-3s (ALA) -Good source of calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants -Support hydration - think: edible water reservoir -Super versatile: toss in smoothies, oats, pudding, or drinks

SESAME MILL Really useful tool! Premilled sesame loses a lot of the flavour and aroma if pre milled! Just like whole vs pre-ground pepper!

PRE-SHREDDED CHEESE?? When making cheese sauce… I like to grate cheese the old fashioned way. It’s coated in something to keep it from clumping, and that can get in the way of a smooth melt.

LOADING THE DISHWASHER?? “If water can’t reach it, it can’t clean it.” That’s the whole idea. How you load the dishwasher can directly affect how well it cleans. I picked up the @boschhomecanada 800 Series Dishwasher (SHX78CC5UC) from @bestbuycanada . It’s designed to improve water spray patterns so more of each dish gets proper exposure. And Best Buy Canada makes it easy to see and compare a wide range of major appliances in store. A few things I really like: • extremely quiet. I can barely hear it running, but there’s an indicator light so you know it’s on • a flexible third rack that keeps cutlery spaced out • excellent drying, including plastics Good cleaning isn’t about using more water. It’s about using it better.

#ZiplocPartner MOM’S FAMOUS PECANS Every Christmas, my mom makes her roasted pecans and our whole family looks forward to them. Since roasted pecans are delicate and can lose freshness quickly, we store them in Ziploc® brand bags. They help keep the nuts fresh so we can make them ahead of time and share them with everyone we love! Ziploc® Stocking Bags are not for sale. @ziploccanada Ingredients: - 400g pecan halves - 40g cold salted butter - 1 tsp salt Method: - Preheat oven to 300°F - spread pecans on a parchment-lined cookie sheet - cut butter into cubes and scatter over the pecans - place in oven and roast for 10 mins - remove from oven, add a tsp of salt, stir and return to oven for 12-13 mins - remove from oven and let cool - enjoy

JAPANESE SPINACH GOMA-AE [👇🏼RECIPE] Servings: 2 One of my favourite appetizers - goma-ae! Super easy and nutrient packed. The dressing can be made while the spinach cools down! Ingredients: - 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (into a paste, a blender is good to use) - 2 tbsp low sodium tamari or soy sauce (I’m using @sanjtamari) - 1 tbsp mirin - 1 tsp sugar (I subbed honey, but it imparts a different flavour) - 1 tsp salt Method: Dressing - add toasted sesame seeds into a mortar, and grind until halfway ground. - add tamari, mirin, money and mix well. optional: -can add all sauce ingredients in to a blender and mix well. Spinach: - add water and a tsp salt to a medium pot and boil - wash spinach well. Mature spinach can collect lots of dirt in between the leaves - when water is boiling, arrange the spinach so all stems are bunched together, and insert only the stalks into the boiling water. Hold it hear for about 1-2 minutes (thicker the stalks, longer) - after 1 minute, dunk the rest of the spinach leaves under water and cook for another 1-2 minutes. - strain and immediately add to ice water bath to cool down and stop the cooking process. - once cooled, squeeze out excess water, and cut the spinach into 1.5-2” chunks - add to a bowl, add sesame dressing mix well and can leave in fridge. Remove about 30 minutes before serving to warm up to room temp
