I Am... Challah Tipsy Cake
This Tipsy Cake is based off of a very famous tipsy cake served at one of my favorite London eateries: Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. Mike and I first had lunch at Dinner five(!?!) years ago. We were both slightly obsessed with him, having had some of our first dates in watching his BBC series, In Search of Perfection.

I Am... Classic Yorkshire Puddings
Mike and I have a spare room that we originally intended as an office. There's a row of extremely tall shelves and a wall to wall built in desk. It's pretty nice but we never use it because we like hanging out at our giant kitchen table when we work. So, sadly, the "office" has turned into a spare room where we banish all the things that we want to keep out of sight.

I Am... Crispy Duck Fat Oven Roasted Potatoes
I love potatoes. So much so that sometimes I eat so many that I think I'm going to become one: soft and squishy. I don't really know anyone who doesn't like potatoes, at least in some form or other. And that's the beauty of potatoes, they can be made so many different ways!

I Am... Lemon & Dill Pan Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Mike and I went to watch Arrival the other day. Have you guys seen/heard of it? It's based on a short story and while I really enjoyed it, Mike was a little more, meh. The basic premise, without giving anything away, is that aliens arrive on earth and a linguist needs to figure out how to communicate with them and why they've come to earth. It fits right into my obsession with post apocalyptic/sci-fi type things.

I Am... Turducken Roulade
Here, it's full on Christmas already. The stores are decked out, the Christmas music is playing, and there are already holiday sales. Being that it's only November, it's a long wait to Santa. Mike and I blame the early onslaught of Christmas on the fact that Canada celebrates Thanksgiving a whole month earlier than the US. So, being that we already celebrated Turkey Day (twice because I'm a turkey fiend), I'm happy to share with everyone what we made, just in time for our American friends to plan out what they're doing for the big day.

I Am... Pulses Round Up!
We are in the thick of fall, which means lots of rain and cozy nights in. Basically all I want to do is netflix and eat. That's a thing, right? On the top of my list are foods that are dip-able and eaten with your hands, like miso hummus with crispy onion furikake, black dal and naan, and mini red bean dorayaki!

I Am... Mac and Kimcheese Dolsot Bibim-mac
Mac and cheese will forever be one of my go-to comfort food dishes. There's just something about that creamy combination of cheese and noodles that will always be my favorite food hug. I love how you can dress mac up or down, and no matter what, it'll always be a bowl of deliciousness.

I Am... Hong Kong Style Deep Fried Nutella French Toast
Hong Kong style French toast is one of those indulgent eats that I almost always ordered as a little girl. My family would often go out for Sunday brunch, Chinese style, at a HK cafe, where, instead of the usual egg dishes like omelettes, there would be macaroni in soup sets, fried noodles, and Hong Kong style French toast.

I Am... Totoro Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
I didn't grow up eating whoopie pies. I guess they weren't really a thing in Canadian suburbia. I do remember Ding Dongs, which are two cakes sandwiching frosting, so that's kinda sort of the same? Actually, it's not the same at all. Really, I have no idea when I first tried whoopie pies or why I decided to make them, but I do remember that the first ever whoopie pie I ever ate was a pumpkin one and I made it myself!
