Friends, family, strangers - welcome to my blog! My name is Trina, and I cook and bake as a hobby. I'd like to keep track of my recipes, as well as share them with my friends and family.


Cooking and baking your own food is so much healthier than buying pre-made meals at the store, and even restaurants can be a bit shifty sometimes. When you cook your own food, you know exactly what is going into your meal, and you can make it as healthy, fat-free, and flavourful as you want. Or as fatty and hearty as you want. Admittedly, most of my recipes (so far) are on the fatty, hearty, chock-full-of-meat side, but I assure you there's some of my famous vegan baking (indiscernable from baking with dairy and eggs) recipes in here!

Pink Pickles!

Anyone who's been to a Korean BBQ all-you-can-eat bonanza knows of those delicious little pickled radishes. I love them so much that I found a recipe online and made some myself. It's very easy, and though they're not pickles in the sense that they have a lengthy shelf-life, they probably won't last that long anyway. You'll have eaten them all.

3 bunches of radishes, washed and trimmed
1 c. of white vinegar
1 c. of warm water
1/2 c. of sugar
1 tsp. salt

Cut the radishes however you like - I quartered mine. Then place the cut radishes into two large mason jars. Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt until everything is dissolved. Pour the mixture into each jar until the radished are covered. Screw the lids on the jars, and store in the refrigerator for several days until the red skins have bled out and turned everything pink! They should keep for about two weeks in the fridge.

You can also use an Asian radish, also known as a Daikon. They are much larger. The Daikon is what is actually used for the KBBQ side dish.
