It took me a while to find my favourite method of breading. I tried to ‘veganize’ my mom’s method of breading schnitzel with garbanzo egg but it just wouldn’t stick. But, batter breading is my new fave! Not only is this recipe vegan, it’s also entirely oil-free. Can you make breaded cauliflower gluten free? I […]

Vegan Coconut Buns (Pani Popo)
Disclaimer: I am not a chef. And I am definitely not versed in Asian cuisine. HOWEVER, I was requested by a coworker to make Vegan Coconut Buns for her birthday. I agreed because I like a good challenge. The morning of, I had a little mini freak-out because I wanted them to be perfect. As […]
Vegan Portobello Breakfast Sandwich
How do make Vegan Breakfast Sandwiches? It’s almost like a challenge for me when I’m out to eat with friends and they apologize that I can’t eat what they are eating. No apologies needed because I’m going to recreate what you’re eating, make it even better, AND make it HEALTHY. That happened a few weeks […]

It’s a traditional German Christmas cake/bread. It’s similar to a fruit cake but BETTER. It’s better because it has marzipan inside […]

Cookies and Cream Cookies
I just realized this is my first cookie post. Considering my blog name, The Friendly Cookie, you would think there would have been a cookie recipe or two by now! The name stands for way more than my love of cookies though. I’m trying to live a friendly life, and by that I mean being […]

I was born and raised in Canada, but I grew up eating traditional German foods. My blog inspiration comes from my comfort food, which includes […]
