Lik It Up :)

Don't worry, this blog is for all ages :)

For those of you who don't live in Vancouver, LIK N2 is a very popular liquid nitrogen ice cream store right in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. Although a relatively new establishment in the neighbourhood, this unique store offers a very casual atmosphere that allows you to enjoy a fun dessert with a buddy or two while watching the smoke spill all over their ice cream "lab" from the liquid nitrogen.

For those of you who don't know, liquid nitrogen ice cream is, well, made using liquid nitrogen to immediately freeze the ice cream while making it! Don't worry, it is safe for consumption :)

What makes LIK N2's liquid nitrogen ice cream different from other places I've been to is that each of their signature creations include a syringe where you can "shoot" some icing or chocolate into your dessert. With this amazing idea, you can control exactly how much icing or chocolate fudge you want on your ice cream. Or, if you are crazy about icing and chocolate drizzle, you can put the syringe in your mouth and eat directly from it!

 Atmosphere wise, LIK N2 has a very cozy, but modern feel. However, the place can be a little bit small, considering how many people visit LIK N2 each night. Pricing wise, LIK N2 can be a little on the pricier side. This is because liquid nitrogen ice cream is not too common here in Vancouver. However, many liquid nitrogen ice cream stores are starting to appear in this area. For the taste and quality of their desserts, the price is totally worth it.

 Try LIK N2 next time you are in town!

Quick and Easy Breakfast

Wow! It has been another hectic week. With the start of the new summer semester, I have been slowly adjusting to the regular routine again. However, having only one online course has proven to be a struggle when it comes to getting into the rhythm of things. I go to work more often and study less than usual. I continue to go on weekend adventures and exploring different hiking trails two to three times a week. No matter how my schedule looks like, I am still VERY, very busy! With so many things to do every week and so less time, making breakfast can turn into a war zone in the kitchen. Fortunately, I discovered a fast and easy breakfast that will not only give me the energy I need for the day, but save me time in the process: Scrambled eggs style omelette and homemade hashbrowns. See below for the recipe! Ingredients 2 Eggs 1 Cup of Spinach 1 Large White Potato (Or 2 White nugget potatoes) Salt and Pepper, to taste 1/4 Onion, Sli...

Food Prep Like a Boss

In the midst of exam season, we all want to save ourselves time when it comes to making our lunch. However, if you are like me who wants to eat healthy, save money, and make something that is delicious, yet simple enough to make in less than 30 minutes (depending on how fast you can chop your veggies), this is the perfect dish for you! This week's feature is the insanely satisfying salmon fillet with saute veggies and linguine in tomato sauce. This dish requires a little more technique than my previous dishes, however, it is still easy enough to make for any beginner cook regardless of age. The best part about this dish is that you can make a whole week's worth of lunch! Simply reheat it in the microwave and you'll have yourself a delicious and healthy lunch ready for you to eat. It'll save you from the temptations of buying fast food for lunch and about $100 worth of buying pre-made meals from your local grocery store, which can be filled with lots of unwanted fat. T...
