I’m conflicted. I want to like sage. I like the smell of it. I’m just not convinced it’s actually a nice flavour. Fresh sage, dried sage, I’m not so sure about either of them. Over the past week, I’ve been making increasingly complicated dinners, mostly as a way of keeping myself awake (thank you 4:50am […]

Sweet Potato Fries
I’m really into sweet potato fries right now. Really really. We’ve had them twice in less than a week. They’re supposed to be reasonably healthy for you, so I baked them to try and keep some of the nutrients in there. On one of those occasions we even ate baked sweet potato fries with SAUTÉED […]
Duck Confit
I’ll admit this isn’t the first time I’ve made this recipe, but I just keep coming back to it because it is so nice. I’m a recent duck convert. More specifically I’m a duck confit convert. I don’t know if I hadn’t noticed the availability of duck or if it has really just become popular […]
Slow as [pomegranate] molasses…
Pomegranate molasses are (is?) really in these days. It seem to be the ingredient du jour. Every food magazine that I read is telling me I need to buy a bottle. So I did. I’m easily influenced. I bought a bottle at one of the bigger grocery stores nearby. I could never have found such […]
Chicken Tonight
I ate garbage last week. Not literal garbage, but it could have been based on how I was feeling by the end of nightshift. I’ve been trying to make an effort to make healthy changes in my life. I want to walk more. I want to eat better. I also want to sit on my […]
Melissa’s Pasta Salad
For me, every time I eat this I am brought back to exactly where I was when I first ate it. A friend of mine made this for me when I was living far away from home and three of us would get together for dinner every so often. I wasn’t venturing too far out […]
Apples & Cinnamon
I never used to like apples. In fact, I was terrified of them. I’m not really sure what it was about them that I didn’t like, but I just knew they weren’t for me. In grade school, the teachers would take us out every fall to the apple orchard to see how apples were harvested. […]
Tasty Udon Noodle Bowl
I’m back on nights. That usually means no original meals and eating plain things that won’t upset my stomach when I eat my lunch around 2am. It’s a bit of a boring week, except when I can find a recipe that requires 1) no grocery shop and 2) about 10 minutes total to make. I came […]
Cheese + Cake + Chocolate = Excellent
I made these chocolate covered cheesecake bites with little to no effort. Also, I was looking to keep my recently cleaned kitchen pristine, so I used my food processor for the majority of this recipe. I googled for the recipe after watching one of those 30 second Facebook recipe videos that just seemed a little […]
That’s Nacho Cheese
I wasn’t really hungry at dinnertime yesterday, so figuring out what to make for dinner was a bit of a challenge. We wanted something easy and light that we could eat while we binge watched The People v. OJ Simpson. We are hooked on that show. It’s really good. Anyway, we settled on nachos. Now, […]
