It’s been a while. I’m sorry. I’ve had somewhat of a social life over the last week which has resulted in a fair number of dinners out. I’m not complaining. I’ve had quite a few excellent meals as a result. However, it’s really set back my recipe testing. It’s over for now though, so I […]

A summer pasta
Another vegetarian option from my recent foray into meatless meals. This one tastes even better as leftovers as it does on the first day. It was almost as if it just needed some time for the flavours to really come out. It was super easy and totally delicious. I actually came across this one while […]
Cauliflower Buffalo Wings?
We’ve been trying to make an effort in our house to have 2 vegetarian days a week. It came about almost by accident. Part of it is because I don’t often dream about meat or feel an overwhelming desire to have meat with a meal. Meat is often the last part of a meal that […]
Caprese salad
I love Chrissy Teigen’s new cookbook: Cravings. Every recipe that I’ve tried has tasted amazing. The directions have been straight forward and the ingredients have been reasonably easy to track down. Last weekend, we went to the St. Lawrence market to pick up some fancy cheese. I’ve professed my undying love for cheese here before, […]
Mockolate
I’m always skeptical of recipes that try to imitate another ingredient. When I found a recipe for vegan chocolate bark, I immediately remembered that episode of Friends where Monica was hired to come up with recipes using “mockolate”. They all turned out horribly. My expectations were pretty low when I started making the recipe. I […]
Hacks that don’t really work
Sometimes I give myself a few days between deciding to make a recipe and actually getting around to doing it. Other times, like tonight, I decide what tonight’s meal will be around 430pm while cruising the grocery store. This can lead to some issues if recipes require ingredients to be in a certain state (read: […]
You can really taste the kale
I will freely admit that I like kale. More often, I will have kale by itself in the form of chips. I know kale isn’t for everyone. When you make kale chips yourself, they smell pretty bad, but they’re really easy. Preheat your oven to 400F. Strip the leaves away from the thick stems of […]
Super indulgent chicken
This recipe is REALLY indulgent. It’s really rich and very filling. It’s also a little fussy and kind of a pain to prepare. It falls apart easily. It is, however, a combination of some of my absolute favourite things: Bacon wrapped-Avocado stuffed-Chicken breasts. First, preheat your oven to 450F. After that, let’s get started on the […]
