We’ve talked about soba noodles or at least I have. Have you bought them yet? I’m in love. Well, correction – I would be in love if grocery stores would consistently stock them so I can buy them all. I had to resort to Amazon this week after checking out two grocery stores. One of […]

Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook
Have I mentioned how much I love Chrissy Tiger’s cookbook, Cravings? It is fabulous. Every recipe I’ve tried has been an absolute hit and super easy to make. I’ve been making her coconut rice and thai spiced ground chicken a fair bit, but it all disappears before I can manage to get a decent picture. The […]
Another popsicle recipe
My popsicle game is strong, but I’ve had help. Fany Gerson’s book is amazing. I’ve been getting rave reviews from her recipes and the popsicles don’t seem to last long around this house. This most recent recipe for “quick coconut ice pops” took minimal effort. It did present some challenges and some lessons were learned, […]
Indian inspired tray bake…revisted
In one of my previous posts I talked about this amazing marinade for chicken thighs. I’ve mentioned my love of tray bakes before. Actually, I think I’ve said it a few times. I hate washing up after dinner. I love to cook, but hate to clean. To eliminate (or at least limit) the latter, I […]
Paletas, popsicles, ice pops – oh my!
I’ve discussed my love of the LCBO magazine before. If you’re not from Ontario and feel like having a browse of their recipes, you can check out Food & Drink online HERE. The most recent summer issue included a discussion on paletas. They’re the Mexican equivalent of popsicles but SO much better. They are serious popsicles for […]
My #1 go-to
I’m on holidays from work. I’ve had eleven glorious days free from work. My house is clean, my fridge is full and my laundry is done. It’s probably not going to be put away, but let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves now. I’m really not sure how I fit work into my days. […]
Soba
Soba noodles are just the best. A really decent, somewhat nutty flavour. They actually cook pretty quickly too. On really hot summer days I tend to only make recipes that require very little effort. On those days, I don’t really feel like eating a lot. That kind of explains my lack of posting throughout the […]
Smoky cauliflower
In my last post, I mentioned (and posted a picture of) roasted smoky cauliflower. The recipe was an excellent addition to the indian inspired tray bake. It was also a ridiculously easy addition to the meal. You can find the recipe HERE, but the instructions are super straight-forward. Start by washing and chopping your cauliflower […]
Jonathan’s Sangria
Preface: I’m on holidays for a couple of weeks so I hope to get back into the swing of posting a little bit more regularly. Honestly, I haven’t been cooking anything that interested me enough to share, but things are going to change!! Now please enjoy your regularly scheduled recipe… My friend Jonathan served this […]
Indian inspired traybake
This recipe has become a fast favourite in my house. It takes about 5 minutes of work total and cooks in one pan making it fast to make and super quick to clean up. The magazine version of the recipe, which can be found HERE, calls for the use of drumsticks. I’ve been using boneless/skinless […]
