Possibly an exaggeration, but ultimately, that’s the kind of dinner I’m looking for during the week. Today’s recipe came about somewhat haphazardly when wandering through the aisles of our new local grocery store. You know you live in a small town when the opening of the grocery store leads to near riot type of excitement. […]

With a cookbooks addiction, I’m hoping to learn some new skills in the kitchen and share them with you.
Our Kitchen Renovation
I’m quite open about my love of cookbooks. In fact, when we recently renovated our house, I was very concerned with finding a spot in our kitchen for those books. Having them on a shelf in a room far away from the kitchen was just not working for me. Now, they’re easily accessible to me […]
Summer Salad
Salads in the summer appeal to me for a couple reasons: I don’t like heating my house any more than I have to and I don’t often feel like having a heavy meal when it’s hot outside. Enter this salad.
How to make a vegetarian steak
Vegetables masquerading as a meat-ful meal? Perish the thought…or not.
Carnitas!
Back in the kitchen and looking for a challenge, I decided to tackle pork carnitas. In fact, I had big plans to make my own tortillas too, but the motivation ran out after several hours were spent in the kitchen. I searched for ages, trying to find a recipe for carnitas that didn’t involve using […]
Soy cured egg yolk
I’m not eating eggs that often. I love eggs and this is very upsetting. In fact, I had blood taken for a food sensitivity test and it let me know that I shouldn’t be eating any dairy, egg whites, corn, peas, or food or drink made using brewer’s yeast. Essentially, all of the things that […]
Mango Apple Ceviche
Happy New Year! It’s the 6th, so I guess we’re getting to the point where it’s no longer necessary to mention that it’s 2018. I have several new cookbooks to share recipes with you this year. Today’s recipe is for Mango Apple Ceviche and it’s really good. It’s from the new Smitten Kitchen cookbook, which […]
Broccoli Bake
Is this the best pasta bake I’ve ever had? Quite possibly. There was a lot of flavour and it was really filling. Oh look! Another NY Times gem: Here! Start by heating your oven to 425F. Cut your 1.5lbs of broccoli (or cauliflower, if that’s what you have!) into florets. Toss your florets with a […]
Super Easy Salad
Kale. How do you feel about kale? This following recipe is a super easy recipe for a simple kale salad. It requires minimal effort, but is quite filling and, without a doubt, healthy! I enjoy it as a main, but it could easily be a great accompaniment to a meal. This is a similar, but […]
This One’s a Banger
I’ve left you for so long, I decided that my first recipe back better be killer. THIS recipe deserves all the praise. It may stop your heart, because it certainly isn’t healthy, but it is delicious. Yes, it’s another NY Times Cooking recipe. Have you subscribed yet? You may want to after you try: “Crisp […]
