I wanted to like tofu curry. I really did. I wanted it to be the work night saviour of dinners. The simple meal that ends up being so amazing and takes virtually no time to make that everyone loves. This was not that meal. I should’ve listened to the comments on the NY Times site. […]

Monkey bread
Have you heard of monkey bread? I hadn’t and then, suddenly it was all the rage. I wasn’t totally convinced with a lot of the recipes, until I found a kind of half-assed version using Pillsbury biscuit dough. The recipe is actually from the Pillsbury website. It can be found here. It was unbelievably simple. We’re […]
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 […]
I don’t know how I feel about sage
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Martha! Martha! Martha!
I subscribe to Martha magazine. Actually, I subscribe to quite a few magazines, but Martha is one of my favourites. I’m kind of a hoarder when it comes to her magazines too. If I like any of the recipes in the magazine, I end up keeping the whole issue. There are a couple recipes of […]
Take a chance
You know those 30 second recipe videos that come up on Facebook pretty much every day these days? I’m always skeptical of them. I think it’s something about the lack of instructions and the sometimes lacking ingredient quantities. However, I always stop scrolling to watch the video and wonder if those recipes are really as […]
