Um…this stuff is amazing. Crispy, soft, sweet, caramely, peanut buttery…. why don’t I make french toast more? Oh, because it’s sorta boring when there’s just toast and syrup. Right… I used to be a total sweet breakfast girl. Loved pancakes and waffles, and anything I could drizzle syrup on. But having since lost a lot … [Read more…]
Grilling season is finally here! Praise be! My favourite thing to grill by far is portobello mushrooms. And I have to say, my husband does them the best. One night I came home late and he had left me a plate of dinner with a grilled portobello on it. I texted him to see where … [Read more…]
Aw yeah, cilantro pesto ya’ll! Basil is no longer getting all the glory (even though it is damn delicious and deserves a lot of glory). This here cilantro pesto though, so good for us cilantro lovers. If you’re like me, ya can’t get enough cilantro, ever. It’s pretty powerful stuff too. Cilantro is an amazing herb for … [Read more…]
This is what I make when I want take-out but know that it’s better, cheaper, and more delicious homemade. It’s sweet, sticky, and so flavourful. Sometimes, you just need a bowl of sticky sweet noodles. Am I right? Of course I am, otherwise, Asian take out just wouldn’t be a big deal. But it’s delicious, so it … [Read more…]
This super seedy granola is nut free, so it’s perfect for sharing with anyone who may have allergies. Plus, it’s damn good for you! Let me be frank, I am a nut lover. However, I was recently on a flight where we were told not to eat anything with peanuts in it, and it got … [Read more…]
If you haven’t guessed, I’m a huge sweet and spicy fan. It’s definitely my fav flava combo. So, naturally, with my trying to eat a lot of Vitamin A for my eye health (which I think is improving!) and therefore eating lots of sweet potatoes, things are getting a little sweet potato crazy. Which I’m still not … [Read more…]
It’s almost picnic season! In fact, some of these days lately could be considered picnic worthy. Yes! Every summer I vow to go on more picnics, spend more time lounging in parks, soaking up the Calgary Rivers, but then somehow it’s fall and we may have done one picnic, possibly two? Oh well, there’s … [Read more…]
I love St. Patricks Day!!! This is one day where I especially miss my home town of Chicago, and my little neighbourhood of Beverly where I grew up. There is no place on earth that celebrates the Irish on St. Patty’s Day like Beverly does. Our own parade, bagpipers, Irish dancers, so much beer, and so … [Read more…]
Here’s a refreshing twist! Sorta like a dreamsicle for adults, maybe? Tart, tangy, frozen goodness. I love my smoothies, don’t get me wrong, but is anyone else just waiting for the day when the farmers markets are full of fresh berries and melons and peaches!? They’re just so pretty I usually can’t bear to put … [Read more…]
Slurp. Slurp. Slurp. Repeat. This Easy Miso Ramen Soup makes you want to do just that. So good. I woke up with a wicked sore throat last week. Blah! I debated going to work, went to work, and then spent all day dreaming about making some sort of savoury salty brothy soup to soothe my … [Read more…]
