Mashed parsnips aren’t the prettiest of dishes… I mean that in the nicest way I can, but really it’s a white vegetable in which in this recipe I am adding brown ingredients to… So in the end I am left with a white-ish-brown-ish bowl of mashed stuff… but they sure make a great tasting side dish for a roast beef dinner! Despite their unattractiveness, I love parsnips and I buy them all year round. They are a root vegetable that have a…
Tomorrow, January 22nd, is National Southern Food Cooking day and it only seemed proper to pull together a round up of the tastiest southern food cooking there is out there! As a Canadian, living in one of the most Northern major cities of the country, my experience with southern food cooking is limited. However, in August of 2015 my husband and I went to New Orleans, Louisiana where I had my first taste of the south and we fell in love immediately….
So there I was, once again, staring at the vegetable drawer in my fridge, looking for those that were nearing the end of their lives, when I spotted a bag full of baby bok choy. I had just used some of it in my turkey ramen noodle bowl and wanted to try something different to finish it off; something that wasn’t a stir fry. Why not roast it? Off to the internet I went to see if there were any…
A bag of each – Brussels Sprouts and carrots – sitting in the vegetable drawer of my fridge, waiting to be together. Or at least that I was what I was thinking! I wasn’t sure if the two would be good together, but I needed to use them both up, (story of my life) so into a pot together they went! It’s the New Year and that means it is time for eating healthy and getting back on track for me….
How do you shorten a title like basil goat cheese stuffed cherry tomatoes and still provide a small detail of what the post will be about? You can’t. Well I couldn’t. Every part of that title deserves to be there and if you try making these sweet little gems, you will know what I mean. The basil pops through the rich creamy goat cheese and the cherry tomatoes aren’t just a carrying pod for the creamy delight; they also add…
Ginger lime chicken is a simple, with few ingredients, healthy type of recipe. After the hustle and bustle of the Christmas and New Years holidays, I like to keep things clean and healthy with a goal of getting back on track. This ginger lime chicken recipe is just that: healthy and simple! If you don’t include the olive oil or pepper, it only required four ingredients! It is full of flavour and can be whipped up and on your plate for dinner…
I was reading a beer magazine recently and read that milk stout goes nicely with chocolate chips cookies; kind of like the adult version of milk and cookies. It gave me an idea… what if I put the milk stout right into the cookie batter to make milk stout chocolate chip cookies?! I started looking around online for some ideas and to see how it has been done since I am by no means a baker! I can create cooking recipes…
Ahhh, Christmas and New Years is over…. and I still have a giant container of turkey meat in my fridge to use up. It’s cold outside, and I don’t want a huge meal again, ever… okay at least for a few weeks anyways. I was trying to find a creative way to use up some of the turkey meat, besides throwing it in the freezer and forgetting about it until summer… Before the Christmas break I went to a new…
