Now that I am back home in Canada, it is time to put the New Orleans spices I bought to good use starting with this red beans and rice recipe! I haven’t written a recipe blog post for a while now because I was blogging about my trip! Part one, two and three are all posted for your viewing pleasure! š
All good vacations must come to an end. But before I get to the end of this amazing vacation, let’s jump right into day 5! If you missed the first two parts of my epic New Orleans vacation so far, check out part one and part two!
I am now in love with NOLA … the smell of beignets in the air… the sound of beads hitting the pavement from balconies above… the incredible live music in almost every place you enter…. and the food… the incredible food. If you missed day 1 and 2 of my trip, check it out here! Day 3 in NOLA is a day where Eric was in his IMSA sessions for the most part. We started out with breakfast together where…
Hey ya’ll! I am down in New Orleans, Louisiana! It is quite incredible down here; especially the food and craft beer scene! The heat is intense – something I am not used to at all. When you go from a dry area of 24 degrees, feeling like 24 degree to NOLA of 32 degrees, feels like 45 (what!? I know!), it’s a shock to the system… and hair… I have been here for two days so far and I have…
I love salad rolls. Anytime I am in a place that has them on the menu, I just have to have them! I don’t know if it is how fresh they taste, or if it is the sweet and savoury peanut dipping sauce, or everything combined; but they are one of my favourite foods. I will have them as an appetizer, snack or as a meal; so it was only natural that I needed to try and make them myself! …
Sometimes my fridge needs a good cleaning and when I need to get rid of a good portion of produce, cheeses or meat, I will make a frittata! A frittata is an egg based dish that is similar to a crustless quiche. It is a really good way to clean out the fridge and not waste! Below is my recipe that can be anyone’s recipe depending on what you have in your fridge. As long as you have some vegetables, some meat…
I really like hefeweizen beers. For those of you who aren’t sure what I am referring to, a hefeweizen beer (a.k.a. hefe-beer) is a wheat beer that is in its traditional unfiltered form. Because they are unfiltered, they are typically cloudy looking and golden-yellow in colour. They are great summer beers! On a regular visit to the liquor store to see what is new and exciting, I stumbled across a case with a variety of hefe-beers and HAD to buy and…
Everyone likes a quick dinner idea. At least I know I do. Who wants to slave away in the kitchen after working a full 8 hours?! This recipe was inspired by not having a plan for dinner. I almost always have a weekly meal plan and most of the time I follow that plan. This week was a little different. We were on vacation for a week and every time we come back from vacation, our routine is a bit messed…
