Chestnut Ale Turkey Chili

Chestnut Ale Turkey Chili

For 2017 I am changing the way I review craft beers. What I will do is continue to enjoy craft beers and post my reviews on my Instagram feed, and then once a month I will select one beer to review for Chews and Brews, and also use it in a recipe! That way if you aren’t totally a beer drinker, you are still getting a recipe out of the weekly post from me, and if you are a beer…

Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup

Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup

If you know me or have been following my blog you know two things about me: I love soup and I love spice. This roasted carrot ginger soup is packed full of flavour with the caramel roasted flavours of the carrots, fresh ginger, coconut oil and milk and spicy garam masala and Aleppo chiles. Without further ado, here’s the soup!

Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

Who doesn’t love stuffed chicken!? Or stuffed anything, for that matter, especially when guacamole is involved, in my opinion! Last week I shared with you a homemade guacamole recipe and now I am using that recipe to make guacamole stuffed chicken. I won’t bore you with how amazing this actually turned out and instead get right to the recipe! 

Guacamole ~ Quick and Easy!

Guacamole ~ Quick and Easy!

Guacamole is crazy easy to make; I make it all the time in minutes and it tastes amazing with chips, on a burger, or stuffed in chicken. Usually I make guacamole just for chip dipping, but this batch is for my guacamole stuffed chicken! You only need five ingredients to make a tasty guacamole, and it is ready literally in minutes. But if you make it and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours (if you can…

Corn Chowder

Corn Chowder

Corn season has come and gone but maybe you stocked up and froze a bunch of those tasty, starchy kernels for another day; another day to make corn chowder, of course! I made this while corn was still in season, but if you are following me, you know I took a break in September and October, updating old posts, and then went to Peru in November! If you don’t have corn stashed away in your freezer, you could use frozen…

Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Mango Mint Salsa

Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Mango Mint Salsa

I love mahi-mahi. It is by far my favourite fish to eat. If you don’t really like fish, I suggest giving mahi-mahi a try. I don’t find it very fishy; instead it’s more meaty and has a very mild flavour to it. The best way I love cooking mahi-mahi is grilled and that’s what I am going to show you today, topped with a mango mint salsa. This recipe is so simple making it a perfect weeknight meal, which is my kind…

Red Pepper, Spinach and Cheese Chicken Rolls

Red Pepper, Spinach and Cheese Chicken Rolls

It’s a weeknight and you are just getting home from a long day and the last thing you want to think about is what to make for dinner. Ordering in is not an option because you already ordered the last three nights in a row and frankly you can’t handle one more processed, overpriced, high sodium and fat piece of pizza, burger or tin dish of whatever Western Asian cuisine is in your neighbourhood. I’ve been there and the best plan…
