Happy Cinco de Mayo!! If you read my post from last week, you will know that I am using the red enchilada sauce for today’s recipe! You can go back and read it and grab the recipe here. I’ll wait for you to come back. 🙂 Okay, now that you are ready, let’s make a Mexican casserole! Basically it’s kind of like a lazy enchilada recipe. I would say that this recipe is also on the healthy side of things!…
Leeks are interesting to me. They are an allium, like the onion and garlic. But they don’t grow in a bulb like the onion or garlic; instead they have a cylinder of leaf sheaths, which is part of the edible portion of the leek. They have a mild onion flavour and are great in soups and stocks. Today I used a leek to make this turkey leek mushroom skillet. I had a carb loaded breakfast and lunch so I was looking…
Mmmmore mmmuffins!? Yup I am posting yet another muffin recipe! If you read my blog regularly, you know by now that I like cooking and baking with Greek yogurt and love spices especially those from Silk Road. Seems appropriate to post a recipe on cardamom apricot muffins where I use Silk Road spices and Greek yogurt. I have a lot of favourite spices, but cardamom is in the top ten for me. I just love the smell and flavour and when…
Roast chicken is pretty much a staple in my house. We often will roast a chicken, have dinner and use the leftovers to make salads or sandwiches for lunches during the workweek. I have been playing around with the many spices and herbs I have from Silk Road and came up with this interesting blend that made an irresistible herb rubbed roast chicken! And the smell… oh my the smell of this herb dry rubbed roast chicken while it was doing…
I love vegetables and dip and I love chips and dip; but that dip usually doesn’t fair well with my waist line so I am always looking for new dips to make that are healthy and tasty! Enter roasted garlic beet hazelnut dip! This recipe is inspired by a beet and walnut dip that I stumbled upon in one of my many Pinterest sessions. First, I don’t really like walnuts that much; I find them bitter and dry. Do you…
I’m on a muffin kick and these Greek yogurt whole wheat blueberry muffins are one of my favourite latest creations. I have been baking muffins every weekend to add to our weekly lunch snacks and have been loving them! Every week I am trying different spices with different fruit or berries and am loving every week’s new creations! This week I tried out blueberry muffins made with greek yogurt, whole wheat flour and for some spice, cinnamon. They were great!…
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….
