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…
Hey! I’m back! I have been on a little break from actively posting since the end of summer…. and then went on a trip to Peru! Amazing experience! More about that in the future! Now I am back and ready to share recipes with you on a regular basis, starting with this Chickpea Avocado Salad! So, the story here is, I am walking down Whyte Ave in Edmonton with friends and I run into my aunt and cousin having dinner…
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…
When I was a kid I would get kiwis in my lunch to take to school. My mom would cut them in half for me, pack me a spoon and then when it was lunch time I would scoop out all of the kiwi goodness. I’ve always been familiar with the cut and scoop method of eating a kiwi, but when I was offered the opportunity to partner with Zespri Kiwifruit using the SunGold Kiwi, I was excited to incorporate this awesome…
It’s May long weekend here in Canada and I am sitting in my tent trailer camping as I write this. Not my usual camping, I have to admit. I am in a site that has power, water and sewer. None of these services I need. We bring our own power and water and the forest provides us with a latrine or we build a latrine. But it’s May long and we went out without a reservation, so the only site…
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…
When a two person household smokes a beef brisket, we are left with a lot of brisket leftovers; and the perfect way to make something with these leftovers is to make a gooey, leftover smoked beef brisket sandwich. I don’t want to call this a Philly cheese steak sandwich and cause controversy over if mushrooms and peppers are supposed to be on a Philly cheese steak sandwich; or if mozzarella cheese is the appropriate cheese to use. I don’t want to…
After writing my Chews and Brews birthday post, I was taking a look at all my past posts and realized I haven’t ever posted a pizza recipe and we make pizza all the time! We love pizza, and really who doesn’t? We like making your plain pepperoni and mushroom types of pizzas but also like experimenting with different ingredients and combinations which inspired this butternut squash caramelized onion feta pizza. Also, I had to get rid of half a squash and…
