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…

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Kiwi Honey Sauce

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Kiwi Honey Sauce

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…

The 10 Finger Burger

The 10 Finger Burger

What is a 10 finger burger from Jack In The Box ? you asked this? It’s a burger that is so ridiculously big, you need all 10 fingers to hang onto it while eating. When I decided to stuff my burger with lots of tasty sautéed mushrooms and onions and then gooey cheese; and then add loads of toppings like avocado, fresh tomato slices, pickles and an aioli, this burger quickly became a 10 finger burger! There is something to be…

Celebrating Canada Day

Celebrating Canada Day

It’s Canada Day tomorrow and I am celebrating in British Columbia, camping in the bush on a lake; eating and drinking lots, canoeing and fishing and just enjoying my Canadian life. When I thought about writing this post for Canada Day I tried to think about what being Canadian means to me.  As a food blogger, obviously this post will be heavy on the food and I am rounding up some of my very own blog posts, mostly Canadian recipes of course! …

Campfire Cooking: Pull-Apart Pizza Bread and Baked Avocados

Campfire Cooking: Pull-Apart Pizza Bread and Baked Avocados

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…

Mexican Casserole

Mexican Casserole

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!…

Turkey Leek Mushroom Skillet

Turkey Leek Mushroom Skillet

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…

Leftover Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich

Leftover Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich

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…
