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…

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…

Butternut Squash Caramelized Onion Feta Pizza

Butternut Squash Caramelized Onion Feta Pizza

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…

How to Make Fantastic Fries from an Acorn Squash

How to Make Fantastic Fries from an Acorn Squash

Making fries or chips from vegetables other than potatoes seems to be somewhat of a trend, and I thought I would jump right on that bandwagon and make acorn squash fries. When I cook with squash, I usually choose butternut squash because I find it sweet and when it roasts it seems to get tastier and sweeter! I have used it in salads and pasta like sausage and butternut squash sauce pasta.  Cooking with acorn squash isn’t foreign to me, but doing anything…
