What is a person to do with 20 portobello mushrooms? I think I mentioned once before that my neighbour often brings home large amounts of food from his job and shares with us. Once he gave us a giant bag of poppy seeds, where I made some poppy seed lemon loaf. I still have poppy seeds… Now he has given us 20 portobello mushrooms and unlike poppy seeds, they need to be used fast or they will rot. To use them up…
Lunch is my least favourite meal of the day. I love food and I love eating, but I always struggle with what to have for lunch. I think it is because I leave for work at 6 am every day, and by the time lunch rolls around, I don’t feel like the sandwich I made… or the soup in my lunch bag no longer seems like it will be enough. That is all until I made this soup! Lemony lentil…
I bought black truffle oil and black truffle sea salt this weekend from Evoolution (a specialty oil and vinegar shop) and knew I had to use it in a recipe right away! On the way home from work on Friday, I opened up both in the car and took a whiff … OH MY …. this stuff smells amazing! So earthy, and mushroomy (not a word, I know!) … and smells like autumn to me! Immediately I thought of pork loin…rubbed with…
Chicken noodle soup solves problems. It’s that simple! When you are sick, have chicken noodle soup. If you are cold, warm up with chicken noodle soup. Come home grouchy from work and need comfort food? Chicken noodle soup!! Not only does chicken noodle soup solve some of the world’s toughest problems (okay, maybe a little over the top??), but it is also extremely simple to make!! After work for a quick meal, Eric and I will often pick up a rotisserie chicken…
Gumbo! What a wonderful dish and word! I just love saying it! I really loved my trip to New Orleans and I especially loved all the food I had there. I hope you are enjoying all of the recipes I am sharing from my experience in the south! Today I am making chicken and sausage gumbo! Gumbo might be my most favourite food I had in the south because it is warm, cozy, savoury and very satisfying! The first gumbo I…
I love pasta and I love trying out new pastas, so when I found this lentil ziti by Tolerant Foods, from Costco I had to grab it and try it! On top of that I had a Spud delivery that had three zucchinis in it, meaning I needed to incorporate zucchini in a recipe soon. Zucchini and pasta go together quite well and adding chicken, tomatoes and ricotta cheese just seemed logical!
Now that I am back home in Canada, it is time to put the New Orleans spices I bought to good use starting with this red beans and rice recipe! I haven’t written a recipe blog post for a while now because I was blogging about my trip! Part one, two and three are all posted for your viewing pleasure! š
Sometimes my fridge needs a good cleaning and when I need to get rid of a good portion of produce, cheeses or meat, I will make a frittata! A frittata is an egg based dish that is similar to a crustless quiche. It is a really good way to clean out the fridge and not waste! Below is my recipe that can be anyone’s recipe depending on what you have in your fridge. As long as you have some vegetables, some meat…
