Everyone likes a quick dinner idea. At least I know I do. Who wants to slave away in the kitchen after working a full 8 hours?! This recipe was inspired by not having a plan for dinner. I almost always have a weekly meal plan and most of the time I follow that plan. This week was a little different. We were on vacation for a week and every time we come back from vacation, our routine is a bit messed…
This post brought to you by Weber Grills Canada. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Chews and Brews. Celebrate Canada with Summer Grilling! Having a birthday in the summer is a blast. But it’s not my birthday; it’s Eric’s. And because his birthday occurs in the summer, he always gets to do his favourite summertime thing – grilling! Together we methodically planned out his birthday dinner around the grill. Steaks; shrimp; barbecue roasted potatoes and vegetables; and…
I went to Costco and came across a HUGE pack of fresh, live mussels for $12.99. I have no idea if that is a good deal or not since I have never bought mussels before, but it seemed decent. Now I needed to find a way to cook these weird little mollusks. Searching among many recipes, it seemed that most either steam them in a rich red, tomato based sauce or a creamy white sauce. I decided that since the pack…

I really like tacos or anything of the Mexican fare; but mostly I like fish tacos. Making tacos is fun; it isn’t to hard to do and super satisfying in the end! One feat I still need to endure is making my own tortillas. That is for another day; another post. Today I am using packaged tortillas, filled…
Kale sausage soup! What?! Kale again!? Yes, kale again! I did say in my sautéed kale and chard recipe that I am not over the kale trend. I also recently used kale in the Kale and Garlic Pasta and the Kale Salad that went with my Gorgonzola Stuffed Burgers! It is pretty clear that I really like kale and I refuse to stop using it! I don’t eat a lot of soup in the summer. It’s usually to hot (for me)…
I like to grill a lot, and especially when I come home from work on a hot summer day – keep cooking out of the kitchen when it’s hot out, right?! These sesame soy grilled beef skewers are perfect for those days when you want something quick and not made in the kitchen. The flavours are ones that I like to work with a lot, like ginger root, soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds and oil, and rice vinegar. They work…
