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…
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…
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! 🙂
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!

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…

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 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 grilled Asian beef skewers are perfect for those days where you want something quick and not made in the kitchen. The flavours are basic Asian flavours that I like to work with a lot, like ginger root, soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds and oil, and rice vinegar. They work…

Mmmmm…. cheesy goodness…..
