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…
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…
Spring is near and that means a whole lot more outdoor cooking for us! We pulled out the smoker on the weekend and made a smoked beef brisket that was incredible. Smoking meat is an event that cannot be done in just a few hours. It takes planning and time so if you are interested in creating this recipe, make sure you plan a couple days ahead and start one night before you smoke. All the time and planning is worth it…
Steak and eggs for breakfast is something I don’t have a lot of because I stick to my daily breakfast sandwich. And usually we have steak and eggs when we are using up left over steak from the night before and honestly in this household, that is a rarity. That is, we rarely have leftover steak! To make this recipe happen I had to plan accordingly. I had to buy a steak specifically for breakfast and make sure we didn’t eat…
Roast chicken is pretty much a staple in my house. We often will roast a chicken, have dinner and use the leftovers to make salads or sandwiches for lunches during the workweek. I have been playing around with the many spices and herbs I have from Silk Road and came up with this interesting blend that made an irresistible herb rubbed roast chicken! And the smell… oh my the smell of this herb dry rubbed roast chicken while it was doing…
Tomorrow, January 22nd, is National Southern Food Cooking day and it only seemed proper to pull together a round up of the tastiest southern food cooking there is out there! As a Canadian, living in one of the most Northern major cities of the country, my experience with southern food cooking is limited. However, in August of 2015 my husband and I went to New Orleans, Louisiana where I had my first taste of the south and we fell in love immediately….
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 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…
