So there I was, once again, staring at the vegetable drawer in my fridge, looking for those that were nearing the end of their lives, when I spotted a bag full of baby bok choy. I had just used some of it in my turkey ramen noodle bowl and wanted to try something different to finish it off; something that wasn’t a stir fry. Why not roast it? Off to the internet I went to see if there were any…
A bag of each – Brussels Sprouts and carrots – sitting in the vegetable drawer of my fridge, waiting to be together. Or at least that I was what I was thinking! I wasn’t sure if the two would be good together, but I needed to use them both up, (story of my life) so into a pot together they went! It’s the New Year and that means it is time for eating healthy and getting back on track for me….
Ginger lime chicken is a simple, with few ingredients, healthy type of recipe. After the hustle and bustle of the Christmas and New Years holidays, I like to keep things clean and healthy with a goal of getting back on track. This ginger lime chicken recipe is just that: healthy and simple! If you don’t include the olive oil or pepper, it only required four ingredients! It is full of flavour and can be whipped up and on your plate for dinner…
Ahhh, Christmas and New Years is over…. and I still have a giant container of turkey meat in my fridge to use up. It’s cold outside, and I don’t want a huge meal again, ever… okay at least for a few weeks anyways. I was trying to find a creative way to use up some of the turkey meat, besides throwing it in the freezer and forgetting about it until summer… Before the Christmas break I went to a new…
I love coffee. You may think I love craft beer from all the beers reviews I do, and I assure you – I do love craft beer; but java… I have a different relationship with. I have been drinking instant coffee tea bags since my early teens, something I couldn’t obviously do with beer, so right there my relationship with coffee is longer. Also, I can drink coffee first thing in the morning; in fact, it’s kind of the point! I…
It’s only five days until Christmas! If you are in a pinch and looking for a really simple Christmas treat, this recipe takes a little over an hour only, and most of that time is for the setting of the cranberry pistachio white chocolate bark in the fridge. Cranberry pistachio white chocolate bark just screams christmas to me. The cranberries are red; the pistachios green; and the chocolate is white; making it Christmas themed by the colours alone! It is…
Pasta is one of my favourite things to eat and lasagna tops the charts for pasta dishes in my books! I usually make my lasagna with ground chicken or turkey, but I decided to try out a full on vegetable ricotta lasagna for a change. Okay, who am I kidding… I, once again, had a boat load of vegetables in my fridge that I needed to use up in a hurry! I seem to over shop for vegetables, forgetting I…
Borscht is one of my all time favourite soups. It reminds me of spring and summer because of all the fresh vegetables, and it also makes me think of fall and winter because of the warmth and the types of vegetables, that is root vegetables, and particularly beets! Borscht is a soup made mostly from beets, plus other vegetables and lots of dill. It is of Ukraine origin and even though I am not Ukrainian, it is a soup I grew…
