I love salad rolls. Anytime I am in a place that has them on the menu, I just have to have them! I don’t know if it is how fresh they taste, or if it is the sweet and savoury peanut dipping sauce, or everything combined; but they are one of my favourite foods. I will have them as an appetizer, snack or as a meal; so it was only natural that I needed to try and make them myself! …
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…
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 have an abundance of sage. My husband bought me a huge herb planter this summer and it is about 50% sage, so I needed a recipe that would use a decent portion of it. I thought a sage simple syrup would be an interesting addition to summer cocktails. I have made plain simple syrup before and figured adding sage to the mix would make an infused syrup, perfect for creating unique cocktails. To start the sage simple syrup, I picked a…
Happy Canada Day! Canada Day is one of my favourite holidays. That and Christmas. This works out perfectly because they are six months apart – evenly spread out over the year!
It’s Taco Thursday! I think Taco Tuesday is a thing too – it makes sense that two days of the week be dedicated to tacos. 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…
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…
