So as you may have noticed, if you’ve been following along, I recently have been working on some corn recipes. I made a batch of corn chowder and delicious shrimp and corn foil packs and now I have these tasty cheesy grilled corn mini tarts to share. These bite sized corn tarts are a great appetizer and are kind of ridiculous how good they really are! Once you pick one up, it’s hard to stop! The sweet corn balanced with…
It’s still winter and it’s still kind of cold out. This winter hasn’t been too terribly bad, but still a few cold spells that require good bowls of warm foods, just like this slow cooker curry chicken stew. I enjoy curry and coconut flavours together and like adding in any variety of vegetables to increase that veggie intake. This stew recipe was made to warm us up and it did just that! With just enough heat from the curry to…
When it was still corn season I was working hard to use up the huge bag of corn we bought from a “street” vendor and I ended up trying to recreate a southern crawfish boil type of dish. Living in Alberta, we don’t exactly have access to a lot of crawfish, if any, so I used shrimp. You can make these shrimp and corn foil packets anywhere; in the oven, on the barbecue or over the campfire. For this specific recipe…
If you know me or have been following my blog you know two things about me: I love soup and I love spice. This roasted carrot ginger soup is packed full of flavour with the caramel roasted flavours of the carrots, fresh ginger, coconut oil and milk and spicy garam masala and Aleppo chiles. Without further ado, here’s the soup!
Guacamole is crazy easy to make; I make it all the time in minutes and it tastes amazing with chips, on a burger, or stuffed in chicken. Usually I make guacamole just for chip dipping, but this batch is for my guacamole stuffed chicken! You only need five ingredients to make a tasty guacamole, and it is ready literally in minutes. But if you make it and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours (if you can…
A lot of the time my inspiration to create a recipe comes from looking at leftovers in the fridge; much like these grilled ham and cheese bites. I had half a tub of cream cheese, half a package of prosciutto ham and half a baguette to use up. Yes, these grilled ham and cheese bites are a bit different than your standard grilled cheese sandwich! They are a little more on the creamy side from the cream cheese and salty from the prosciutto;…
Corn season has come and gone but maybe you stocked up and froze a bunch of those tasty, starchy kernels for another day; another day to make corn chowder, of course! I made this while corn was still in season, but if you are following me, you know I took a break in September and October, updating old posts, and then went to Peru in November! If you don’t have corn stashed away in your freezer, you could use frozen…
When I think about an everything bagel, poppy seeds, onion and garlic flavours come to mind. I thought it would be pretty cool to have a plain mini bagel with a light cream cheese spread made up of everything that goes onto an everything bagel, plus more – an everything bagel spread! You could keep this recipe simple by just using onion flakes, minced garlic and poppy seeds, or follow the recipe for more flavours! I went with the typical…
