When I was a kid I would get kiwis in my lunch to take to school. My mom would cut them in half for me, pack me a spoon and then when it was lunch time I would scoop out all of the kiwi goodness. I’ve always been familiar with the cut and scoop method of eating a kiwi, but when I was offered the opportunity to partner with Zespri Kiwifruit using the SunGold Kiwi, I was excited to incorporate this awesome…
June is the month that kicks off summer and what better way to welcome the warm months ahead but with an orange cardamom chocolate no churn ice cream! If you are a food blogger or a person who follows a lot of food blogs, this won’t be your first no churn ice cream recipe that you’ve come across. It’s kind of all the rage right now and I just couldn’t help myself from jumping on the no churn ice cream bandwagon!…
It’s a weeknight and you are just getting home from a long day and the last thing you want to think about is what to make for dinner. Ordering in is not an option because you already ordered the last three nights in a row and frankly you can’t handle one more processed, overpriced, high sodium and fat piece of pizza, burger or tin dish of whatever Western Asian cuisine is in your neighbourhood. I’ve been there and the best plan…
My husband and I love making our own spice blends and rubs, and lately we have been hooked on our homemade fajita spice blend; using it on fish, chicken, pork and beef! Sometimes…. we don’t even make fajitas with it!! It’s incredibly easy to make in a flash and adds so much flavour that I guarantee you will wonder why you ever purchased the processed blends from the store! You can make your fajita spice blend, seal it in an air tight container and store…
It’s May long weekend here in Canada and I am sitting in my tent trailer camping as I write this. Not my usual camping, I have to admit. I am in a site that has power, water and sewer. None of these services I need. We bring our own power and water and the forest provides us with a latrine or we build a latrine. But it’s May long and we went out without a reservation, so the only site…
What is your favourite meal of the day? Mine is easily breakfast. But it has to be a savoury breakfast. None of the sweet syrups, sugary berries or whipped cream for me! I want salty, fatty bacon and sausages and creamy egg yolks please! However, if I ate the way I really wanted all the time, I would be having some weight problems, so to lighten up my savoury breakfast craving, I made these chicken breakfast sausage patties! They are…
Cinco de Mayo is coming up and I will have two recipes for you to help celebrate. I cook and eat Mexican all year round because it is one of my favourite cuisines. I even have a huge cookbook called Mexico that I often look for inspiration. To start my mini-Mexico series of two posts, I bring to you homemade red enchilada sauce. It is way better than anything you can buy in a can and is not hard at…
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…
