My little food and beverage blog is celebrating its one year birthday on March 6th! I can’t believe a year has gone by already and I especially can’t believe how much I have learned in a year! From food photography and styling (still learning lots there!) to light web coding (lots more to learn there too) and social media engagement (wow there are a lot of platforms to engage on!) – I am excited to hit the ground running in…
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…
Making fries or chips from vegetables other than potatoes seems to be somewhat of a trend, and I thought I would jump right on that bandwagon and make acorn squash fries. When I cook with squash, I usually choose butternut squash because I find it sweet and when it roasts it seems to get tastier and sweeter! I have used it in salads and pasta like sausage and butternut squash sauce pasta. Cooking with acorn squash isn’t foreign to me, but doing anything…
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…
Let’s’ talk about wine. Today happens to be National Drink Wine Day, so it is a perfect opportunity to discuss my affair with wine. If you have been reading my blog for a while now, you probably know I love craft beer and might be wondering why I am talking about wine and not beer right now. Am I having an affair on those delicious, hand crafted 355 mL brown bottles filled with liquid hops, malts, barley and other grains? No,…
I love vegetables and dip and I love chips and dip; but that dip usually doesn’t fair well with my waist line so I am always looking for new dips to make that are healthy and tasty! Enter roasted garlic beet hazelnut dip! This recipe is inspired by a beet and walnut dip that I stumbled upon in one of my many Pinterest sessions. First, I don’t really like walnuts that much; I find them bitter and dry. Do you…
I’m on a muffin kick and these Greek yogurt whole wheat blueberry muffins are one of my favourite latest creations. I have been baking muffins every weekend to add to our weekly lunch snacks and have been loving them! Every week I am trying different spices with different fruit or berries and am loving every week’s new creations! This week I tried out blueberry muffins made with greek yogurt, whole wheat flour and for some spice, cinnamon. They were great!…
Happy national homemade soup day! What a great food to celebrate! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love homemade soup! Homemade soup is something I make a lot in my house – usually to use up vegetables in the fridge or to use up leftovers from big dinners like Thanksgiving or Christmas. I have had my blog running for almost a year now and I have posted eight homemade soup dishes that are all delicious and are worth rounding up…
