I'm guessing this article won't make me very popular - but that's never been my thing so I'm going to write it anyways. I have often wondered about food trends, I mean where do they come from, who decides what the cool thing to eat is at the moment, and why do people blindly jump on … Continue reading Please stop putting things on toast…
Vegan almond salted caramels
Ok, so I'm not vegan, I'm not even vegetarian. I'm just more conscious of things now then I was before. So we try to eat vegetarian in our house at least 3 times a week, eat more fish and less red meat, pork and poultry. So far, I find that part to be pretty easy. … Continue reading Vegan almond salted caramels
Pineapple, coconut & mint popsicles
Summer time is for sunshine and frozen treats. At least that’s one of the things I remember from when I was a kid. It seemed when school ended my parents were a little more lenient when it came to treats. Freezies, popsicles and ice cream became stables in our summer diet. Don’t worry, we counteracted … Continue reading Pineapple, coconut & mint popsicles
Ratatouille style pasta
As we try to eat more vegetarian in our home, I'm experimenting more and more; and so far it's been turning out pretty great! We eat zucchini noodles quite often and I have come to really enjoy them, which is a little shocking because I used to really dislike zucchini. I always thought of it … Continue reading Ratatouille style pasta
Blueberry vanilla scones
I have to admit, I am not a scone fan. I'm not really a pastry fan period, but scones I especially don't like. I always find whenever I get them, they're hard and kind of flavorless and I have to chew the tiniest piece for what feels like hours to get through it. Just not … Continue reading Blueberry vanilla scones
Corn and feta salad with fresh lime
Summer time always has me feeling salads. I'm not big on spending a ton of time in the kitchen when it's toasty outside, so quick, fresh and easy ingredients are my jam. I like corn, corn on the cob mostly, but I do like corn. I don't eat it all that often as I find … Continue reading Corn and feta salad with fresh lime
Watermelon and feta salad with dried cranberries and toasted pumpkin seeds
Well I think by now you know that I love watermelon. I'm pretty sure I always did. It was a treat for us in the summer to be able to munch on slices of watermelon all day long in the sunshine. It's still one of my favourite memories from staying at my grandparents. We were … Continue reading Watermelon and feta salad with dried cranberries and toasted pumpkin seeds
BBQ cauliflower with a sweet sumac sauce
Cauliflower has been a relatively new ingredient in our home. I've always really enjoyed it, I just wasn't totally sure what to do with it. As kids it was always boiled and garnished with butter, salt and pepper, or if we were really lucky - some kind of cheesy (probably Velveeta) sauce. Otherwise it was … Continue reading BBQ cauliflower with a sweet sumac sauce
Potato and artichoke salad
This is one of my favourite potato salads, because it is so different from what I grew up on. Don't get me wrong, I love old school mayonnaise filled potato salad A LOT; but I like to switch things up. I first made this salad years ago, trying to find a way to get rid … Continue reading Potato and artichoke salad
Basil & burrata spaghetti
Burrata is one of my favourite cheeses, it's sooooooo good. I mean look at it! We don't eat pasta all that often at our house anymore, and when we do, we often look for noodle alternatives (like zucchini, or spaghetti squash) and simple ingredients like lemon, a cheese, and fresh herbs. I was grocery shopping … Continue reading Basil & burrata spaghetti
