Thai Sloppy Joes

I love knowing what other people eat for dinner during the week. Do they cook a regular rotation of favourites or try new things? How do they grocery shop? One big shop on the weekend or little shops throughout the week? Do they plan specific meals or just create meals on the fly? I’m obsessed. […]

Kung Pao Chicken Tacos

I’m obsessed, OBSESSED I say, with these Kung Pao Chicken Tacos that I found on How to Eat over my Christmas holidays. I met the lovely Dara & Erin at the Food Bloggers of Canada conference last year, and their blog is one of my favourites that I’ll visit if I want some fresh, healthy […]

Pork Kabobs, Rice Pilaf & Coriander Cream {Gastropost Mission #12}

August 28, 2012 Beef & Pork

I was originally going to do some type of s’mores situation (skewered graham cake, homemade marshmallows, hot fudge dipping sauce), but I took things in a more savoury direction.

Toasted Quinoa Salad with Cumin-Lime Dressing

August 23, 2011 Gluten-Free

I am a huge tomato snob. There’s nothing worse to me than pale orange, mealy, out-of-season tomatoes; the kind you see at Subway or Extreme Pita, or every grocery store between October-July. I try to avoid them as much as possible.

Roasted Acorn Squash with Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette

February 13, 2010 Elimination Challenge

I’ve been eating a lot more veggies on this Elimination Challenge, some new for me and some I just don’t eat all that often. I have nothing against acorn squash, it’s just that when I’ve made it in the past, it’s been doused in butter, brown sugar and rosemary. Mmmm. I had seen this recipe […]

Warm Butternut Squash & Chickpea Salad

February 8, 2010 Elimination Challenge

Here’s my first Elimination Challenge Dinner! I have wanted to try this for the longest time, after Nicole made it and raved about it last year. I was able to make the recipe as is, without any substitutions, and it was absolutely amazing. You roast diced butternut squash in the oven with some garlic, olive […]
