One thing I always struggle with during meals is sides. I always seem to do the same things; baby potatoes, corn on the cob, Caesar salad, veggies? This particular grilled corn salad is one that I reserve for the summer, and for good reason. Everything about it is summery and just makes me wanna drink…
Sides
Pressure Cooker Maple Baked Beans
I tried really hard to resist, I really did. I know that the last thing we need in this house is another small appliance, but I wanted, nay, needed, one of these magical machines. Kevin makes an awful lot of fun of me, calls me the “appliance queen”, and despite all the ribbing, he still buys…
Cardamom Cranberry Bread
Look, I have a problem. And the first step is admitting you have a problem… it’s the cardamom, man. I just can’t help myself. I go through ridiculous amount of cardamom. But it’s oh so good. And this bread? Wow. this cardamom cranberry bread is next level. I’ve posted recipes with cardamom before, like my cardamom…
Potato Bacon Salad
This week marked the last of the school days for my two. It’s hard to believe that it was just yesterday we were shedding tears because our oldest was heading into kindergarten! And now… She’s reading, writing, spelling, and going into grade 1! My baby boo, well, he graduated preschool, but he’s still a little…
Drunken Roasted Carrots
Full disclosure: these carrots aren’t really drunk. I mean, they are plants, for starters, also, I used cooking sherry. I wasn’t wasting good, drinkable wine. Ha. Kevin’s mom makes an unreal mushroom soup. Like it’s knock your socks off good. There’s a few secret ingredients in it, but the one she swears by is the…
Soba Bowl and a 30 Day Challenge
I recently read a book that had made me stop and take stock on what I was eating. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the documentary Hungry For Change, but if you have and enjoyed it, this book might be right up your alley. The 30 Day Vegan Challenge by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau didn’t take me…
Salt and Vinegar Fries
One of my favourite treats are salt and vinegar chips. I’m addicted. If there’s an open bag of salt and vinegar chips around me, it’s in my belly before long. I don’t know what it is about them, but just smelling them gets my salivary glands working! Recently, I’ve been on a total homemade french…
Sweet and Salty Potato Fries
I don’t know why fries get such a bad rap. Truly, they are not that bad. But there’s a caveat to that. They aren’t that bad when prepared properly. I LOVE home cooking fries. I have a nifty little cutter, just like this, that works awesome for French Fries. A quick peel, rinse, run through the…
Broccoli Leek Soup
Fall is quickly approaching in our neck of the woods, I mean leaves have been changing and falling for weeks – if not a month or so now. The temperature is chilling off, wind has a bite, the days growing shorter and the nights growing longer. The weather is just going south for winter. Some days…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe
The other day I was rifling through the fridge. Even though I had just eaten. Which really seems to be the norm. And I found a bag of Brussels sprouts that I had bought the other day and forgot about. Which also seems to be the norm. It was 10 am. And I was cooking…
