Beef Cheek Chili

On March 15, 2012 · Leave a Comment

As I mentioned in a recent post, I love me some beef cheeks. I like them so much that after first making them I called the butcher to order 5lbs of them so I could always have a stash of beef cheeks in my freezer. They are that good.

When I got [...]

Better Brunch: Fruity Jam Syrup

On March 3, 2012 · 4 Comments

One of the downsides to preserving is that I end up with more jars of goodness than I can use (I mean if you want to call that a downside).  Sure I can (and do) share with friends but every once in a while I’ll poke into the cupboard and find a jar of [...]

Braised Beef Cheeks

On February 12, 2012 · 2 Comments

A few weeks back I was doing my weekly Kensington Market run when I decided to stop in my favourite butcher, Sanagan’s Meat Locker. Sanagan’s is a tiny butcher shop that stocks all types of responsibly raised, local meats. They do a good job of identifying which farm the meat is from [...]

Pork Dumpling Soup

On January 30, 2012 · 2 Comments

As a food lover, I’m always reading about food.  Wednesdays are pure gold when the newspapers typically do their food sections but on a day-to-day basis it’s all about blogs.  Truth be told, I rarely make things that I see on other blogs.  Usually I just get inspired by what I see and either [...]

On January 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Every once in awhile I get these random cravings for things that I rarely eat.  Take this jambalaya for instance.  I’ve had jambalaya less than a handful of times and really don’t have any particularly memorable jambalaya experiences that I can refer. Honestly, I can’t tell you where exactly I had it or who [...]

Food Goals for 2012

On December 31, 2011 · 2 Comments

Every year I try to set food-related goals for myself. They can be pretty boring like eat more vegetables or force myself to be more creative (and delicious) like make more charcuterie.

Over the past few years I’ve become increasingly fearless in the kitchen and that it makes it harder to come up with goals [...]

Tortilla Soup

On December 26, 2011 · 2 Comments

It’s officially winter in my neck of the woods but you wouldn’t know it taking a look at the temperatures and the general absence of snow.  Trust me, I’m not mad at any of that.  I like the idea of the seasons changing and the picturesque quality of freshly fallen snow, but when [...]

Ginger-Sesame Steamed Fish

On December 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I’m always on the hunt for different things to eat.  I go through phases where I’ll eat vegetarian for days on end (unintentionally) and then stretches where I’m basically a carnivore (equally unintentionally).  I often find myself looking for balance and often turn to fish.  Usually my go-to fish is salmon, pretty much [...]
