I’ve made secret of my lack of affection for chicken. I mean, when there are so many other interesting things to eat chicken just seems so pedestrian. So, I rarely make it. BUT every once in a while I get inspired when I see a pack of chicken on sale to give it another […]
Every time I make another Barefoot Contessa/ Ina Garten recipe it makes me want to write a love letter to Ina. It would go something like this:
Dear Ina,
I know we haven’t met but I’m pretty convinced that we could be BFF. We could make a Vegetable Tian, maybe some […]
Now that I’m off this cleanse I find myself gravitating towards the foods I haven’t been able to eat. There is pretty much NOTHING in this dish that I could have eating while on the cleanse.
I’ve said this before, and here too but I’m pretty much convinced that I was a […]
Babycakes NYC is one of my favourite bakeries. They make a variety of allergen-free baked goods. We’re talking vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free etc. While I don’t have problems with these ingredients I like the idea of “safe” foods. Babycakes wasn’t a regular stop for me while in NYC but every once in a […]
*Sorry I’ve been MIA… BIG test yesterday but now I’m back! AND the cleanse is over! *
I’ll be the first to admit that this looks a bit like a swampy mess but trust me, it was delicious!
I make chili all the time but they are usually tomato-based. Since I can’t have tomatoes […]
I totally thought that this cleanse would make me explore my inner legume and grain lover. Not so much. I haven’t made quinoa once. I had visions of chomping down on various grain and bean based salads. Alas it wasn’t meant to be.
The other day I was feeling kind of guilty about my […]
It’s that time of the month again… time for another Barefoot Bloggers recipe! This one comes courtesy of Kate at Warm Olives and Cool Cocktails (love that blog name!).
When I first saw the recipe I was totally pumped. I love fresh tuna (although I rarely buy it) and avocado is my middle […]
*this is a pre-cleanse treat that I made… oh how I miss sugars*
This is less of a recipe post and more of a “hey, here’s an idea!” kind of post…
The other day I wanted to make a simple dessert so I went for my default apple crisp/crumble (I put the slash because […]
The cleanse is doing some pretty special things to my eating habits. I think because I’m stuck on what I can’t eat I’ve been going to town on what I can eat. Meaning certain meats. In my day to day life I rarely eat chicken, turkey and lamb. The last time I had lamb […]
Around this time of year in Ontario (and probably other places too) fiddleheads become all the rage. Growing up I remember seeing fiddleheas in the supermarket and thinking that they look totally weird. I was curious but not curious enough to buy.
Fast forward to yesterday when I was cruising through Whole Foods […]
