Growing up I wasn’t picky about food but I knew what I liked and what I didn’t like. While other kids were eating Chef Boyardee and Spaghetti-Os I just couldn’t do it. Similarly I could never get excited over canned soups. One of the few canned soups I would eat (and […]
Sure, I’ve been making my own Larabars and granola for a minute now but I’ve never even considered making my own granola bars. The funny thing is I generally find myself underwhelmed by the granola bars available in the supermarket. They generally have a lot of sugar, the ingredients […]
Soup is definitely key to my winter survival. It’s generally easy to make, makes A LOT and warms me up from the inside out. Plus soup is usually pretty inexpensive to make and is a good way to sneak in all sorts of veg.
One of my goals this winter is to […]
Weekend breakfasts are my favourite. In theory I love going out for brunch but I generally leave feeling like I could’ve made the meal myself. Weekend breakfasts at home usually involve bacon & eggs, pancakes, or ackee and saltfish so if I go out for brunch I […]
This dessert may very well be what ruins me.
A bold statement, I know, but firmly rooted in the truth. It all started a week or so ago when my friend Jaime was coming over to dinner. I knew that I was going to make scallops for […]
In a previous post I wrote about making paneer from scratch. It was super easy and without a doubt I will only make my own paneer vs. buying it going forward (especially since I saw a pack of the stuff for $4.99 at No Frills!). Once I made the paneer I […]
After my recent ricotta-making success I decided to try my hand at making some other cheeses. I was planning on making mozzarella but I have to order cheese-making supplies and that is kind of expensive so I decided to make paneer. I love ordering Saag Paneer when I go out […]
I’m forever on the hunt for amazing macaroni and cheese recipes. Sure, macaroni and cheese is easy enough to make but I’m always looking to find the perfect ration of pasta to cheese to bechamel. My last attempt at mac and cheese was pretty lackluster so I wanted to step up […]
I’ve been having a craving for Mexican food as of late. It was likely spurred by my recent trip to Chicago where I dined at Rick Bayless’ Xoco twice. Toronto isn’t known for its Mexican food so when I have a craving I usually crack open my cookbooks.
I […]
I’m looking out the window and watching the snow and thinking that this would be the perfect time to talk soup. Soup is one of my favourite things to eat when the thermometer starts to head south. Soup is easy to make and rarely requires crazy ingredients. A bonus is that depending […]
