Happy Monday! I know I posted the last recipe on Thursday (link here) but I wanted to take the weekend to relax and not think about writing. But I am here now and ready to write! I’m so happy with how this challenge went. Going through all my posts to make my faves list was…

Recipe #81: Moroccan Roasted Carrots, Arugula & Wild Rice Salad
Recipe 81. Wow. This is the last recipe I will be posting from this cookbook. Like I mentioned when I first started this challenge, I did skip certain recipes like the alcoholic beverages and a few other things for various reasons. But for the 81 recipes completed, I have to say that this was an…
Recipe #80: Spicy Breakfast Fajitas with Fried Eggs & Guacamole
Many of the past 20ish recipes that I’ve made have been Mexican inspired. Even though they’ve had some of the same flavour profiles and ingredients, they are all still unique and delicious in their own ways. These fajitas were no exception. Adding regular fried eggs to fajitas is a great way to step up the…
Recipe #79: Pineapple Pico de Gallo
Pico de gallo is a fresh salsa, traditionally made with tomatoes. This pico, made with pineapple put a tropical twist on that classic. This was a very summery salsa which almost took my mind off the cold winter outside. Fresh salsa is just leaps better than jarred stuff. If you can, you should always try…
Recipe #78: Kale & Quinoa Salad with Crispy Celery, Plumped Cranberries & Lemon Dressing
I can’t believe this is the fourth last recipe I’ll be making from this cookbook. I will be posting the last recipes every day until thursday this week. I started going through this cookbook back in September and now here I am in March. Time has flown by. I’m a little sad that I’m almost…
Recipe #77: Grilled Veggie Skewers with Cilantro-Lime Rice, Black Beans & Avocado Chimichurri Sauce
This recipe has a familial connection for me. My dad is from Argentina so he loves his chimichurri sauce on steak. We actually went on a family trip to visit my extended family who live there back in 2008. We had traditional asado (bbq) with lots of meat and chimichurri. If you don’t know, chimichurri…
Recipe #76: Butternut Squash Chipotle Chili
I hope you’re enjoying all my posts so far this week. I’m keeping the momentum going with this really good veggie chili. This is a nice mexican inspired dish that is perfect for dinner any night. It has chipotle in adobo sauce which gives a some smokey flavour and touch of spice. It’s also loaded…
Recipe #75: Fresh Taco Salad with Creamy Avocado-Lime Dressing
Here I am, post #75 and I have finally cooked the recipe that’s on the cover of the book! It may have taken a while but the wait has been worth it. I mean, it’s not like I’ve been making other delicious recipes in the meantime 😛 I love tacos and putting all those yummy…
Recipe #74: Crispy Kale Pizza with Marinara Sauce
I’m continuing the final stretch of cooking with this kale pizza. I’ve never thought of putting kale on a pizza, but it works surprisingly well. Combining delicious cheese pizza with crispy kale chips, which are both good on their own, somehow taste better together. This pizza uses the same dough as the heirloom tomato pesto…
Recipe #73: Dark Cherry Almond Crisp
Happy Monday! I know I don’t usually post on Mondays, but I’m going to be switching things up for the next 2 weeks. I have 9 recipes remaining in this Love Real Food cooking challenge so I decided to make/post them all this week and next week. So I have 5 recipes this week and…
