Hello hello! I know it’s already a week into the new year but I’m finally back to posting! I’m happy to be back on here sharing the foods that I make! I’m continuing my Monday tradition of making a recipe from the Bad Manners Food cookbook – Thug Kitchen 101. Today’s recipe is the “Flautas…

Taco Salad Bowls

Is there anything more summery than a super colourful and fresh salad? Today’s recipe is from Thug Kitchen 101 cookbook. You know I love Mexican food so having all the flavours of a delicious taco in the form of a salad is a perfect way to go! This was one of the most colourful salads…

Chickpea Noodle Soup

I know it’s almost mid-May and the weather is getting a little warmer, but I still love a nice hot bowl of soup. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, I will always enjoy a steamy soup. Today’s recipe is such a classic recipe too which makes it better. This is Chickpea Noodle Soup…

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 #70: Tuscan White Bean, Kale & Farro Stew

Meal in a bowl, that’s what this was. It’s one of those soups/stews that is an entire meal because it has grains, protein and tons of veggies. It was nice comfort food and the recipe yields a huge pot of stew so it’s perfect for second helpings or leftovers. I’m so happy with how this…

Recipe #67: Zesty Black Bean & Corn Salad in Lettuce Cups

I’m a fan of nice bean salad. It needs to have lots of bright flavours and textures or else it can be a little boring. There was nothing boring about this salad. It was super fresh with the cilantro and zippy with the lime juice. It also had lots of texture from the radish and…

Recipe #62: Colourful Weeknight Burrito Bowls

Yesterday’s chai latte (link here) may not have been the biggest success for me, but this burrito bowl was another story. A big bowl of cilantro lime rice with colourful bean and cabbage slaw plus guacamole and cheese. Yes. Please. Each component of these bowls was flavoured so well that it all tasted good in…

Recipe #55: Black Bean Tortilla Soup with Sweet Potatoes

I’ve never had tortilla soup but it sounded pretty good just reading through the recipe. It’s a tomato based soup with beans and tons of veggies, as well as yummy toppings, including homemade crispy tortilla strips. I couldn’t wait to make and eat it. It did take a bit of time to chop all the…
