Just like I’ve done for all my previous cookbook challenges, I will talk about my thoughts and favourite recipes from the Brave New Meal book. This book is very similar in style to Thug Kitchen 101 because it’s the same authors, so it has the wild vulgar language and humour. It obviously is still a…

Challenge Complete + Comments
Now that I’m a few recipes into my new cookbook challenge (Brave New Meal), I thought it would be a good time to look back at some of my favourite recipes from my previous cookbook (Thug Kitchen 101). Overall, I quite enjoyed this book. It was a nice fresh look at vegan cooking and really…
Big Macs
I know recreating fast food menu items has been around for a long time. You could watch probably hundreds, if not thousands, of videos online of making all sorts of different things. I hadn’t really taken part too much in that, but ever since I made the McMuffins last month (link here), I wanted to…
Asian Salmon in Foil
After the last couple weeks of fall apple and pumpkin ingredients, I am back to posting regular yummy foods, like baked salmon! The last time I posted about salmon was way back in June, with the Maple Dijon Salmon (link here), so I am due for another recipe sharing. Today I made Asian Salmon in…
Pesto Spaghetti Squash
Happy October! I know fall technically starts September 21 but I feel like once we get to October, that’s when it really sets in. So in honour of that, I made a recipe using a fall-ey ingredient – squash! To be more specific, I used spaghetti squash, which is one of my faves. Not only…
Spanish Rice
Buckle up because it’s dinner time. I haven’t been posting many full meals recipe – most recent was the INCREDIBLE cashew chicken from a couple weeks ago – so it’s time to change that. I made spanish rice! This is typically a side dish made with rice, diced tomatoes, onions and seasonings. What I made…
Zucchini Banana Bread
I always seem to have overripe bananas at home. I get a bunch of bananas at the store and a few days later, they’ve passed their prime for me to eat. My favourite thing to do with them is bake! The obvious (and delicious) choice is to make banana bread/muffins. What I’ve made isn’t just…
Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Here I am with another recipe from the Thug Kitchen cookbook! This one was a really easy one and I had no doubts that it would turn out well. This was a really simple preparation of sweet potatoes. They are coated with maple syrup, chili powder and smoked paprika, then get roasted in a pretty…
Pigs in a Blanket
Sometimes, easy recipes are the best ones to make. Here is an incredibly simple snack/side dish and I can hardly believe I have never made them before. So like the title says, and as you can see in the picture, I made pigs in a blanket! Pigs = hot dogs, blanket = pastry dough. The…
Cashew Chicken Stirfry
To me, cashew chicken always seemed like a dish not worth getting from a restaurant. Since it’s pretty much just a stirfry, I felt like I could easily make it myself so it would make more sense for me to get something different (ie. more difficult to make) instead. I don’t know if that makes…
