Before I get into this post I just wanted to say that this is actually going to be my last recipe that I cook from the cookbook called Thug Kitchen 101. I’ve had a new cookbook from the same company for a few months now and I’m finally starting it. So my next post is…

Fattoush
If your favourite part of a salad is the croutons, then fattoush is for you! It is essentially a Mediterranean salad with lots of toasted bread/pita pieces. So you get the goodness of all the veggies but with all the delicious crunchy bread too. This one has a really nice lemon-garlic dressing which was very…
Cucumber Salad with Peanuts & Cilantro
I love cucumber salad. When I make it, I usually keep it super simple with just a little vinegar, salt and sugar. It’s a perfect balance of sweet and sour. However, today’s recipe is the cucumber salad from Thug Kitchen 101. It has the same sweet and sour components of my basic recipe, but with…
Colourful Veggie Tacos
This was one of those meals that I had no idea if it would work well. I sort of just pulled out random ingredients that I had in my fridge and ended up with some tacos. I started with a frozen Morning Star Spicy Black Bean Burger (I love this brand, they’re really nice veggie…
Recipe #31: Fresh Sesame Soba Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce
If you’ve never had a fresh spring roll at a thai/vietnamese restaurant, you really need to try one. They are not too difficult to make at home either though. I’ve made fresh rolls several times so I know the technique but it is a little tricky for people who’ve never done so. It’s just like…
Recipe #29: Colourful Kale, Apple & Fennel Slaw with Tart Cherries
I have been really into kale for a couple years now. I’ve been cooking it many different ways and it pairs well with a variety of ingredients. A trend that has become more popular recently is eating raw kale. It is being used in things like salads and smoothies. I am quite into the salads…
Recipe #23: Roasted Summertime Salsa
Happy halloween! I was never big on going out on this day, I usually like to stay home and watch movies. But if you’re going out, just be safe and have fun 🙂 For those of you staying in, chips and salsa would be a great snack that doesn’t even take too long to make….
Recipe #6: Roasted Strawberry, Basil & Goat Cheese Crostini
I could almost dream about these crostini. I have no bad comments about them. They were so well-balanced – creamy, sweet, crunchy, fresh, spicy – all the textures and flavours worked well together. I want to start by talking about the roasted strawberries. It might sound weird to roast berries, but they get so soft…
Typical Breakfast: Eggs & Toast
Sorry I haven’t been very active in May so far. I just haven’t been cooking too many post-worthy things. But I thought that this might be a good post because breakfast meals vary so much around the world. I guess you could call my breakfast basic for a canadian/american – something you could get in…
Sushi & Fresh Rolls
Two posts in one day, that’s right! I know I post quite a bit for my cookbook challenge but I am also trying to make non-challenge posts. So I posted my homemade kimchi earlier today (click to see post) and now here is what I made on the weekend. Fresh spring rolls and sushi.. they…
