So my last post, the pesto pasta salad (link here) was a perfect recipe for a hot summer day. Today’s recipe however, is definitely one for hot food lovers. This is supposed to be a Nashville hot shroom sammie, as in mushroom, but I had to make some adjustments because I am not a fungus…

Smashed Cucumber Salad
I’m ending the week with this super simple cucumber salad! This is a smashed cucumber salad which makes it very rustic and fun! I have seen recipes for this kind of salad online so I was very excited that this book had one. Aside from the cucumbers there really aren’t that many other ingredients that…
Sweet & Spicy Cold Tofu
I eat tofu probably once a week and I’m always looking for different ways to prepare it. Most of the time I will either saute or bake it. But today, I wasn’t in the mood for much cooking, so I made this delicious Sweet & Spicy Cold Tofu. When cooking with tofu, I prefer the…
Jalapeno Poppers
Happy Cinco de Mayo! If you received my email newsletter on Monday, I shared a couple of my favourite Mexican recipes there. But there was no way I couldn’t post more Cinco content on my blog! I made such a classic snack today. I guess these are more of a pub food but the main…
Maple & Sriracha Cauliflower
Sweet and spicy might be my favourite flavour combinations. I mean, sweet and salty is up there too but the spice has the slight edge to put it at the top of my list. I love cooking with sweet and spicy, it’s very common in many Asian cuisines. A great vehicle for these flavours is…
Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Buffalo cauliflower is one of my go-to appetizer/side dishes to make. I love everything about them – tender cauliflower, crispy batter and spicy buffalo sauce. I’ve made them several times and I always use the same recipe from Tasty (link here). I make a couple adjustments to the process: Reduce the oven temperature to 425˚…
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 #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…
Sweet & Spicy Carrots
As you may already know, I love to roast veggies. I made a post a little while ago about my simple roasted vegetables (link here). In that post, I keep things super easy with technique and flavours. But once in a while, it’s fun to switch things up a bit. I made this recipe for…
Sesame-Soy Tofu Bowl
I’m always looking for ways to make tofu taste good and I think I did it with this meal. Tofu is basically a sponge so it will soak up whatever flavours you put on it, but giving it nice texture will take it up a notch. When buying tofu for a stirfry or noodle bowl,…
