May 5: Various Plates of Food

Happy May everyone! It’s been very rainy here the past week, it’s like all of the “April showers” have decided to come now. But the weather has been getting a little warmer. I love this time of year because the cherry blossoms and tulips are blooming and it’s so pretty. I decided to switch things…

March 10: Hamantaschen, Stirfry & Quinoa Salad

The month is flying and days are getting longer which makes me so happy. I was a little more motivated to cook this week so there’s 3 recipes in today’s post – 1 dessert and 2 meals. I’m extra happy because days are going to get even longer because where I am, the time changes…

November 25: Leftover Meal Prep

Hihi, I’m starting to feel like a broken record here but I feel really bad that I don’t have more recipe content to share with you all. I have fully recovered from whatever throat infection I had and I’m back to eating regular foods. This week has just been all over the place which means…

Weekly Roundup: Kugel & Burrito Bowl

Wow I can’t believe October is pretty much finished, it really feels like it just started. Before we know it, it’s going to be new years, it’s crazy how fast time is flying. Anyways, I got two savoury dishes today – one is a side and one is a main. – Zucchini Kugel: I love…

Orange Peel Cauliflower

I was very excited about this recipe. You know I love battered and baked cauliflower. I’ve made different variations countless times (Buffalo Cauliflower, Maple & Sriracha Cauliflower, General Tso Cauliflower). All of those recipes were so delicious and you should definitely check those out! But today’s cauliflower is coated in a sweet and sticky orange…

Baked Leeks and Parsnips

Today’s recipe is quite a simple side dish. These are easy, baked leeks and parsnips. I have never really eaten leeks much, aside from in soups (like potato & leek) but I have never thought to roast them. And I love parsnips so I knew they would be good here. They are flavoured with garlic,…

Fasolakia

I love trying new things, it’s part of the fun of cooking. If you’re not opening your mind to new foods and ways to eat them, mealtime can become a little boring. That’s what makes cookbook challenges so exciting to me. For instance, today’s recipe – Fasolakia (Greek green beans) – is a dish I…

Wine Braised Artichokes with Fresh Herbs

Artichokes are one of those foods that can seem very intimidating if you don’t know how to clean them up. I had cooked with them a while ago but they are not something I cook with frequently because they are so much work. But this recipe came up in the Brave New Meal cookbook and…

Swiss Chard Puttanesca

I am moving right along in this cookbook and I was very excited for this recipe today. This was the Swiss Chard Puttanesca. I remember in the Thug Kitchen 101 cookbook there was also a puttanesca recipe with polenta as a base for it. Here is the link for that if you wanted to check…

Chile Roasted Broccoli

Happy April fool’s! I don’t have any jokes for you but I do have another good recipe from the Brave New Meal cookbook. This is also the first recipe I’m making from the Snacks & Sides section of the book. I’m closing off the week with a very simple side. Roasted vegetables in general are…
