Waste Not.

Have a kid who won’t eat crusts? I do. So instead of having it continuously irritate me, I’ve decided to please both parties. I was inspired after reading this New York Times article about wasted food. Where I’m really happy I live in an area which makes us separate so they can collect...

Like Peas & Carrots

These friendly, sweet vegetables just go together. Fresh with a splash of Asian inspired dressing, it’s crisp and sooths the summer heat I’m guessing these would go great with these Scallion Pancakes and just about anything grilled. Give it a try. ASIAN PEA & CARROT SALAD 1/2 Lb Snow...

Low Fat Granola

I wouldn’t go so far as to label myself a hippie or anything. Although I do enjoy a good amount of Canned Heat, I’m just not old enough. What I could call myself is frugal. I grew up with granola in the house but it was “Dad’s Cereal”. Which is, of course, why it was so...

Bicerin

Or should I aptly rename it: An Introduction to My New Best Friend Michelle. Michelle hosts the blog Sugar and Spice and sent me the most wonderful package. You see, there’s this lovely event that takes place amongst some bloggers, so nicely organized by Stephanie at Dispensing Happiness. “Blogging...

Cedar Smoked Asparagus Soup

Cedar planks, not just for salmon anymore. Really. Our last guest came with the spring and with that, sparks the BBQ. It might still be a bit early to eat outside, but who can resist the flame that is the official call of nicer weather? Having grilled on cedar planks before, I’m already fond of...

Brown Sugar Scones

In response to a quick visit from an old friend coming for tea, I naturally made for the kitchen. I’d set aside my quest for a recipe to use up the copious amounts of extra coconut I had from the Perfect Party Cake and thought that the best morning treat with tea would have to be scones. My friend...

Spinach Pesto

I used to be one of those people who would see those enormous tubs of spinach, you know the ones that are at least a pound, and not imagine what sized family could possibly consume that much salad in a week. Seeing that baby spinach weighs a little more than air, that’s quite a bit of greens....

Curried Carrot Soup

I am one of those people who like cilantro. Cilantro is a love it or hate it kind of thing. Thankfully the herby leaf it offers to 50% of the population who enjoy it, also comes with a seed. Coriander, which the seed more commonly goes by, lends a refreshing and slightly citrusy flavour. Blended with...

Happy New Year

After planning for an elaborate post in celebration of the Chinese New Year, the rat in my house got me to thinking, and snacking. Even with a theme of popular Chinese food items, I found myself, along with my son, just peeling and popping lychee fruits. One after another, our hands getting stickier,...

Rosemary Walnut Kalamata Olive Miniature Madeleines

After a few email and requests to bake another batch, I wanted to jot down this easy recipe for a super savoury quick bread. I’d served these up with the Creamless Potato Leek Soup a little while back but I’m sure that they’d also be great as a muffin with a salad. The flavour combination...
