Who The Hell Eats Brussels Sprouts?

Really? This was the question posted after I ordered them in a restaurant a scant while back. Although it made me think back. I was assured by my memory that brussels sprouts were indeed the only vegetable that left me sitting at a darkened dinner table at the age of about 7ish, to contemplate reviving...

A Sucker for Babies.

Spring means babies and like the title states, I’m the sucker. I see, little, fresh veggies and new and I have to cook them up – in magnitude… I couldn’t resist, when last time at the market I spotted these miniature marvels. Love ‘em or not, these adorable eggplants were...

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...

Roasted Vegetable Soup

Who knew that if given the choice, most grown-ups will avoid roasted parsnips and squash if they are served on their own? Made me happy, as I eyed the level of the dish near the end of dinner. I knew where these left over vegetables were going after the Thanksgiving dishes were done. Funny thing, us...

Grilled Vegetable Panini

It almost seems that all I’ve been doing lately is preparing leftovers. Thankfully everyone typically has abundant left overs. Seeing that I’m usually preparing something, I’m not often without something in my own fridge screaming out not to be forgotten. With summer starting, I’ve...

Grilled Vegetable Strudel

I had been gearing up to post about what I call Market Mystery. This is either the new or unexpected produce that turns up at the market or in your CSA box that you would never dream of buying out of your regular habits. Turns out, this event coincided perfectly when I invited my neighbour over for...
