Early Autumn Harvest BBQ

The sun may have set on the summer, but in these parts, we were *finallly* gifted with warmth. In what’s left of our shortening days, it’s turning out to be the best parts of the summer. The sum has been warm and the garden bountiful. Zucchini, beets, blueberries, beans and potatoes are...

Forbidden.

I never would have thought that summer BBQ’s would match up so well with Asian inspired salads. I’ve tested this recipe a few times now at a few outdoor gatherings and I have to tell you, it held up pretty well beside the best of potato salads. I’ve had this rice in my pantry collection...

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...

Baby Spinach Greens With Grilled Pears and Caramalized Onion Dressing

Of course this time of year just about any spring greens from the market will be great, but baby spinach is something I always have on hand. Where it’s not exactly your throw it together tossed salad, the onions are pretty much low maintenance to caramelize and this dressing is worth the wait. CARAMELIZED...

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...

Warm New Potato & Dandelion Greens Salad

Officially spring when the weeds beat out the flowers – even in the grocery store. Today was one of those exciting days at the market. Everywhere I turned there was new, fresh seasonal produce. I was greeted by thin, crisp greens, herbs and miniature everything like these potatoes which were about...

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...

Super Bowl of Chili

As I sat, thinking what the ultimate food for Sunday would be, it actually took me a bit to come to the chili conclusion. Crazy, yes, I am aware of this. Coming from an advertising background, I have to honestly admit that the majority of my Superbowl viewing experience takes place during half time. Perfect...

Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Needless to say we all like soup in this house. Nothing beats a warm bowl on a cold day. Well, maybe that warm bowl with some of that fresh bread I’ve finally been able to be baking… Red peppers, to me, are one of those amazing vegetables. You see, I absolutely, without a doubt hate it’s...
