    Zucchini Corn Salad with Herby Dressing

    May 5, 2020 / No Comments

    This simple Zucchini Corn Salad with Herby Dressing was what I came up with today in an attempt to use up some zucchini we had in the fridge. It would be a great salad for the end of summer when everyone is trying to find ways to use up plentiful amounts of zucchini. This would be great too topped with a few pistachio nuts if you have some. I didn’t today and since I’m trying not to always be running back and forth to the grocery store these days, I decided to go without. You could leave the vegetables raw for this, but I decided to roast the zucchini a…

    Mushroom Poblano Tacos

    April 25, 2020 / No Comments

    If you haven’t noticed, I love Mexican food. I could eat tacos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and be very happy about it. These mushroom poblano tacos are one of my favorites! A great vegetarian dish too! I like to add a little bit of cream at the end of the cooking process to the mushrooms mixture and let it cook down a little, I think it compliments the mushrooms well. If you don’t have cream though, don’t fret, these would be good without it as well. We made Homemade Corn Tortillas and tomatillo salsa to go along with these. These are really simple to make and great with ice-cold Mango…

    These Spicy Chipotle Shrimp are so good and come together so quickly! Perfect for a weeknight meal or just a quick and easy dinner anytime! You may have had this dish if you have visited Mexico before. It is a popular dish I’ve seen on my visits in restaurants. My husband and I have visited Mexico many times, and besides the beautiful weather, friendly people, and stunning ocean, our other favorite thing about Mexico is the food! Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines to cook. Exploring some of the traditional foods and preparations has expanded my view on what an amazing cuisine Mexico it is – so many…

    Bucatini all’Amatriciana

    April 22, 2020 / No Comments

    I have to say that Rome has some pretty kick-butt classic pasta dishes to choose from. Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe and this delicious and simple Bucatini all’Amatriciana. I love simple and classic pasta dishes like these. When you have good ingredients, you don’t really need a whole lot of them in order to create great flavor. Pasta is simple, cheap, and one of my absolute favorites! What is Bucatini all’Amatriciana Traditionally the sauce for this pasta dish is made with guanciale, tomatoes, and pecorino romano cheese. Some variations include onions, white wine, hot pepper flakes, or garlic added in. Guanciale is a cured pork product that comes from the cheeks.…

    Greek Salad with Crispy Feta Croutons

    April 21, 2020 / No Comments

    Who doesn’t love a greek salad, better yet one with crispy fried feta croutons! The weather is finally warming up in here in Calgary for a much-needed break from winter. Spring has me craving dishes that are a bit lighter and fresh. Of course, healthy salads are great, but a little indulgence is still delicious and these crispy feta croutons fit the bill. This greek salad is a mixture of the traditional veggies typically used for this dish. Cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion and a bit of flat-leaf parsley thrown into the mix. For the dressing, a simple mix of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, oregano…

    April 17, 2020 / No Comments

    Pasta, Peppercorns, and Pecorino Romano. Those are the three main ingredients you will need to make this Cacio e Pepe with Arugula.  I’ve added in some arugula as I think the peppery green compliments the dish perfectly, but if you don’t have arugula, this dish is great without it. This dish comes together quickly and is a really simple dish once you know a few techniques. What is Cacio e Pepe Cacio e Pepe is a pasta dish that originated in Rome. It means Pepper and Cheese. It is a simple but delicious dish when prepared correctly. Ingredients Matter When you make a simple dish like this Cacio e Pepe…

    Cheesy Chickpeas with Tomato and Dill

    April 15, 2020 / No Comments

    Having a well-stocked pantry is wonderful when you need to improvise for a quick meal with just a few ingredients. I like to keep canned beans and canned tomatoes on hand and I use them both frequently. These Cheesy Chickpeas with Tomato and Dill use up canned tomatoes and canned chickpeas and make a satisfying and healthy quick supper. I was getting low on groceries today, and for some reason, I had an excess supply of canned chickpeas. I figured, I had better use some of them up, and there are only so many hummus recipes you can do. That was the inspiration for this dish. I added dill in…

    Chinese Pork ‘Bolognese’ Noodles. It sounds strange but it is yummy! This easy ‘Chinese style bolognese’ is a delicious and easy pork gravy slathered over noodles and topped with crunchy julienned veggies and fresh herbs. If you have ever heard of the Chinese noodle dish called Zha Jiang Mian, this dish is basically a spin on that dish with easier to find ingredients for us North American folks. Basically it is noodles slathered in pork gravy and topped with some crunchy julienned veggies. I named it Chinese Bolognese as it kind of reminds me of a bolognese and pasta dish, except with Chinese flavors and it is super simple and…
