    Linguine with Tomatoes, Capers and Burrata

    April 29, 2019 / No Comments

    This simple and delicious linguine with tomatoes and burrata is so good. Linguine adorned with a simple sauce made with olive oil, fresh tomatoes, thinly sliced garlic, fresh arugula, and capers. Top it off with some creamy burrata and a sprinkling of toasted homemade breadcrumbs to finish. So simple and so good. Pasta is pretty much one of my favorite things to eat, I absolutely love it! Admittedly, I can be a bit of a ‘pasta snob’. There are a few tips to make sure that you have a great pasta dish. Tips for making perfect pasta Make sure that you cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling…

    Udon Chicken Noodle Soup with Shitake and Kale

    April 17, 2019 / No Comments

    Who doesn’t love chicken noodle soup…well me! It sounds crazy, but I always think that chicken noodle soup itself is a bit boring. But, this udon chicken noodle soup with shitake and kale takes that dish to a new level. Like everyone, we are often pressed for time around here. But, if you have some chicken broth and leftover chicken in your fridge, this quick little udon chicken noodle soup comes together in minutes! In fact, I made this so quickly tonight that I didn’t exactly record measurements, so my recipe will be a rough guideline, but it is super easy and fairly forgiving I’m sure. Homemade Chicken Broth I…

    Summer Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce

    April 2, 2019 / No Comments

    These Summer Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce are one of my favorite appetizers to serve when the weather warms up.  Light and refreshing and of course even better when you get to dip them in an addictive peanut sauce. You can pretty much put any veggies that you like in these Summer Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce. Feel free to add in some protein here too, shrimp, chicken or pork, whatever you like really. The only thing I wouldn’t leave out is the fresh herbs, they really add such a nice bright flavor to these. If you have a peanut allergy, these are also good dipped in a sweet chili…

    Healthy Homemade Ramen with Chicken

    April 1, 2019 / No Comments

    This Healthy Homemade Ramen with Chicken is quick and easy to make and the kids love it! Back in the day when I used to eat Ramen, it was the packaged store-bought instant noodles. Ahhh the Ramen of my teenage years. In fact, even when I first moved away from home, this quick instant meal did sometimes make an appearance. I don’t buy those anymore, thankfully. I’m sure they have like zero nutritional value, and homemade ramen is pretty simple to make using a good chicken broth, with a few lovely additions and is far superior in taste and nutrition. I made homemade chicken broth the other day to use…

    Tabouli Salad with Chickpeas

    March 31, 2019 / No Comments

    Tabouli is a middle eastern salad, typically made with finely chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, onions and bulgar. I've switched it up a little here replacing the traditional bulgar for chickpeas and added in a little radish and feta. Dressed simply with a little lemon and olive oil. I've also used a spice here called Baharat which if you aren't familiar is a great little spice blend also used in middle eastern cuisine. Baharat is actually the Arabic word for 'spices'. I buy a blend at a spice shop here in Calgary but if you can't find it you can make your own. It is a blend of peppper, coriander, cinnamon,…

    Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Honey and Harissa

    March 5, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Roasted Brussel sprouts with Honey and Harissa are a great quick and easy side dish. Brussels sprouts have definitely come a long way from when I was first introduced to them. Back in the day, they were mostly served boiled…and boiled for much too long. They lacked a little something back then. Personally, my favorite way to cook them is roasted as I love the flavor that roasting them brings. Toss halved Brussel sprouts in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them at around 425F on a sheet pan. They are wonderful with bacon. Parmesan, as you can imagine, is another worthy addition. I also enjoy them…

    Tomato Soup with Lentils and Caraway

    February 20, 2019 / 2 Comments

    This Tomato Soup with Lentils and Caraway is a simple and delicious soup. Caraway really compliments the tomatoes. Comfort in a bowl. I made the other day using up the bits of veggies I had left in my fridge. These are rough measurements as I didn’t intend to blog this, but the soup turned out really yummy so I thought I would still share. San Marzano tomatoes are a little extra cost-wise, but I think the flavour is worth the extra dollars. Also, use real Parmigiano Reggiano for this, it is also worth the dollar for the flavour. Save your rind, I like to actually freeze my parmesan rinds as…

    Roasted Cauliflower with Pomegranate and Tahini

    February 19, 2019 / No Comments

    This Roasted Cauliflower with Pomegranate and Tahini is a quick and easy side dish. Cauliflower has made a real comeback lately and is far from how you may remember having it as a child. People are making cauliflower into ‘rice’, ‘pizza crust’ and all sorts of weird concoctions. But cauliflower can shine on its own as well as it lends itself to so many flavours. This Roasted Cauliflower with Pomegranate and Tahini, drizzled with some lemony tahini dressing is a great way to highlight this versatile veggie. Pomegranates add some sweetness and color and fresh herbs brighten everything up. I’ve also drizzled this with pomegranate molasses which is a middle…

    Orecchiette with Broccoli and Anchovies

    It’s been a hectic week and I haven’t had much time for cooking. I needed something really quick to make today before heading out to meet clients and this Orecchiette with Broccoli and Anchovies is what I decided on. Maybe eating a bunch of pasta adorned with garlic and anchovies is not such a great idea for a meal right before you meet with clients but, of course, I can’t turn down pasta like EVER! Although, you can feel good about this Orecchiette with Broccoli and Anchovies as it does have a heck of a lot of broccoli in it. It will feel as though you are overcooking the broccoli…

    Roasted Tomatoes

    February 2, 2019 / No Comments

    These Roasted Tomatoes are a great way to coax out some extra flavor, especially in the winter months when you are missing those summer fresh tomatoes. These are great to have on hand to add to pasta, sandwiches, or even as an addition to a charcuterie board. These can be kept sealed in a mason jar for future use. It is freezing cold here today in Calgary! We have been pretty fortunate to have pretty mild temperatures for most of the winter thus far, but apparently those days are done today. I’m sure dreaming about summer. For lunch today I made these ‘Caprese style grilled cheeses’. These roasted tomatoes were…
