    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…

    Simple Arugula and Fennel Salad with Toasted Almonds and Pecorino

    January 29, 2019 / 2 Comments

    There is a wonderful Italian restaurant where we live which I discovered a few weeks ago when I was exploring the area doing a write up for real estate. My Mom was with me to help me out and we stopped for a lunch break and discovered this little gem of a restaurant that served us the most amazing food. I have since been back again with my husband as I’ve been dreaming about the carbonara there ever since. It inspired me to make this simple Arugula and Fennel Salad with Toasted Almonds and Pecorino. The lunch special included a simple arugula salad with fennel and almonds. It was super…

    Basmati Rice with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Olives, Almonds and Goat Cheese

    January 28, 2019 / No Comments

    Rice doesn’t have to be boring. It’s easy to jazz it up with some flavour punches. It really is the perfect blank canvas just waiting for your to adorn it. When I first met my husband he told me the only two foods he disliked were plain white rice and rhubarb. I have since fed him both without complaint. Thankfully he isn’t a picky eater otherwise I’m not sure I would enjoy cooking for him as much as I do. My kids give me enough grief with the picky eating business! We had ribs in the fridge tonight leftover from a big Sunday dinner, so I made this little side…

    Eggplant Rolls and an Italian Feast!

    August 28, 2014 / No Comments

    These were good.  Really Really Good!   I was at the grocer’s today with a friend and noticed some good looking eggplant in the veg section.  It reminded me of a recipe I found on Pinterest from another blog called Not Enough Cinnamon I decided to grab some for tonights dinner…I’m so glad I did!  These were great.  I made tweaked the recipe ever so slightly (basically just adding more cheese) – yep I have a problem.  I also poured in a little of Whitewater Cooks BEST Basil Dressing For the way I made it you will need the following:  – 2 large eggplants  – 2 cups of ricotta cheese  – About…

    Veggie Burgers in Pita’s with Tzatziki

    August 18, 2011 / No Comments

    I was excited to get a copy of Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook “My Father’s Daughter” last week upon reccomendation from a friend.  It is a great book if you are in to simple, healthy recipes. Tried out my first recipe from the book tonight which I tweaked, just a little.  They were great.  After a busy summer of socializing, eating and drinking I tend to always try to eat healthier near the end of summer beginning of fall (since all my clothes begin to fit rather tightly).  Of course my boys truly frowned at the idea of veggie burgers…so these were just for me (and my husband if I can…
