Growing up, Dad used to make a killer meatloaf. I found his recipe, if you can call it that, several years ago. The paper it’s noted on has yellowed over time, and there are a few mustard and ketchup smatterings here and there. The text is Dad’s own script – chunky printing in all caps – which…
The Main Course
Thai Coconut Curry Meatballs
Saying good-bye to summer is hard. I’m in serious denial that it’s September and the unofficial end of summer, aka Labour Day weekend, is behind us. Super bummed about it, actually. This girl is not a fan of the cold. So what did I do? I booked a last minute vacation to Hawaii with my…
Sheet Pan Nachos
I’m sure you can agree that, at the end of the day, you don’t always feel like cooking a big meal – especially during the week. I hear ya, we’re in the same boat. On the flip side, I most definitely do not want take-out. I just want something simple, but wholesome. I’ll even settle…
Black Bean & Chorizo Tostada
Not like you need a reason to cook up some Mexican grub, but Cinco de Mayo is this week. It gives you the perfect excuse to whip up a batch of tacos. Or better yet, get a little creative with Mexican flavours – beans, tomatillos, masa harina, poblano, or even tamarind. Let’s be real with one…
Turos Teszta
Noodles, cheese, and bacon. Turos Teszta – the ultimate Hungarian comfort food. I was first introduced to this cheesy dish in 2012 by my bestie, Edith. We went on a road trip to California with our friend, Thao, and rented an apartment in Santa Monica for a week. We were living the California dream. We…
Food From Movies: Sloppy Joes
I’ve been toying with the idea of a blog series called “Food From Movies”, where I create a recipe for a dish that was featured in, or inspired by, a movie I had seen. It only seemed fitting for me to start with Sloppy Joes, because it was the first time I remember being influenced to…
Chicken Kebabs with Spicy Rum Marinade
Kebabs? Kebobs? These suckers are bursting with sweet and spicy flavors, regardless how you pronounce it. My dearest of friends have brought it to my attention that I’ve been MIA from this blog for a bit. Apparently they enjoy reading my ramblings online. I’ve been busy….with like…..vacations and stuff….and probably other things, too. So this ones for…
Balsamic Glazed Tenderloin
I’m a big fan of meals that require very little prep time, which is why I love marinating meat. I can throw everything together in a Ziplock bag and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Come supper time, everything is ready to go! You can’t ask for an easier or more perfect weeknight meal….
Tikka Masala Pizza
I have a love affair with Indian food. Need I say more? During the week, more times than not, I need a quick supper. I don’t have time to cook up a big pot of Butter Chicken or Tikka Masala from scratch, so on occasion, I buy the jarred varieties. The jarred stuff is fabulous…
Prosciutto Chicken Cacciatore
Chicken Cacciatore made in the slow cooker is a staple around these parts. Largely due to the fact that I work 7 days a week, and when I get home, I don’t always want to cook. My slow cooker version will give us a good hearty supper one night, and the leftover sauce is generally…
