After fighting the @#%!!! squirrels for the past 2 months, I was finally able to salvage enough large tomatoes to make BLTs and caprese salad (see tomorrow’s post). This post isn’t intended to tell you “how to make a BLT”. Everybody … Continue reading

As I was planning my meals last week, I realized that I have recipe fatigue. T and I have been alternating cooking weeks and planning meals since January or February. I’ve read and reviewed and made so many new recipes … Continue reading

You may never make lemonade with just water and lemons again. (And you certainly won’t use that powdered stuff anymore!) The inspiration for this concoction came from the strangest of places: my desire to have naturally sun-highlighted (high-lit?) hair. A couple … Continue reading

I have to admit, I’ve never had a fish taco before now. Or maybe once, but it obviously wasn’t memorable. I’ve always shied away from fish tacos. They just sound weird. Fish? In a taco? With shredded cheese and salsa? No thank … Continue reading

This is one of my new favourite recipes. Think cod is only good battered and fried with fries and a beer? Well, fish and chips is a tasty meal, but this one’s much healthier. The “warm relish” (as I’ll call … Continue reading

T first made this dish a few months ago. He had a version of it at a Thai restaurant and was so taken with the flavour that he wanted to try making it at home. It’s super quick and easy … Continue reading

This is a “smack-yo-mama” good pork chop. (Sorry, Mama.) I’m serious, this pork chop is just that good. Or rather the glaze is just that good. I’m definitely going to be trying it on my chicken… and shrimp… and maybe even on my oatmeal. … Continue reading

And for Valentine’s Day dessert, we enjoyed a quartet of cupcakes! A few months back I goofed-up on a batch of black bean chocolate cupcakes, and ended-up making a delicious “crumble” or “trifle”… or something… with orange butter cream icing. T loved … Continue reading

Since we began dating, each year T and I have alternated who plans our anniversary and who plans Valentine’s Day. We are a modern, progressive couple, so “bah!” to the idea that it’s “the man’s job” to plan and buy and … Continue reading

First , let me apologize for the image to your left. I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist. Second, meatloaf just doesn’t photograph well (As you can see from my traditional meatloaf recipe.) It’s meat, shaped like a loaf. Delicious, yes. Photogenic, no … Continue reading

There is a local bakery (who shall remain nameless) that makes the most delicious pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. These muffins are so tasty that they’re worth trip when you’re so-late-for-work-that-you-didn’t-have-time-for-breakfast-and-you-really-don’t-have-time-to-stop-for-a-muffin-but-you-do-it-anyway. (That was really tedious to type, by the way.) So … Continue reading

This recipe came to me in a dream. Well, in a daze to be more exact. When I got off work yesterday I was tired, and hungry, and my brain felt mushy. I went home, stripped down to my skivvies … Continue reading
