Fig Glazed Roast Duck with Fresh Rosemary

October 11, 2019 4 Comments

And just like that, it’s Thanksgiving weekend… or at least it is here in good ol’ Canada. Yes, we the north are already neck-deep in turkey season, which means it’s time for my annual rant about turkey. You guys know the drill, I accuse the turkey of being a dry and flavorless bird unworthy of its lofty title as THE holiday banquet bird. But not this year. No, I haven’t had a change of heart but why beat a dead horse or turkey for that matter? You all know where I stand and if you don’t give this a read. No, this year I’m going to focus on the positive. And you can’t get much more positive than this Fig Glazed Roast Duck with Fresh Rosemary.

Green Goddess Sandwiches with Granny Smith Apples

October 3, 2019 5 Comments

Yeah, yeah, I know. The blog has been a little sandwich-heavy lately. Well, I suppose that depends on whether you consider a burger a sandwich. I tend to consider anything consisting of two or more pieces of bread to be a sandwich, open-face or not. But regardless of your preferred definition of the word “sandwich”, today’s Green Goddess Sandwiches with Granny Smith Apples do occupy a similar burger-like space in the culinary universe… or at least my version of it.

Chipotle Pinto Burgers with Queso & Crushed Fritos

September 25, 2019 No Comments

I have a confession to make. I love veggie burgers and not in an ironic way or a “close enough” kind of way. No, I really do love them. Well, I love them as long as they stay true to their veggie patty roots. Start packing soy and seitan in there and you’re going to get a hard pass from me. I know people swear by that kind of thing. But I don’t want an imposture or a stand-in for the burger of the meat variety. I want an honest to god veggie burger, beans and all. And somewhere in all this rambling is, I’m sure, a compelling lesson about being yourself. But man, I don’t want to tease that out. These Chipotle Pinto Burgers are more frivolous and fun than all that. So, deep and compelling they may not be, but proper veggie burgers? Oh, that they certainly are.

Green Curry Chicken Meatballs with Broad Rice Noodles

September 18, 2019 No Comments

These Green Curry Chicken Meatballs with Broad Rice Noodles maybe my new/old favorite. I say “New” because this dish as it exists in this post is fresh from my noggin. And I say “old” because I’ve been eating my weight in green curry ever since I tried it many moons ago. My hometown of Halifax was a little late to the Thai food game, so when it did show up, I made up for lost time. My go-to order was the same as any basic bitch out there: mango salad, pad thai, and green curry.
