Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Radish Pickled Eggs & Garlic Tahini Dressing

October 31, 2018 No Comments

You’ll have to forgive me if this entry is a touch distracted. I’m currently residing on cloud nine and I guess the air is thin up here because it’s hard to think straight. And why have I relocated to a such a lofty height? Well, on Monday night I received the gold award for General (English-Language) Food Blogs at the Taste Canada Awards Gala and my feet haven’t touched the ground since. I was *very* surprised and no, I don’t remember what I said in my speech but I’m sure it made very little sense. But enough about my insane 48 hours, that’s not why you’re here. Let’s talk about this Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Radish Pickled Eggs & Garlic Tahini Dressing.

Green Bean Frittata Breakfast Sandwiches with Candied Bacon & Shallot Dijonnaise

October 27, 2018 No Comments

The other day I was listening to a podcast called The Sporkful and on it was another podcaster named Brendan Francis Newnam. He and the co-created of the podcast The Dinner Party Download recently released a book called Brunch is Hell: How to Save the World by Throwing a Dinner Party. I have not read the book but on The Sporkful, Newnam outlined the bones of his anti-brunch argument and I found myself agreeing with him. Brunch can, indeed, be hell. The line-ups, the prices, the ill-advised 11 AM cocktails. Hanging with your friends shouldn’t test your patience, bankrupt you and leave you, as Newnam puts it, drunkenly “drooling on yourself” for the rest of the afternoon. But here I am with these Green Bean Frittata Breakfast Sandwiches, so it’s clear I didn’t agree with the man completely.

Today’s White Bean Cheesy Pasta with Gremolata may seem oddly familiar. Well, that’s because it kind of is. For the past several years, squash-spiked mac and cheese dishes have been making the rounds on the Internet. These dishes are sold as a sneaky way to work some vitamins into a chicken-finger-obsessed child. I’ve tried and few and they are pretty great. Of course, I failed to mention to my inner five-year-old that the pasta contained some sneaky squash because five-year-old Susan would’ve instantly decided she hated it. What can I say? I was a dumb kid that hated squash for some lame reason. Yes, tricking kids into eating their veg is why most people add pureed veggies to a cheesy sauce, but I have no such excuse because, well, I have no kids. No, I put pureed veggies in my cheesy pasta because sometimes I have to trick myself.

Pesto Barley Salad with Roasted Rapini & Buttercup Squash

October 18, 2018 No Comments

This Pesto Barley Salad looks really healthy, right? Balanced, vibrant, and potentially packed with a good stack of vitamins. It looks that way because it is! I know this is a shock, especially after I warned you things were going to get dangerously decadent from now until New Years. Don’t go thinking I’ve gone back on my word. I have recipes planned that will rob you of every last reserve of willpower you have. But not today. Today, I bring you a salad because we are in the midst of that blissful gap between Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween. So, let’s give a few vegetables a whirl. You know, just to say we did.
