How about a flavourful and heat loving blast into the New Year? Healthy and sinus clearing, this is a lunch to knock that cold back outside where it belongs. It's been frigid and I've been sick. The extra sleep has been good, but I'm in need ...
As I sat, thinking what the ultimate food for Sunday would be, it actually took me a bit to come to the chili conclusion. Crazy, yes, I am aware of this. Coming from an advertising background, I have to honestly admit that the majority of my Superbowl viewing experience takes place during half time. Perfect for cooking for a crowd, the chili is a dash of this and a can of that - and then you leave it. So quick and easy, you won't even miss the commercials.
Last of glamping, at least for me this year. The days are beautiful, but let me tell you, these late summer nights can get c h i l l y. As lovely as the morning dew and hikes with trees hinting of crimson are, that's all folks, until next year anyway. We just returned from a group camping trip. A trip to cook or not to cook could be the question, but what we did do was Eat For Freedom. The task for the weekend, if you'd want to call it that, was to cook only once, but to cook for the group. The trick was, at it's high point the crowd was pushing 40+ people. Sure, some could opt for the easy route out, cracking open a dozen cans of beans, but these guys were pretty hard core. I was told about successful curries, fresh pies, even home made gnocchi but I think the burritos topped for my favourite. Easy, delicious and vegan, fit to satisfy the 90% carnivorous crowd.
Cold soup? Ew. I never would have thought to eat something like THAT. But that was before a trip to New York where I'd stood in a line, a long line; could you even imagine, in New York? However, I was prepared, I had my money ready, but I still ...
After so many sweet peaches I wanted something savoury. To get over the top of the mid-week peach, I decided on a chutney. Perfect along side anything roasted, grilled, atop some chèvre on a cracker, or as individual tarts with pistachio and parmigiana. You can make ...
Imagine my surprise when I returned from a weekend at my in-laws to find a package wedged in between our front doors; addressed to me! All the way from Austin Texas came a wonderfully sweet gesture of thanks. Yes, the cat's out of the bag, Jerry at ...
When I thought of making a pasta dish, I wanted something light. I was looking for a quick and cool summer pasta for a crowd, so I hit my pantry and noticed the rice paper sheets I had on hand. Perfect for an appetizer, or a fresh meal, depending on what you choose to fill them with, these really only take a few minutes to assemble making them the ultimate no-cook pasta.
The heat wave persists and I swore I'd stick with cool food for a while but I just could't resist the exploding garlic scapes in my garden. I wasn't sure what the heat would do to the poor greens, speeding up the season and making them woody and go to bloom. ...
Aloo Chana, also known as potato chick pea curry... and the other night's dinner. No matter how hard we try, there never seems to be a proper ratio of basmati steamed to the amount of curry in the pot. (Let alone room in our stomaches.) So needless to say, it's great ...
...And they're vegan? But of course! Devily and heavenly. Spicy is the theme for the Muffin Monday Round-Up 03, so gracefully hosted by Uni Tocco Di Zenzero. Chocolate and chillies aren't uncommon to some, often found in Mexican desserts, chocolate and chillies really wake up your taste buds. In this recipe, ...
