This is what I make when I want take-out but know that it’s better, cheaper, and more delicious homemade. It’s sweet, sticky, and so flavourful. Sometimes, you just need a bowl of sticky sweet noodles. Am I right? Of course I am, otherwise, Asian take out just wouldn’t be a big deal. But it’s delicious, so it … [Read more…]
This super seedy granola is nut free, so it’s perfect for sharing with anyone who may have allergies. Plus, it’s damn good for you! Let me be frank, I am a nut lover. However, I was recently on a flight where we were told not to eat anything with peanuts in it, and it got … [Read more…]
If you haven’t guessed, I’m a huge sweet and spicy fan. It’s definitely my fav flava combo. So, naturally, with my trying to eat a lot of Vitamin A for my eye health (which I think is improving!) and therefore eating lots of sweet potatoes, things are getting a little sweet potato crazy. Which I’m still not … [Read more…]
It’s almost picnic season! In fact, some of these days lately could be considered picnic worthy. Yes! Every summer I vow to go on more picnics, spend more time lounging in parks, soaking up the Calgary Rivers, but then somehow it’s fall and we may have done one picnic, possibly two? Oh well, there’s … [Read more…]
Don’t know what to bring to another appetizer party!? Don’t worry, I got ya covered. These babies are creamy, spicy, sweet, and crunchy. What else could you want!? Nothing. Perfect. Oh and did I mention they require only four ingredients?! And you can prep them ahead of time, and then pop them in the oven when you’re ready to eat/sip/snack/socialize. … [Read more…]
I love St. Patricks Day!!! This is one day where I especially miss my home town of Chicago, and my little neighbourhood of Beverly where I grew up. There is no place on earth that celebrates the Irish on St. Patty’s Day like Beverly does. Our own parade, bagpipers, Irish dancers, so much beer, and so … [Read more…]
Here’s a refreshing twist! Sorta like a dreamsicle for adults, maybe? Tart, tangy, frozen goodness. I love my smoothies, don’t get me wrong, but is anyone else just waiting for the day when the farmers markets are full of fresh berries and melons and peaches!? They’re just so pretty I usually can’t bear to put … [Read more…]
Slurp. Slurp. Slurp. Repeat. This Easy Miso Ramen Soup makes you want to do just that. So good. I woke up with a wicked sore throat last week. Blah! I debated going to work, went to work, and then spent all day dreaming about making some sort of savoury salty brothy soup to soothe my … [Read more…]
Remember when I said my new years resolution was to eat more sweet potatoes in my post for Sweet Potato Coconut Curry Soup ?! And I wasn’t sure why, I just felt like my body needed it. I’m thinking this whole listen to your body and eat accordingly thing is legit, because I recently went to … [Read more…]
The Crossroads Farmers Market in Calgary has this little Mexican food booth with the most amazing dips and salsas. There’s such a variety too! I’m talking coconut salsa, corn salsa, super freaking hot ones, and my absolute favourite, the cilantro salsa. It’s more of a cilantro sauce, with a smooth and creamy texture. I get … [Read more…]
