Once again, bacon to the rescue! Normally I’m not a huge fan of brussels sprouts, especially when they’re simply boiled and plunked on your plate. Yuck?   But when you ...

High on the hill is a lonely goatherd…

Hello! Fellow eaters, for me breakfast is where it’s at — the most important meal of the day (yada yada) and so tasty I could eat it all day (but I suppose you can’t – once the fast is broken, I have to move along to ‘snacking’ or ‘lunch’, sigh). I don’t know when I [...]

Green Curry. Make it so.

Green Curry. Make it so.

This weekend we once again made green curry from Meals in Minutes, a book by Jamie Oliver. The “in minutes” part is a bit of a joke, especially the first time you’re making it, as there are a fair amount of ingredients and the meal he makes (along with the green curry) is also quite [...]

Sticky-delicious Coffee Cake

 Dingaling! Dingaling … it’s that time of year again! I am really enjoying the crisper temperatures and trying on different scarves and hats from my bottomless drawer in the hallway. I have also taken up knitting again and just finished knitting a Christmas stocking for my niece who is having her very first seasonal experience [...]

Marmot bars

The definition of “marmot” is a “heavily built, gregarious, burrowing rodent… typically living in mountainous country”.

Hubbub Style Asian Infused Slaw

Coleslaw is underrated. Probably because most of the time it’s gross and should be underrated (you know what I’m talking about — the overly creamy slaw where you occasionally see something green… or orange… but mostly it’s just white mayonnaise?)  That being said, I’ve been having a lot of good coleslaw around town – one [...]

Cooked Crab Legs

Dungeness Crab & Garlic Butter. That is all.

Living on the west coast of Canada means that seafood is always an option when making a delicious dinner.  Recently we were in Tofino (I love Tofino) and we thought what better place to cook fresh seafood… my favourite being dungeness crab. They find some big crabs around that area and the best thing about [...]

Lamb shanks. Dang.

  Over here in our kitchen, we’re working our way through all the parts of a lamb. That may sound bad, and some people don’t like to visualize what they’re eating, but I like to be food knowledgable.. and, well, I just think it makes you appreciate it a little more.  So, last weekend, we [...]

Yummy carrot soup…

Yummy carrot soup…

Sometimes in restaurants I’ll discretely take a photo of my food — I’ve moved beyond the weirdness of it – I like to fool myself into thinking that curious observers might assume I am a food critic and just doing my job.  I often find food so beautiful to look at, and in that moment [...]
