Sole Amandine with Shredded Brussels Sprouts

On August 7, 2011 · 1 Comment

Going through recent posts it feels like I’ve barely posted any dinner ideas as of late.  Between traveling updates, my balcony garden and lots of desserts, it seems that dinner has fallen to the wayside.  Truth be told in the summer I get a bit lazy and will do a lot [...]

Country Rhubarb Cake

On May 27, 2010 · 3 Comments

One of the downsides to living in Toronto (vs. say the tropics) is the lack of fresh amazing produce available year round.  While I don’t strive for a totally local diet there are a few things that I avoid buying when they have to travel miles and miles to get here [...]

Easter 2010

On April 21, 2010 · 3 Comments

Clearly I’m a bit behind on my posting.  This is what I had for Easter dinner!  For me Easter means ham.  Growing up my mom would never buy a whole ham because she didn’t like ham and my sister (misguidedly) doesn’t eat pork.  So one year when I was living by myself [...]

Ropa Vieja

Recently, I’ve been having a wicked craving for Cuban food.  Problem is there’s barely any Cuban food in Toronto.  I always here about a place called Julie’s Cuban but it gets mixed reviews and I never remember it when I’m picking restaurants.  When I lived in New York there were a [...]

Slow-Roasted Red-Wine-Lacquered Salmon Fillet

On February 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Hello all!  After  week’s vacation in Jamaica I’m back to the cold and the blogosphere.  Sadly no Jamaica related posts… it really wasn’t a take pictures of your food kind of vacation, although I did do some good eating.  I ate a ton of fresh-caught, never frozen fish, locally grown yams, bananas, [...]

Salmon is such a staple in my house and I’m forever looking for ways to jazz it up.  Every once in a while I’ll log onto Epicurious and do a search for salmon and see what strikes my fancy.  I came across this recipe for salmon with lentils and was totally [...]

Ding Dong Eight-Alarm Chili

On November 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Don’t you love the name of this chili?  I think that’s what drew me to it.  I was craving chili the other day and normally I would make my normal chili (blogged about here). I don’t have a strict recipe, I kind of just use my judgment and throw things into the pot.  [...]

Pumpkin-Pecan Pie with Whiskey Butter Sauce

On November 16, 2009 · 1 Comment

I don’t think you guys are ready for this one.  I didn’t realize I wasn’t ready until I tasted it.  I had a frozen pie crust in my freezer that had been taking up space for weeks.  I finally decided to get my act together and figure out what to fill the pie crust with. [...]

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Sage

On November 14, 2009 · 2 Comments

Me and this recipe go waaaay back.  I found it in Bon Appetit back in 2005 and have loved it ever since.  Prior to seeing this in Bon App I had never even thought about the idea of Sweet Potato Gnocchi but when I read the recipe it sounded oh so right.

Now [...]

Folly Island Shrimp and Grits

On October 17, 2009 · 1 Comment

I love me some shrimp and grits.  If you type in “grits” into the search field on this plug about 4 different recipes for shrimp and grits.  There’s just something about shrimp on top of creamy grits.  While I love the recipes that I normally use I’m constantly on the lookout for new recipes [...]
