A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of going to an Australian themed food party. The lovely hostess served a crazy amount of delicious food and I have to admit, I stuffed myself to the point where I felt a little sick. I couldn’t help myself, everything was so good! It was also the [...]

Eggplant and Summer Squash Pizza
August 30, 2009
A while ago, my youngest sister came over to visit and when she stepped inside the apartment she handed me a frozen lump. “It’s store bought pizza dough, but we’re not gonna use it so you do something with it,” she said. I threw it in the freezer and forgot about that lump of dough. [...]
Turkey Tetrazzini
August 28, 2009
Comfort food at its best. This little dish comes from a diet comfort food magazine I bought a long time ago. Apparently, one serving of this turkey tetrazzini is only worth 400 calories. That’s not so bad for a whole single serving. And, it’s quite filling and delicious. Recipe for 6 servings: 1/2 pound uncooked [...]
Chanterelle Risotto and French Bread
August 26, 2009
On Monday, Jay and I made a little trip to our local farmers market at Sorauren Ave Park near Dundas West and Lansdowne. It’s open on Mondays from 3pm to 7pm, Summer to Fall. It’s a very small market and even though we were disappointed by the lack of variety, we still managed to spend [...]
Scrumptious Vegetarian!
August 24, 2009
So easy to make and so wonderful to devour, tonight’s dinner was a “One Pot Wonder,” as Jay likes to call delicious one pot dinners. I had a can of lentils and a fairly large zucchini beginning to get wrinkly. I cut a whole onion into chunks and I sautéed it in a large pot [...]
Saturday Chicken, Sunday Biscuits
August 24, 2009
I have been thinking a lot about the Carrot Juice Chicken I made last week. It truly was spectacular and since then I’ve been wondering about using other types of juices to cook meat in. I was inspired and on Saturday, I decided to experiment with tomato juice. I used V8 juice with high fibre [...]
Yogurt Smoothies
August 20, 2009
I need to blog about my new-found love of yogurt smoothies! I have never been a big fan of plain yogurt, unless it’s strained and made into a dip. To me, plain yogurt is like eating sour milk. However, I do love eating sweetened vanilla yogurt and fruit blend yogurt. I’m not sure why I [...]
Coffee Chops and Blue Cheese Pasta
August 18, 2009
I have laid to rest my French Food At Home book, temporarily. After making Laura Calder recipes for a week I have discovered that some of her recipes are awesome and some are not so scrumptious. I cannot tell if the recipes were not wonderful due to my inability to follow directions correctly from time [...]
On the Danforth
August 16, 2009
It has been an incredibly hot sunny day, perfect for eating out on a patio and strolling along the Danforth and so that is where I met my Mom to grab some lunch. We decided to go to The Greek Grill located at the corner of Danforth and Carlaw. My Mom and I sat outside [...]
Amazing Chicken and Carrots
August 16, 2009
Last night’s dinner was fantastic and I will definitely make it again. This is another Laura Calder French Food At Home recipe. I’ve been making one meal a day from her book for the past week and tonight will be the last one. I’m not sure yet which book I’ll be using, if any in [...]
