Ok, so I kinda forgot to take a picture because my stomach was too impatient and didn’t give me a chance to take a shot. As Jay put it while rubbing his belly, “Damn, that was the best pork chop I’ve ever had.” I’m gonna have to agree. Normally with pork chops I’ll tear open [...]

Garlic Roast Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon
October 7, 2011
I bought Rachael Ray’s Cooking ‘Round The Clock a few years ago and since then I’ve made a little over a handful of her recipes. Why haven’t I made more than that? I think my theory is to stick to recipes that looks exceedingly simple and require easy to obtain ingredients. This has got to [...]
Italian Simplicity
May 2, 2011
I recently found myself in amidst the lush seaside cliffs and colourful stucco houses that make up Cinque Terre in the Italian Riviera. I travelled to the tiny village of Corniglia, aboard a train that sped through tunnels carved through the rocky cliffs and the first thing I did was visit the only food shop [...]
Chicken Pilaff
February 24, 2010
I own this great cookbook called Dinner With Friends by Jane Price. I’ve tried several recipes from this book in the past and they, for the most part, have been amazing. Last night this book introduced me to a new way of cooking rice with chicken or meat without having to first cook the rice. [...]
Two Soup Fails?
February 19, 2010
Wednesday was a cloudy, dark, and gloomy day. Soft, light snow fell followed by heavy, wet snow – perfect day for hot steamy dishes like soup. For lunch I wanted something simple and comforting. On top of the fridge we have a bag of alphabet pasta Jay and I purchased on a whim several months [...]
Green Chili…again
January 28, 2010
Ever since the first time I made this Green Chili, I’ve been dreaming about it, plotting and scheming to make it again. At last, I decided it was time and tonight I died and went to pork heaven. Just as before, each piece of slowly cooked pork melted in my mouth and the sweet spice [...]
Bean and Veggie Stew
January 18, 2010
Oh it’s been such a long time since I last posted! I was away for the holidays and since coming back a week ago, I’ve had to fight the immense feeling of procrastination. It’s been a tough battle but I’ve finally come through. The holidays were wonderful and delicious but oh so unforgiving to my [...]
Hungarian Chorizo and Lentil “Stoup”
December 3, 2009
November was a crazy month what with working on my school assignments and writing my NaNoWriMo novel. But the fun hasn’t stopped yet. My story isn’t finished and next comes the revision part. I bet if it were summer I wouldn’t feel as inclined to spend a month indoors to write a novel but because [...]
Achiote Chicken
November 26, 2009
My goodness it’s been a while. I’ve been so busy with the National Novel Writing Month that after working all day on my novel I can’t seem to find the energy to make a decent meal, let alone write about it. But tonight I make an exception because I’ve neglected my lovely blog for too [...]
Two fantastic soups
November 14, 2009
These days, when I think of Weight Watchers I don’t think about the points – I’m not really counting points or following the diet, I just like to think I’m eating a little healthier. Instead I think about how yummy my dinner is going to be. Of course, there are some Weight Watchers meals that [...]
