There is no greater feeling than that of falling into your apartment with sweat pouring down your face, neck, chest and legs after a gruelling jog. And nothing rewards a good jog as well as a salad does. It’s a much deserved treat you know you won’t regret or feel guilty about later. Oh and [...]

Nutty French Toast
September 29, 2009
Was feeling ravenous this morning. Eggs and bread usually take care of the morning hunger but I always have sunny side up with two slices of toast. This morning, I made French toast for maybe the second time in my life. 2 eggs 1/4 tsp almond extract Cinnamon Walnuts 2 slices of Jay’s homemade bread [...]
Honey Teriyaki Salmon and Rice
September 29, 2009
This was definitely a winner! From the Weight Watchers Turn Around Program book I made this amazing salmon last night. The recipes in that book are alright but some are fantastic. Here’s the recipe: Makes 4 servings, is worth 4 points per fillet 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce 1 tbsp chopped peeled fresh ginger 1 [...]
What I did with a Tex-Mex Mushroom Ragout

A few days ago I made a vegetarian dinner from the Weight Watchers Turn Around Program book. It’s called Tex-Mex Mushroom Ragout and this is how it’s made: Makes 2 Servings: 1 onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 lb fresh cremini or white button mushrooms, quartered 1/2 lb fresh portobello mushrooms, stems removed and [...]
Perfect Party Cake
September 21, 2009
I believe it was over a year ago that my friend sent me a link to this Perfect Party Cake (recipe here from Tartelette). Since then I had been looking for an excuse to make the cake but I could never seem to get around to making it. The recipe is originally from Baking From [...]
Oh my Food God, this is outrageous!
September 18, 2009
See previous post on jalapeño corn bread sandwich, toasted with melted Havarti cheese. The corn bread itself was nothing spectacular, hence why I turned it into sandwich bread. For lunch today I thought I’d make myself another corn bread sandwich with perhaps some cooked chicken breast as well as Havarti cheese. But, in my mind [...]
Uber Moist Chocolate Zucchini Cake
September 4, 2009
I was browsing through TasteSpotting’s food porn the other day and I came across a picture of chocolate zucchini cake. I’d never made cake or bread with zucchini before and I was curious so I clicked on the photo owner’s blog link. I was happy to find the recipe (here) and I made a decision [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Breakfast and Dinner
August 10, 2009
It used to be that most Saturday mornings I would wake up and fry two eggs and several strips of bacon. That tradition went on a little break when I began to eat only egg whites and no bacon. For the past month, however, I have not been dieting and so I decided to make [...]
