Peach Salsa
When I make a salsa, it often involves fruit. My go-to’s are usually mango, pineapple and papaya. All of them being acidic fruits, they blend really well with the other ingredients such as cilantro, lime and jalapeños. Only problem is they are also tropical fruits which doesn’t make them a very eco-friendly option. Don’t get me wrong I don’t always use local products and I am as guilty as anyone of buying imported produce. Continue reading “Peach Salsa”

I’ll just give you a quick breakdown just to make sure everybody knows what the heck I’m talking about here. Korma is a dish made of meat and/or vegetables braised in a spiced sauce mixed with yogurt, cream or nuts. Continue reading “Macadamia Chicken Korma”
Vietnamese Chopped Salad
It’s spring time everybody! How freaking exciting is that?! I love season changes. Except for winter. I could definitely live without winter. But spring means no more snow, it means a lot more fresh local produce, means summer is coming and salads are on the menu again! Not that you can’t eat them in the winter but I think you know what I mean. Continue reading “Vietnamese Chopped Salad”
