I’ve had my eye on this breakfast idea for a while. Although I had never tasted this before making it myself, I had heard of it and thought it sounded delicious. I recently ended up in an Israeli ran restaurant called Greengos in Guatemala, and I saw the word ‘Shakshuka’ on the menu and actually had no idea what it was.
Ingredient: garlic
Pico de Gallo
Pico is something I like to have a big batch of so I can use it with different recipes. It goes great on top of grilled chicken breast aka ‘pollo a la plancha’, it’s good on tacos, burritos,etc. Continue reading “Pico de Gallo”
Easy Paleo Mayo
If you are wondering why anyone would ever go through the trouble of making their own mayo…Let me answer your question with a question: Have you read the back of a mayo jar lately? I don’t know about you but eating anything containing hydrogenated vegetable oil such as soybean or canola is right at the top of my NO list. And as tempted as I am to get into the juicy details of why these oils are absolutely awful for your health AND for the environment, I am going to let you do your own research and save the lecture for another time. For now, you’re just going to have to take my word for it. Continue reading “Easy Paleo Mayo”
Portobello Pesto Bacon & Egger
Have I mentioned I am a huge pesto fan? Well now you know! I usually make my pesto with pistachios but the health food store was all out this morning so I had to improvise. Cashews are always my base as they add a creamy texture any sauce, so I decided to keep that as a part of the recipe.
Seafood Pot with Fennel & White Wine Broth
Actually called Bouillabaise, this dish is generally found in French restaurants. I love this dish on a cold winter day with a nice crisp glass of white and a pair of slippers. I was at the fish store getting my ingredients and I get so bloody excited when I’m in there I want to buy one filet of every fish… Continue reading “Seafood Pot with Fennel & White Wine Broth”
Creole Grilled Chicken with Root Vegetable Puree
Have you ever had the Creole Chicken at Cactus Club? Best chicken I’ve ever had, by far. As soon as I tasted it for the first time, I knew I would be on a quest to find the recipe or at least something similar. Well, I couldn’t get my hands on Chef Fernie’s original recipe, but this comes pretty darn close! It is just so freaking juicy and full of flavours it will literally blow your mind. Continue reading “Creole Grilled Chicken with Root Vegetable Puree”
Crustless Kale & Prosciutto Quiche
I made this so I would have a breakfast for the next few days and save myself a bit of precious time in the morning. It is super easy to make and Continue reading “Crustless Kale & Prosciutto Quiche”
Paleo Bacon & Crab Mushrooms Caps
This whole stuffed mushroom idea started with me being at this beautiful fish store out of town and buying crabmeat, because it looked delicious but also because I can’t get it where I live. I already had a plan for dinner so I had to find a way to incorporate it into a side dish or an appetizer. Continue reading “Paleo Bacon & Crab Mushrooms Caps”
Indian Roasted Veggies
Try these delicious Indian Roasted Veggies as a side to any Indian dish! Works perfectly to soak up all the extra sauce from curries if you don’t eat rice! Continue reading “Indian Roasted Veggies”
Indian Butter Chicken
Indian butter chicken, one of my all time favourites. This is definitely one dish I’ve tried making at least 10 different ways. That’s the thing with curries; unless you follow a specific recipe and portion every ingredient and each spice to a T, you will get a slightly different result each time.
