The Best Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Hey there! Why would I, a carb-worshiper, make a cauliflower pizza crust? Because its delicious but also because my husband is doing a sort of Paleo diet so he can’t have bread. (omg) Needless to say, coming up with totally carb-free dinners and lunches can be a challenge but luckily, I’m up to it. We both love…

Dad’s Chickpeas and Pasta
Hello all, All my life, my dad made chickpeas in one form or another – either on their own, boiled in seasoned water or with pasta. I wouldn’t even touch it; it just didn’t appeal to me but now I realize what I’ve been missing all these years! He gave me a small bowl for…

Fall-Off-the-Bone Pork Back Ribs (Make ahead)
Hello there! If you’ve ever made ribs or are simply a rib lover, you know that the best are slowly cooked. I bought ribs at Costco this weekend, thinking that I would somehow make them during the week but I work full-time therefore slow cooking anything can be a challenge. My solution was to make them in two…

Claudia’s Fudgy Paleo Brownies
Hello there! I’m crazy about brownies, especially the delicious & healthy kind. (Yes, they exist) Remember my Mind Blowing Black Bean Brownies ? Well, I now have another brownie recipe and it happens to be Paleo-friendly (Caveman approved)! These have a fudgey texture, made with 70% dark chocolate; without flour or processed sugar yet they can satisfy the…

Pull-Apart Cheesy Garlic Bread
Hello all! I wanted to call this “Party Bread” because it is sooo awesome – its best served at a party but it’s also like a party in your mouth. When you take a bite you wanna dance around in place a bit 🙂 People do that sometimes when they eat something really good. Well, the people…

Edible Memories, Rosina’s Table
Hey foodies! My sister Bianca has always dreamed of putting together a collection of our favourite family recipes, so she decided to make it her personal mission of sorts; a study on food and how it has the power to unite people. On her website she features some of our grandmother’s most memorable recipes along with some stunning food photography. So…

General Tso’s Chicken – Quick + Oven baked
Hello there, You know when you eat something for supper that is so good that you happily pack up the leftovers in anticipation for the next day? Then the next morning you are sitting there, drumming your fingers on your desk at work, counting the hours and minutes until lunch time. OMG! How can it still be 11:55!? That was me…

El Rey del Taco – Montréal
El Rey del Taco Marché Jean-Talon 234 Jean Talon Est , Montreal QC H2R1S7 Urbanspoon rating Although I rarely feel compelled to write restaurant reviews these days, I could not let this experience go by un-celebrated. A great food experience for me boils down to my tummy feeling warm and happy but also, I associate food with good…

English Banoffee Pie
Banoffee = Banana and toffee. Those two elements are very delicious together, soft and unctuous indeed, only improved further by the crunchy texture of the sweet crust, and airy-cool vanilla-bean whipped cream, sprinkled all over with shredded chocolate “snowflakes” for good measure. Light and decadent at the same time, it is the most heavenly and satisfying dessert…

April’s Swiss Chard with Olive Oil
Hey there! Following my last post about the too-amazing-for-words Tunnel of Fudge cake, I felt I needed to go lighter in this one….a lot lighter. So, I made April Bloomfield’s super simple Swiss Chard with Olive oil. She is my new favourite chef. The leaves were tender and glistening. The fresh garlic and fruity olive oil flavours…

Tunnel of Fudge Cake
Hey there y’all, As you may know, I am currently on a Southern Food kick. Its not my fault, its the book I am reading…or rather listening to. A couple of years back I discovered audio books on Audible.com. I always wanted to read certain books but rarely had time to sit down and have…

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
Hello there! Southern biscuits have a wonderful soft flakey texture with a buttery taste. Crispy on the outside with an almost cake-like softness on the inside. I am in love with them, as much as you can be in love with food. Eat them sweet, savoury or just plain, for breakfast, dinner or even dessert.…

Bay House Mashed Green Plantains
Hey there! Being of Italian descent, this post sure feels like it comes out of left field for me. Previous thoughts : Plantains…we don’t eat them. We just know that they look like bananas but cannot be eaten as such. We also know that many people from different backgrounds buy them but …”What do they do with them?”, I’d wonder.…

Quick and Healthy – Baked Fish Tacos with Avocado topping
Yesterday I left work late, had nothing planned for supper and did not want to “cop-out” and get take-out. So I vowed to cook, no matter how late it would be when I was done. Well, within reason of course. I remembered having seen this recipe for fish tacos that sounded interesting so I stopped into the…

Mini Post – Sweet Potato “Buns”
Hey all! Once again Pinterest has inspired me to make something I would never have otherwise made. Actually, that is only true in part. It was my niece Claudia who asked, “what else can I do with sweet potatoes? I’m fed up…” She is a fitness enthusiast and watches what she eats. She is even…

Meatloaf with ‘Awesome Sauce’
I feel like I’ve been talking about and craving meatloaf for years…. Actually, I have. The reason is that I can seldom enjoy one. My husband hates most minced meat meals. So, Paté Chinois, meat pie, hamburger steak, sloppy-Joe and meatloaf are all on the ‘no-cook list’. I, on the other hand love them all. Oh!…

Sicilian Blood Orange Tea Cake
Hey there! This cake initially caught my eye because of its pretty pink frosting with those lovely, glossy blood orange slices on top and of course, the originality of it. You can always find recipes for lemon cakes or lemon loaves but never blood orange – the rare beauty. I found this where you can find all of…

These eggplant and white bean ‘meatballs’ are baked full of deliciousness – with grated Pecorino Romano cheese, fragrant pressed garlic and loads…
