This past weekend, I was watching The Kitchn again on Food Network and was inspired by Geoffrey Zakarian’s hanger steak recipe. He is such an amazing Iron Chef and it’s so inspiring to watch him cook. On the show, the group made a steak and salsa recipe, much like my adapted version below. It was beyond […]
I’ve been cooking with zucchini a lot this week because we have so much of it in the summer. Last night, I made this casserole for dinner along with my Gluten Free Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins for dessert. With zucchini being such a versatile vegetable, it’s easy to mix it into both sweet and savory dishes. […]
I don’t have the world’s biggest garden, but we do have a backyard in the city (amazing!) and I can grow some herbs and veggies in it (double amazing!). Because I start planting very early in the Spring, most of our herbs and veggies are in full bloom this early in June, especially zucchini. We […]
I like having lighter dinners on Monday because after a weekend with Trevor, whose main course is generally always ice cream and more ice cream, I need something healthy. So, this dinner was perfect for tonight. I used my pantry and fridge staples, mixed them with some meat I had in the freezer and plopped […]
We always have an abundance of bananas in our house, so I tend to freeze them as soon as they start to brown. I love it because they get a second life as my foolproof banana bread or veggie packed muffin or one of the many other muffins I tend to stock our freezer with. […]
When I was a kid, my dad always loved making kabobs. Who am I kidding? I loved making kabobs too! They are fun and a bit of a novelty kind of dinner. They’re kind of like a choose your own adventure when it comes to how you eat them and what you choose to put […]
I really struggle with cooking dinner on Thursday’s because I desperately want it to be the weekend and I’m so tired come this part of the week. So I usually try to plan something quick, easy and healthy for Thursday’s. I love a good warm salad, so this fit the bill for being tasty and […]
I’ve had a few decadent meals in the past week, so I wanted to lighten dinner up a bit tonight with a (gluten-free) healthy dinner. It’s very filling and satisfying, but not in a way that will weigh you down. Even though salads can be tricky for kids, I tend to deconstruct it and give […]
Spring break has come to an end, and I wanted to ease into the week slowly with a simple soup. Lots of leftovers are key for me getting back into the swing of things. They make for easy lunches that I don’t have to think about. Chop, dump, set and forget. That’s the beauty of […]
Charoset is a combination of fruit and nuts made into a roughly chopped paste and is typically eaten on Passover. It’s a symbolic food – in color and texture – meant to remember the mortar the Israelites used when they were enslaved in Ancient Egypt. There are many ways of making charoset, including my families version. In our family recipe book, […]
