Originally published on February 28, 2014 Who doesn’t love onion rings? They’re so good, and this recipe reminds me of some of the best onion rings on the planet – those that come from A&W. Anyone else think the same? Whatever these rings remind you of, they are delicious and pretty easy to make. Ingredients: […]

Carrot Puree Garnish
Originally published on March 1, 2014 Whenever I’ve made a carrot side dish, I’ve typically made only roasted or glazed carrots(with the occasional carrot salad popping up now and then.) But all the purees being shown on the cooking competition shows (think Chopped and MasterChef,) got me thinking about just really mashing them up really fine. I mean, what […]
Cold Oven Roast Beef
Originally published on March 2, 2014 There are all kinds of ways you can make roast beef, but this is one that I find most fascinating – letting it cook in a cold oven. Yes, it does go against everything you know about cooking and yes, you will be nervous for the entire 2+ hours it […]
Chicken Involtini
Originally published on March 4, 2014 This is another one of those recipes that I first saw on MasterChef (MasterChef Canada, to be exact) and knew that it was something I had to try. It sounded so interesting to me, and while I had stuffed chicken breast in this way before, I had no idea that it […]
Veggie Dip
Originally published on March 5, 2014 The thing that scared me the most about doing this reduced-carb thing for the month of March was the fact that I would have to say good-bye to snacking as a whole. But just like everything else, you can still snack – even as much as you want – […]
Ginger Beef
Originally published on March 6, 2014 I love flank steak. In fact, I love it so much that I’m willing to say it’s my favourite type of steak. Yes, I’d even put it over sirloin and rib-eye, particularly when we’re talking about weeknight dinners. I just think it’s that good. And I think a few years […]
Italian Sausage and Peppers
Originally published on March 7, 2014 What’s to say about this classic Italian dish? It’s salty, savoury, and has the tiniest bit of zip from the vinegar you add to the peppers right at the end. Whenever I cook Italian sausages I always boil them first to cook them through, and then grill or saute […]
Cucumber and Tomato Salad
Originally published on March 14, 2014 I’m one of those people that doesn’t see a whole lot of point in having lettuce in salads. I mean, I have nothing against lettuce per se, but when there are so many other delicious vegetables, what’s the point? In Caesar salad, I get it. It’s a main component. […]
Sweet and Sour Cucumbers
Originally published on March 15, 2014 Yesterday I gave you a classic recipe for a cucumber and tomato salad, which is always a big hit at our table. But I recently discovered a side dish that might just replace that salad. You take away the oil and the tomatoes and replace it with sugar (just a […]
Chicken Fried Cauliflower
Originally published on March 17, 2014 If you follow me on Facebook you might remember when I told you last week that experts were now saying that cauliflower is the new kale. I didn’t come up with that all on my own. I watched Bethenny Frankel talk about it on her show, when she had […]
