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 […]

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Originally published on March 19, 2014 Yesterday we talked about “ricing” cauliflower – the process of putting florets into a food processor and pulsing it until they began to look just a bit larger than pieces of regular rice. Doing this allows you to take cauliflower to a whole new level, such as turning it […]

Cauliflower Tots

Originally published on March 20, 2014 Of all the cauliflower recipes I’ve given you this week, this one might be my favourite! I once watched a Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives where Guy Fieri interviewed a restaurant owner that made his own tater tots. There was much discussion about how this was a very difficult thing to do, and how […]

Buffalo Cauliflower

Originally published on March 22, 2014 All week long we’ve been looking at different cauliflower recipes because you know, cauliflower is the new kale. And I think we’ve proven that by shaping, reforming, and revamping cauliflower in many different ways. Today, we do it again with Buffalo Cauliflower. All the great taste of buffalo wings, in a […]

Cabbage and Bacon

Originally published on March 25, 2014 Bacon really does make everything better. I love cabbage just about any way you cook it, but I know a lot of people that don’t. But if you want to reap all the health benefits it holds, and not be distracted by that taste and texture you just can’t […]

Avocado and Eggs

Originally published March 27, 2014 This might be one of my new favourite recipes, especially for the middle of the day when I want something really tasty, really satisfying, but doesn’t take a long time to make. I’ve seen eggs stuffed into avocados and baked a couple of times, and it’s always been just a […]
