The Last Supper Pizza Party with 4 Pizza Inspirations
Friday June 14, 2013 - Comments
Mushroom Pizza: with tomato sauce base, mushrooms, leeks, mozzarella and chives
Well, I am going away for a few weeks. I have some great recipes planned for when I get back, but with all the packing and stressing, I haven't been taking enough photographs- so I will have to re-make and re-photograph all the dinners and desserts I have made in the past few weeks- which is by no means a bad thing! Since I tend to obsess and think about food for the better part of the day every day.

Stuffed Mushroom Cap-Apps
Wednesday June 5, 2013 - Comments
I love finger food. If I could eat every meal with my hands and not get chastized or made fun of I would. I strongly believe that hands make the best cutlery- they are perfect for mixing, testing, scraping and everything in-between. AND bonus: they are always there when we need them. No need to go searching for that spatula that keeps running away. We were given hands for a reason- Why not use them? (Just make sure they are clean of course)

Mung Bean Salad with Sundried Tomatoes
Wednesday May 29, 2013 - Comments
When I am having cookers-block (it can be a serious problem at times), my favourite place to turn is the library. This way I don't have to commit to a book if I don't like it (let's not read into this too much shall we).

Lavender Berry Biscotti
Tuesday May 21, 2013 - Comments
Dried lavender is one of those flowers which smells gorgeous, looks lovely and doesnt wilt! What a wonderful centerpiece for your kitchen table.
AND you can use it in recipes to add a floral note that pairs perfectly with berries... and chocolate...

Chasing Rainbows with Purple Cabbage Salad
Sunday April 28, 2013 - Comments
Thunderstorms are one of my favourite things about the warmer months. I love a good torrential rain. I like it even better when it's followed by rainbows.
Since rainbows are not an everyday thing...why don't we make our own? Let's eat like the rainbow- Different colours of vegetables have different nutrients so it's good to eat a variety of colours.
And it's more fun. Food should be fun. It should make you smile.

Tomate-o,Tomot-o Salmon
Saturday April 20, 2013 - Comments
No biggy, just a quick week-night meal.
I was watching Iron Chef America and was inspired. You never know when inspiration will hit. I usually just take it and run with it.
Straight to the kitchen
On the menu: I served salmon with tomatoes, a purple kale salad, roasted potatoes and beet chips (recipe coming soon!)

Chocolate and Beets and Muffins OH MY!
Wednesday April 3, 2013 - Comments
If I ever have children I will totally sneak vegetables into EVERYTHING. Smoothies? Check. Muffins? Hells to the yes. Pancakes? Way ahead of you.
They won't know what hit them. I'm going to be like the vegetable fairy... Fruit Ninja... Nutrition Wizard!
I wonder what that would look like on my business card...

Chicken Tagine
Thursday March 14, 2013 - Comments
Do you have a go to dinner party dish? This is mine.
This chicken tagine is fragrant, wonderfully tender, and oh so easy. And I would totally eat it at least once a week. It's on the list of my favourite foods with my other obsessions like this fennel salad, and this bread and I can't forget the most delicious ice cream ever.

Almond Butter and Banana Phyllo Triangles (Dessert-Borek)
Tuesday February 26, 2013 - Comments
I apologize for my almost 2 week blogging hiatus. I have found myself lacking in motivation and have been feeling more inclined to sit on the couch and watching episode after episode of Doctor Who than do my school work and post recipes.

Almost-All-Natural Mint Nanaimo Bars (made with dates and chick peas!)
Tuesday February 05, 2013 - Comments
The combination of chocolate and mint is my kryptonite.
Lately I've been trying my hand at some more meal-related dishes and letting my baking take a rest. Then there's less temptations around the house for me to eat (because I have no willpower).
Then the other day I cracked and made these.

Coconut Squash Soup with Red Pepper Purée
Monday January 28, 2013 - Comments
Have you ever had a movie-moment?
I totally had a Cinderella moment. Sans handsome prince. It was actually more embarrassing than cute.
I was running across a busy intersection in Toronto (the light had just turned yellow) and I thought I could make it because I ran track in high school and it obviously prepared me for this moment.

Best Brunch: Hash-Brown Quiche
Monday January 21, 2013 - Comments
I don't often make quiche, but when I do, I make it with hash-browns.
I think it's time to make a dish with the most economical of ingredients. Eggs.

Rosemary Sesame Wheat Bread
Tuesday January 15, 2013 - Comments
I've started the new year out right. I have spent the majority of my time watching movies. It may be giving me a skewed outlook on reality, but I'm trying to get it out of my system before my workload gets too intense...

Winter Cabbage Salad with Cranberries and Pecans
Thursday January 10, 2013 - Comments
Have you ever heard the expression you can't make friends with salad?
Lies...
Salads always get a bad rep as "Rabbit food". I don't understand why. They are able to combine so many flavours, textures and colours into one dish. Maybe people are just scared? Don't worry. I'll hold your hand through it.

Imitation Raincoast Crisps
Monday December 17, 2012 - Comments
Have you ever had Raincoast crisps? They are amazing. Crispy crackers studded with dried fruit and nuts. They are super addictive, go AMAZINGLY with cheese... AND they cost like 700$ $7.00 per package. Yikes...
I made my own. You can too!

Christmas Wrapping, Procrasti-baking and Anise-Orange-Almond Biscotti
Monday December 10, 2012 - Comments
If you follow EC on facebook you may have heard that I have been procrasti-baking. It's exam time (why am I putting myself thorough this AGAIN?), hence I am trying my hardest to be productive in every other area of my life OTHER than studying.
My room is SPOTLESS. The kitchen is clean as a whistle. I'm making lots of food and "testing" my Christmas recipes.
...I made 4 batches of biscotti.

A Pizza Party and a Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza with Arugula and Prosciutto
Saturday December 1, 2012 - Comments
Did you know that pizza is like a magic food? It brings people together.
Good friends and good food are what makes living in a new city so much better. When I first moved to Toronto, it was terribly lonely. I left all my lovely friends to move to a huge city where I knew essentially no one.

Chocolate Beet Cakes with Candied Beets
Friday November 23, 2012 - Comments
Remember those candied beets I made? I obviously had a plan for them. It included cake.
I've been dreaming about making this cake for months. I had a vision and I was weary to try it, unsure if it would turn out how I had planned. I felt like I built it up in my mind and I was afraid to attempt it!

Candied Beets
Tuesday November 20, 2012 - Comments
If you follow my facebook page, you may have seen I posted this past weekend about making candied beets. I'll keep you hanging until Friday about the finished presentation.
Patience is a virtue.
Wait, who am I to preach about patience? Impatient is my middle name.
