My relationship with kale is complicated. The first time I made kale chips, I lost them. I went though all the care of preserving them, quite liked the results and put them somewhere and couldn`t find them. That experience pretty much sums up my entire life experience with kale – it`s the one thing I`ve [...]

Gluten-Free Corn Tortilla Recipe (How to Make Tortillas)
Posted in Other, Vegetarian on November 16, 2011 | 23 Comments »
Since Kate left our house (and how we miss her!), I`ve spent a lot of time thinking about gluten. Kate shared so much information about cooking Gluten-free and it fascinates me – after all, gluten is my favorite food group. To imagine living without it is very difficult for me; which is why it has [...]
Appleslaw (also Pearslaw) recipe.. Awesome with Fried Fish, Pork or as a side…
Posted in Sides, Salads and Snacks, Vegetarian on November 13, 2011 | 6 Comments »
When we shared a photo of last night’s Appleslaw on the FaceBook group, I hadn’t planned on sharing the recipe. I just didn’t figure people would be THAT interested. The wonderful thing about instant feedback is you can learn very quickly that you’re wrong and make adjustments; so I promised to share the recipe. Like [...]
The Simplest Hot Sauce Recipe (and it`s Awesome!)
Posted in Other, Vegetarian on August 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
My cousin from New Brunswick came to visit us from her new home (Shanghai) and brought along her fabulous Mexican boyfriend and he taught me how to make the most fantastic hot sauce. I`ve made a few modifications since then and I`ll identify them in the recipe. We brought this to a party last night [...]
How to Make your Own Skim Milk Ricotta Cheese (Recipe)
Posted in Other, Vegetarian on August 4, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I don’t think I’ll ever become a cheesemaker but I find it fascinating to learn to make things that I otherwise take for granted this it’s important to me that I learn a bit about how to make cheese. When it comes to ricotta, it’s super easy, limited ‘equipment’ or special ingredients are needed and [...]
Homemade Watermelon Jello (Vegetarian as well)
Posted in Deserts, Vegetarian on July 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
This recipe was born out of curiosity and I recognize that squeezing a solid watermelon into a liquid for the purpose of making it solid again is pretty silly. But isn`t that just the point sometimes? We squeezed and strained a watermelon (two different ways as described when we made this watermelon cocktail). We boiled [...]
Tips for Better Polenta
Posted in Vegetarian on May 29, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I am obsessed with polenta and have learned a lot about making it since I originally shared our recipe and one of the meals I cook with it (polenta, chevre and roasted peppers). Since that time I’ve spent a lot of time cooking it, discussing it with others and picking the heads of some of [...]
How to Make Age Tofu (Deep-Fried Tofu)
Posted in Vegetarian on May 28, 2011 | 2 Comments »
If you`re not comfortable with deep-frying, you`ll want to skip this one. Water is the enemy of oil (and will cause grave problems) and tofu is packed in and with water. Make sure you know safety techniques with frying such as having a lid and baking powder to smother if needed. Drain the tofu well [...]
No-Potato Ricotta Gnocchi Perfection
Posted in Vegetarian on May 16, 2011 | 6 Comments »
We had a wonderful meal lately at a Toronto restaurant that rocked my world with gnocchi that were light and fluffy and made with ricotta cheese instead of potato. I bookmark experiences like this and set mental plans to try to recreate or experiment within my kitchen. In the process of making dinner last night [...]
