I’ve had another California first, I bought the tastiest grapes I’ve ever had at the farmers market. Ok, well that does sound underwhelming but these grapes were picked that day and had the most intensely sweet grape flavor. It was nothing like I ever had before and I knew these were some grapes to have…
BBQ Oven Roasted Cabbage
There are on many occasions where friends and family have a barbecue or cookout and forget to have a vegetarian option. Potato salad is delicious, but can’t count as a meal (it’s too much mayo anyways). I recently saw a video on Bon Appetit for a BBQ beer can cabbage and thought both how ridiculous…
Roasted Rosemary Rack of Lamb with Mint Sauce
With Easter fast approaching I’ve been excited to cook with my favorite protein, lamb. For some (boyfriend included) lamb is an odd choice to be a favorite protein. But I LOVE seasoning with rosemary and lots of garlic, and with this Roasted Rosemary Rack of Lamb with Mint Sauce recipe, that Mint Sauce is just A+….
Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
It’s that time of year again where we finally get through the holidays and after eating every sugar cookie in sight are ready to fit back in our jeans. Don’t get me wrong, yoga pants are extremely comfortable but the do nothing to curb my expanding waistline. At least the jeans offer some resistance….
Roasted Mushroom Gnocchi with Cream Sauce
Mushrooms and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the taste of mushrooms but often hate the consistency. Nothing is worse than having rubbery mushrooms on a pizza or overly oily mushrooms. BUT I have found that roasting mushrooms not only brings out the flavour but has an amazing consistency. When I made my Roasted…
Pan Roasted Bacon Brussels Sprouts with Maple Vinaigrette
*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own* I have seen the light. It’s source is something that I have never cooked with up until recently and it is a cast iron pan. I recently started using this one from For The Chef and have been amazed by how the quality of my…
Herb Encrusted Lamb
Lamb is by far one of my favorite proteins. It has such a unique flavor and I just love how many different ways lamb can be seasoned. Herb encrusted lamb is now one of my favorite ways to season it. It creates a crispy, savory outer layer that is beyond delicious! When…
Asian Style Salmon
Tai calls this “the BEST fish he’s ever had!” Considering how most of the fish I’ve made for him has either been charred to death or half frozen/half raw in the center, I think this was a vast improvement. He says it even tops last week’s salmon, which I have to wholeheartedly agree with. Because…
Roasted Salmon with Dill Sauce
Well I did something that I rarely do, cook fish. My family is probably shocked that I just wrote that sentence. But YES I cooked fish! I LOVE seafood! I guess my New England upbringing is finally coming through. Last summer when Tai and I went to Maine on vacation, we met up with…
Maple Glazed Pork
I feel like I’ve been cooking the same quick and easy recipes lately. So I decided to do something different (And I’ve also realized that I’ve been posting way too many dessert recipes lately, if that can be considered a bad thing haha). Introducing Maple Glazed Pork! I still have some great maple syrup from…
