My sister has requested this recipe - it was actually made for the holidays for my in-laws who ate everything I made! It is pretty simple, which makes it even better. I also don't have all of the traditional equipment in order to make it but we made due, so I will share my modifications!… Continue reading Mofongo con Mariscos (Plantain Fritters with a Creamy Tomato Seafood Sauce)

Buffalo Jackfruit Dip
Jackfruit is amazing. I came across it a few years ago when the 'Barbecue Jackfruit' got super popular. But what about seasoning it for plain old 'shredded chicken'? Maybe you want it as a taco filling, or perhaps... as the shredded chicken for Buffalo dip?? Buffalo Jackfruit Dip (Adapted from Frank's Red Hot) 1 can of… Continue reading Buffalo Jackfruit Dip
Holiday Recipe Lineup!
What all do you do for Thanksgiving? We end up going to around three events every year and have been hosting a Friendsgiving for the past 4 years. Since we are less than a week away from Thanksgiving and it is crunch time, I thought I'd share some of my favourite vegetarian and vegan recipes… Continue reading Holiday Recipe Lineup!
Kimchi Fried Rice
When I lived in Korea, often times when going out to eat with my host family, it was always somewhere to eat 'meat'. We would go and order Samgyeopsal (Korean style pork belly), Galbi (marinated ribs), or Bulgogi (marinated beef). The server brings out the meat to your table, and you cook it on the… Continue reading Kimchi Fried Rice
Taco Red Beans
This is one of the fillings for tacos that I mentioned in my previous Taco Tuesday post! An alternative to ground beef, we normally use this recipe in our 'classic' taco. I've also made a big batch of this for friends when we have a taco bar, and I've had people ask me for the recipe. Taco… Continue reading Taco Red Beans
Summer Harvest Strata
Right before the first frost, we harvested all of our tomatoes off of the plants as much as we could. I got a whole bunch of San Marzano tomatoes, dried them, and now have this lovely batch of sun dried tomatoes to use up. My husband made two loaves of bread and voila! I knew… Continue reading Summer Harvest Strata
Salmon Burgers
So I had NEVER had a salmon burger before my Uncle Manny came to town and decided he would make us some. His secret, he says, is that salmon burgers need to be made of salmon. No egg, no binder, just salmon. And man, is he right. Salmon Burgers Ingredients: 1lb fresh salmon, skinned, chopped… Continue reading Salmon Burgers
Breakfast Mushroom Gravy
I mentioned this in last week's 'The Weekly Grin', but when we went to Portland last year, my husband and I fell in love with the wonderful vegetarian gravy options available in Portland. Our absolute favourite was Miss Delta! We went there twice for brunch and it was just ridiculously good. I had worked and worked… Continue reading Breakfast Mushroom Gravy
Peaches peaches peaches!
What do you do when you subscribe to a peach box and get 13 beautiful fresh peaches each week? You make ALL of the peach things... and then you can them! What a wonderful gift later in the year for Christmas -- fresh homemade canned peach anything and everything! So far, I'm on my fifth… Continue reading Peaches peaches peaches!
Potato Cabbage Piroshki
This is a childhood favourite recipe of mine! We would make this together, helping to roll out the dough or fill our own piroshki. My favourite dishes tend to be ones that we would make together as a family. It's one of the things I'm looking forward to doing with my daughter once she gets… Continue reading Potato Cabbage Piroshki
