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
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
Paring Down The Grocery Budget
We will soon be switching to one income in the next month or so after my maternity leave ends and I will be leaving my position to become a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM). When I was younger, I used to imagine where I'd be at home as a SAHM, watching the kids and taking… Continue reading Paring Down The Grocery Budget
Black Beans
Long time no see! This past year has been super busy - I am actually expecting a baby in the next couple weeks! Maybe this is part of the 'nesting' phase, but I have been trying to get a few freezer meals ready for the first week and make some of our pantry favourites. I… Continue reading Black Beans
