I haven’t posted on here in so long I seriously feel like a stranger on my own blog. Although, I cook almost every day, I’ve just been really uninspired to carve the time out to post any recipes. It started when I got real busy and would put off posting “until tomorrow”. Tomorrow turned into…

Simple Banana Bread
I’ve been gone a while and guess where I was? China. Yup…the far east, home of about 1.3 billion people! Then after getting back, I got sick as a dog and I’m just now getting back into my groove. I get why the citizens use masks, the pollution is crazy and it got me good….
Pickled Red Onions
One of the tricks of preparing easy meals is having things prepared in advance. How many times have you gone to the market and bought way too much produce with grandiose ideas of all the meals you’ll be making? The week starts and reality sets in…there is no way you will be able to use all your…
Decadent Chocolate Almond Cookies
It’s hump day and more importantly, we made it to February! Is it me or is time flying by? It seems like I just celebrated the new year and here we are dashing into the second month of the year already. For those of you who made resolutions, you better get on with it or…

Matoke with Groundnut Sauce
Last year, I accompanied my sister to Kampala, Uganda and I had the pleasure of eating one of their staple dishes – matoke with groundnut sauce. “Matoke” are a variety of green bananas, which cannot be eaten raw – they must be steamed or boiled for consumption. “Groundnut Sauce” is basically peanut sauce. Groundnuts…
Spaghetti with Pesto
Is it me or does it seem like the closer you get to the end of the year the faster the days fly by? I feel like I used to get so much done during the day and still have time left over to plan dinner menus. I’m almost convinced that the days are getting…
Pizza Pizza!
Have you ever had pizza so bad that the crust tasted like cardboard? Tomatoes acidic…check. Grainy cheese…check. Flavourless toppings…check. On the flip side have you ever had pizza so good you wanted to just curl up in the corner and purr? Everyone has a favourite pizza memory and every pizza they eat after that…
