This quinoa fried rice has no rice. And no fried. It’s kind of like flourless cookies. And grain-free oatmeal. And cauliflower rice. It defies the very definition of the food itself; yet we’re all a little into it? Lately I crave things that can be enjoyed both hot and cold. Things that are delicious until proven guilty. Things like this riceless friedless quinoa fried rice. If you’ve made my Easy Vegetable Teriyaki Stir Fry before, you know I love a good one meal wonder....

I am a sandwich obsessive. Put anything between two slices of bread and I’m bound to love it. I had some left-over roast chicken a couple of days ago and knew it was destined to be turned into an awesome sandwich. But there are so many options. I decided to take inspiration from one of my favourite sandwiches at one of my favourite restaurants, Lucky Bread Co. They have this spicy chicken melt, mozzarella sandwich thing that makes my mouth water every....

The perfect simple side dish for fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Acorn squash is sweet, nutty, and satisfying. My favorite way to cook it is in the oven.

Updated December 22, 2020 Maxwell LOVES bananas and eats them like crazy. He is always begging for a nana. I am glad he likes bananas, but he is messing with my banana baking routine. I buy bananas to eat, but I never have the intention of eating them ALL. I buy them so I can eat a few and let the rest turn brown so I can bake with them....

Slow roasted lamb is synonymous with Easter and this succulent Greek lamb cooked with potatoes, garlic and rosemary is going to become a family favourite in no time. Slow roasting the lamb in wine and stock allows the meat to become fall-apart tender and results in a rich delicious gravy to pour over the lamb when serving. The potatoes suck up all those glorious flavours from the lamb, garlic, rosemary and wine....

Roasted broccoli is by far the side dish I make most often. It’s just so easy. Plus it goes with everything. Whether you’re serving chicken, fish, lamb, beef or pork, oven roasted broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish. I like to prepare it ahead and just keep it covered before placing in a hot oven to roast until the edges start to crisp and the broccoli is fully cooked....

Updated October 06, 2020 We had a barbecue over the weekend and I was going to make spinach artichoke dip, but I didn’t want to turn on the oven because it was hot outside and I didn’t want to heat up our house even more. So instead, I made Spinach Artichoke Pasta Salad. You can’t go wrong with a pasta salad during the hot summer months, especially this one!...

The dressing totally makes the salad. It was inspired by a fabulous one my boyfriend’s mom made last week, loaded with fresh strawberries, feta and a perfectly sweet dressing. Being the health freak that I am, I upped the vinegar, ditched the sugar for pure maple syrup, lowered the amount of oil and added a touch of water. The dressing tastes pretty much the same as the original, but boasts a much better nutrition profile....

While so many Chinese recipes call for a wok to make stir fry, I tend to disagree. I used to live in an apartment with an electric stove, and it never generated heat quickly enough for wok cooking. Plus wok cooking requires more oil. Even after moving to New York, where I have a gas stove in the apartment, I still have the habit of using a nonstick skillet so I can reduce my oil consumption in daily meals....

Nuh-uh. You know when you go to a Mexican restaurant and you order a taco salad and what comes out is more of a tac-uh-oh salad? Ya know, some sad iceberg lettuce, a greasy shell, and a blob of sour cream? No thank you, señorita. Tonight I had a moment. I had all the essential for taco night in my fridge. I pretty much never make taco-ish things…but there was an avocado dying in the crisper and an unopened bag of corn tortillas....

You might have seen sweet taro bread at an Asian bakery. Sometimes they are made into dinner rolls, and sometimes the taro filling is baked into a loaf of bread. Today I want to share this beautiful swirled taro bread that uses a very simple milk bread dough. You can easily put the bread dough together using a mixer. The filling is made with taro and purple sweet potato to add color, then sweetened with condensed milk and sugar....

Ingredients and Substitutions Salmon. I used fresh salmon fillets but frozen and thawed salmon can also be used. Teriyaki sauce. I prefer making the teriyaki sauce from scratch. This way I control the amount of sweetness and salt in the recipe. I use soy sauce (low sodium soy sauce can be used too), rice vinegar, fresh garlic and ginger, honey and brown sugar. Store-bought teriyaki sauce can be substituted. To keep this recipe gluten-free, use coconut aminos or tamari instead of the soy sauce....
