Now look at these potato wedges. Can you see how crispy they are? I think you can. Can you see how delicious they are? Maybe not, so this is where you have to take my word for it. Trust me. They are super crispy, spicy, and oh so yummy. Somehow I never seem to make enough because they go too … [Read more...]
What? What's with the cauliflower poppers II? Well I have another version here, but I love my cauliflower so much I had to try it with different spices. But before I do I need to complain a little about the weather we've having. I can't take it anymore!! You Calgarians out there know what I'm … [Read more...]
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Remember that 1980's Pantene commercial? That's what I think of when I see these fries! Seriously. Look at them. They are gorgeous. But unlike that Pantene commercial this did happen over night, actually it happened in about an hour. Why do I remember these … [Read more...]
I know these aren't healthy for you but look at it this way, they're half healthy because it's cauliflower. And every once in a while you can indulge. I must tell you though, this is probably going to be the most tasty cauliflower you'll ever have. So yes, you shouldn't have this all the time, … [Read more...]
I love roasted potatoes and they really are my favorite side dish. Not only do I have them as a side dish but I eat them just on their own, as they are very filling. Since I like them so much I make roasted potatoes quite often, and I always look for new ways to make them. My favorite recipe is … [Read more...]
I had a mojito today. I was so hot I needed a cold mojito to chill me off. I don't think it worked. In fact it did the opposite. One thing I miss from living in Southern Ontario is a cold air conditioned house. People here in Calgary don't normally have air conditioners because you normally … [Read more...]
I could not resist anymore. I've been seeing these Hasselback potatoes everywhere. I mean everywhere. So I wanted to know what the fuss was all about. Apparently these potatoes originated in Sweden and the name comes from Hasselbacken, a restaurant in Stockholm where they were first … [Read more...]
So today was not a good day. My husband and I dropped the camera and broke the lens. The reason I say my husband and I is because we're both to blame here. He asked me for the camera, I gave it to him, and the belt got stuck in the corner of the desk and he dropped it. Yep! I was so sad, I've … [Read more...]
Summer is coming and the best part about it is that we can start grilling. One of my favorite things to grill is corn. I love corn any way you give it to me, but my favorite is grilled corn on the cob. But I have a confession to make. I'm not a big fan of putting butter on my corn. I just like … [Read more...]
I remember I used to hate spinach as a child. I used to hate lots of vegetables as a child but especially spinach. But at some point I grew to really like my mom's creamed spinach, probably after I watched Popeye. :) I'm not sure creamed spinach is a traditional Romanian dish, but I know my mom … [Read more...]
So it's almost the middle of April and while other places are enjoying wonderful warm spring weather, we are going through a snow storm. That's Calgary for you, yesterday was warm, beautiful and sunny and today it looks like Christmas outside. If you don't believe me, check out the picture I just … [Read more...]
Since I was a little girl, this version of roasted potatoes with garlic sauce has been my favorite and it was such a popular side dish, I think we had these potatoes every Sunday for dinner. Pair this with a roasted chicken and you've got an awesome dinner. Just the thought of these potatoes and … [Read more...]
Mashed Potatoes! One of the easiest side dishes you could probably ever make. It is also probably one of the first things I learned to make as a little girl helping my mom out in the kitchen. Although my mom's version is very simple, but tastes great nonetheless, I like to experiment with my … [Read more...]
I've had this cauliflower in the fridge for a week now, not knowing what to do with it. I like cauliflower a lot and I've recently made a great recipe with cauliflower, my cauliflower poppers which turned out great. However, I wanted something different this time so I decided to make this recipe … [Read more...]
It's a crazy week this week. I'm conducting training this week, something which I don't normally enjoy, being the introvert that I am, however I have to say this week I am enjoying it a bit. Something different than my normal day to day work activities. The part that I'm enjoying is chatting with … [Read more...]
