Saute! Saute! I think a spice of sorts would have been nice. This is so simple. Maybe some garlic would have been nice too. All I know is that I gobbled this up like there was no tomorrow. But, I’m sad to say that the once infamous Bird’s Eye Sweet Peas we used to get [...]
If that title didn’t entice you then nothing in this post will so you can just stop reading and go check your e-mail again. It was a cold night full of homework and rain. I walked up to my fridge and realised the mushrooms were just about to turn on me. So I souped them. [...]
And how did I learn? I was really hungry and the door to the fridge was broken, occasionally held closed with a waxy-from-too-many-little-kid-hands old shoestring. So we cooked. Level two of the plantain is the maduro stage, the ripe stage. It was pretty easy to peel these suckers. Ok so peel, cut thinly and saute. [...]
Mmm, but how can you resist the temptation frying brings? Quick, easy, delicious and I’ve made it a point to believe that a quick dunk in super hot olive oil can’t be all that bad–hell, I haven’t touched the butter in my fridge for weeks now. Hmm. Maybe that isn’t something to be proud of. [...]
The picture of this dish doesn’t do it much justice. I used a mixture of spices mixed by none other than mother dearest–http://everydayroz.blogspot.com–to pan roast the cauliflower, and put a bit in the rice as it was cooking. Not a bad lunch! The roasting really helped the flavors of the spices to come out, while [...]
I hadn’t used my oven until this fateful night. It was cold out and I had an episode of 3rd Rock From The Sun sitting all ready on my computer, waiting for a viewer and her food. I want to call this dish scalloped potatoes, but I actually used an egg amongst other ingredients–cheese being [...]
So I went to Lund’s and decided to conquer a, well, not a fear but a long held hesitation I’ve had towards a particular plant: fennel. Something about a vegetable tasting like licorice just seemed so unappealing. So, I took the leap and bought myself one of the pearly white bulbs. But what, I pondered [...]
So my first attempt at making yam fries went over really well (except for that lack of sour cream, sigh). Why cook them again so soon after? Because this time I wanted more yam, more flavor, more JOY to come out of them. So I cut the strips thicker. What a fun treat this was! [...]
One thing I’m learning about living in the same space that I cook my food in is that if you’re dealing with really hot pans and spurtage and oil is that the damn oil goes everywhere. And I mean, it travels through the air, as if it decided to break up into tiny little micro [...]
So, I usually have a pretty basic breakfast of oatmeal… with the occasional shot of milk. Oh and this week I added raisins! I’m going to be such a happy toothless old woman, I can’t wait!
But I digress. I got a bit bored with the oatmeal route and decided to actually cook something with flavor [...]
