Does anything say loving more than Chocolate Pudding!! You have lots of time to make this, you only need unsweetened cocoa, any type of nut milk (I used almond, but the original called for oat milk - either would work as well), and some dark chocolate. Garnish with anything you want, I happened to have [...]
Do you like salads? Typically for me, a salad is a filler so not a “go to” choice for me. I know – damn carnivore! But it is a new year and time to try and eat healthier, let’s see how long I can do this. This is inspired by Nik Sharma’s Curry Leaf Vinaigrette [...]
Here is a delightfully simple and delicious cauliflower dish. I don't know about you but I've eaten way too many sweets Christmas 2021, so let’s start 2022 off on the right foot. This recipe hits all the right spots. In every bite there is sweet from maple syrup, spice from some store bought curry powder [...]
No mixer required! That should draw your attention. Here’s one for the folks who are starting off and may not have a stand mixer to make some of the other treats in this blog. I love recipes like this – simple ingredients (always room for substitutions) that when combined make you go ahhhhhhh, it’s Christmas. [...]

Simple ingredients (and only 4 of them) you probably have in your pantry/fridge that when mixed together produce a super tasty glaze/marinade. And that's the key, always ensure your glaze is tasty. Remember, it will not magically become tasty by putting it on something [...]
Okay, you do not have to make it spicy if you don’t want to (oh my goodness, I can’t believe those words left my lips! I’ve been in isolation way too long)! Actually this was one of my dad’s favorite dishes. It has a balance of sour/sweet from the addition of vinegar and sugar to the [...]
Next time you go to a Caribbean restaurant (take out), if they have Steamed Cabbage as a side on the menu, order it – you won’t be disappointed. In trying to find more vegetable dishes to incorporate into our diet, I completely forgot about this one. It is one of my wife’s favorite dishes and [...]
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year! As I recall, we seemed to be shutting down last year at this time. So things are looking better, still need to stay focused and diligent about best practices though. While the celebrations this year (and I am so tired of saying this), will be very different [...]
In my morning scan of recipes (a while back), I came across this super interesting technique for making these delicious cookies. The flavoring for the cookies caught my eye, three of my favorite flavors - coffee, maple syrup and chocolate. But what really got me interested was the technique used to make the cookies. There [...]
For those of you who are regular followers of my blog, you know I’m a huge fan of Dorie Greenspan. I’ve always liked her recipes and I especially like the way they can be adapted – although they don’t ever need to be, to ingredients I happen to have on hand. This is inspired by [...]
