It’s difficult to reason with cats. They understand everything but they choose not to listen to you and be stubborn. I came home on Friday after work to my cat asking to go outside for an afternoon backyard stroll. I tried to explain to her that it was cold and windy and overall miserable, but…
Onion Soup
I’m standing in my kitchen in front of the cutting board and crying. It’s not one or two tiny tears slowly sliding down my cheek. No, my face is streaked with tears. Sobbing, I am looking at my husband. He’s staring at me with a blank expression on his face. Finally, after a few long seconds…
Light Vegetable Soup
And I am back after a much needed break! I spent a week doing absolutely nothing and enjoying every minute of it on a beautiful beach with white sand and clear blue water in Cuba. Seven days without Internet. Seven days without email. Seven days without Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. Seven days unplugged. Recharged……
Vegetarian Frittata
I’ve written about my love for breakfast and brunch before. When I think about brunches, it all goes back to a Holiday Brunch that I hosted for my girlfriends about 7 or 8 years ago. I don’t remember how I came up with an idea about doing a brunch instead of dinner, but there I…
Tomato Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
I found myself thinking about my grandparents a lot over the last few weeks. I guess it’s fitting since this week is three years since my grandma left and it’s been over five since I said goodbye to my grandpa. The memories are triggered by my garden. Every time I see a red jewel-coloured tomato,…
Vegetarian Cauliflower Fritters
These Cauliflower Fritters are an easy and light vegetarian side dish. They taste delicious with some greek yogurt and would be perfect with mixed greens or poached egg. I love cauliflower. I think it has a very beautiful and light flavour. My favourite way of eating it is just boiled until quite soft and then…
Easy Tomato Sauce
I have to confess – I don’t like tomato sauce. I don’t hate it, but if there’s a choice, I wouldn’t have it. I almost always choose cream or oil based sauces for pasta. I prefer non-tomato based soups. And even if there’s a choice between red or white pizza, I’ll usually choose white. Although,…
Quinoa Broccoli Cakes with Poached Egg
Do you love quinoa? I got onto this quinoa trend a couple of years ago. First time making it, I read the cooking directions on the package and cooked it with some chicken stock paste (this is one of my favourite products that Costco used to sell but does not anymore). Unfortunately I didn’t mix…
{Recipe} Roasted fennel with parmesan
I don’t like liquorice. I mean I really don’t like it. So, knowing that fennel has anise-like taste, I always avoided it. Well, that is until it was part of an antipasto platter at a tiny Italian restaurant. Everything looked so good: beautiful, glistening with oil, roasted peppers, sweet garlic, grilled to perfection eggplant and a…
Pan-Fried Eggplant and Tofu with Garlic Black Bean Sauce
I make eggplant with this sauce quite often. Sometimes I add chopped tomatoes or roughly chopped onions instead of tofu. Sometimes I add a few leaves of parsley or cilantro. A lot of times it’s just eggplant without anything extra. It’s still very tasty and flavourful. Usually I cook the eggplant in sauce which makes…
