I wish I could say I was a more disciplined party-goer. You know, the ones who say 'No thanks, I've had my quota of two fried thingies already. I'll just drink water and eat carrot sticks now.' Instead, I'm the one who's helping to refill the chip bowl I just...
I can't even believe it's only 6 weeks until Christmas. Fall is slipping away - it's cold, dark at 5 PM thanks to daylight savings, and stores are in full holiday mode. I don't know about you, but my pale and pasty self is craving a little summer and sunshine. ...
As much as I love fall, with the changing leaves and fabulous fashion options, it's also flu and cold season for many. People at work seem to be dropping like flies, myself included. Times like this call for congee - a soupy savoury Chinese rice...
Classics. Perfect anytime, anywhere, and never go out of style. Here's a healthy update to the classic tuna salad sandwich. Bye bye mayo. Hello avocado. This version is full of protein and good fats, is heart healthy, and loaded with lots of flavour. I've named...

Kale's so hot right now. Right? Or are we over it? I mean it is kind of a winter green, but technically it's spring now. Kidding. Regardless of what's hot or not, or how unseasonably cold it still is outside (spring, where are you?!?), kale is tasty, full of...
This recipe is full of flavour thanks to the tasty blend of turmeric, hot mustard powder, and rice wine vinegar. I have my mother-in-law to thank for introducing me to this delicious dish. Her version involves pickling the onions, which really enhances the...
Most of my recipes are fast, accessible, and light. But every once in awhile, I like to enjoy a deeply rich meaty stick-to-your-ribs caveman type of meal. The kind of meal that has you leaning back in your chair in a satisfied adobo sauce-induced stupor. I used to...
