Mr. CG and I cannot get enough curry. Any ethnicity, anytime. This week spring is really in the air here in Cowtown so I was feeling like a nice, light noodle bowl for dinner tonight. I dug out one of my favorite cookbooks and got to work. Referencing Meet the Coup Cooks Vegetarian Recipe cookbook, [...]
Whoever said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day has a spot in my heart forever. I love breakfast foods and can often be found eating scrambled eggs on a corn tortilla with veggies for lunch or dinner or downing a boiled egg doused in hot sauce as a snack. The common [...]
When Mr. CG tells me that he likes a healthy food that he has previously held disdain for, I immediately start to integrate said food into his diet. On our recent trip to Nicaragua we were served appetizers before each evening meal at El Coco Loco, and one night that appy was an incredibly delicious [...]
I must preface this post by saying I am yummily excited to have the knowledge to create corn tortillas at home! (disclaimer: yummily is a not a word found in the dictionary, but accurately pertains to how I feel about this recipe). When you have the ability to get this dough consistency right, the sky [...]
I am a salad girl. My mom never had to tell me to eat my veggies – I have always loved them! I never buy salad dressing, preferring to concoct my own from various ingredients in my fridge and pantry. Last summer, I went to the Rebar Modern Food Restaurant in Victoria, BC. My good friend [...]
The other day my hubby looked at me with a forlorn expression on his face and said “Babe, how come we never have any sweets in the house?” I guess I had been neglecting my wifely duties – no baked goods in the pantry! Needing a break from the office upstairs, I pulled out the [...]
Of this you can be sure: I am addicted to eggs. I wholeheartedly and unequivocally love them. I tried veganism a few years ago and just could not do it because a life with eggs in the diet is not worth living for me! My best friend in England taught me how to poach eggs [...]
It is no big surprise to those that know us that we love everything Mexican – the beaches, the language, the margaritas, and of course the FOOD! This past weekend we celebrated Mr. CG’s birthday with a handful of incredible friends here at our Casa. My hubby’s request was for a Mexican theme and I [...]
One of the reasons I like cooking is the creativity that goes into every dish. I believe that each recipe comes from the chef’s heart (and stomach, of course!). Some days I follow recipes exactly as they are written, and sometimes I take creative license and change a few or a lot of the ingredients [...]
Yes, it’s another recipe post. You know what that means? It is still FREEZING outside here. Tonight it’s me, the kitchen, and the love that went into these scrumptious muffins! It is always a challenge to find great wheat and dairy-free baking recipes that don’t make you feel like you could break a window with the [...]
