HAPPY 2018 EVERYONE! Remember the the shit storm known as 2017? Well, I’m pretty sure some of it trickled over into the new year. 2018 has been testing me. I was in Toronto for 3 weeks over the holidays and flew back to LA on the 4th. US customs was a nightmare and Air Canada… Continue reading Grain Bowls
Crab cakes and scallops and shrimp, oh my! Doesn’t that sound like a dream? Well, that dream came true for me and it can come true for you too! One of my best friends, Diana, had just come home from a trip to Prince Edward Island and sent me a pic of this delicious seafood… Continue reading Seafood Feast
Hello beautiful readers! If you read my last post, you’ll know that I’m kind of on a “cleanse”. If you didn’t, shame on you. I’m the food voice of my generation and you’re totally missing out 😉 I use the term “cleanse” lightly because what I’m on is barely a cleanse. Just cutting out wheat,… Continue reading Best Tofu Tacos
I hate the word cleanse. It makes me think of yoyo diets that make you lose 10 pounds in a week while being a miserable excuse for a human and then gaining it all back when you finally eat real food. I’ve done cleanses in the past. Cabbage soup diet, juice cleanses, that cayenne pepper… Continue reading The Good Cleanse
Oh hello there! I’ve rebranded myself a bit, as you may have noticed. I haven’t blogged in a while because I was getting too lazy to take fancy pics of my food and with all of the hoity-toity food blogs out there I thought, what’s the point? Who wants to “eat with Julia” when they… Continue reading Bargain Black Bean Soup
HELLO SWEET KITTENS! I haven’t done a blog post in a while because I was busy moving my entire life from Toronto to Los Angeles! I’ve been in LA for just under a month now and because of spending so much time focussing on my career, cooking has taken a back seat. The meals I… Continue reading EVERYDAY TACOS
FREAK A LEEK! SNEAK A LEEK! DO YOU SPEAK LEEK? I am very excited about leeks if you couldn’t already tell. I was at my local farmers’ market and saw some beautiful giant leeks. They weren’t so much giant as they were tall. With the long green leaf things these gents were about 4 feel… Continue reading Leek and Potato Soup
I was in St. Lawrence Market today, buying giant capers and other fun treats when walked by Seafront Fish Market and my eyes locked with some beautiful scallops, staring at me from beyond the glass. I had to have them. For some reason I equate scallops with special occasions because they tend to be on… Continue reading Seared Scallops in Chive, Lemon Butter
I’m melting. You’re melting. Will this heat never end? Unfortunately I can’t tell Mother Nature what to do, but I can help you make delicious soups that will cool you inside and out! I don’t know about you but hot soup on a hot day is very unappealing to me. So is heavy, greasy food.… Continue reading Cold Soup
