Ever get stuck with a big leftover tub of gochujang for that one time you used it to make soondooboo or jjigae or something? Yeah, that happens to me often so I was experimenting on adding gochujang to an American chili and…it worked! I absolutely loved the smoky-sweetness that the gochujang gave the chili - works really well with a couple extra dashes of liquid smoke! Probably my new favourite - cannot wait to make this again!
Read MoreIs this still a recipe if it’s for instant noodles? Eh, it’s my blog and I say yes it is! There is something that is just so satisfying about instant noodles but at the end of the day, it isn’t so healthy. Ditch the MSG-laden packet and replace it with a few ingredients that may be lingering in your fridge and pantry. This is much more satisfying than ripping open a package, right?
Read MoreThere’s something about the salty sweet crunch of potato chips in cookies. The saltiness it adds to an otherwise sweet cookie is enticingly addicting. Any compost cookies will have potato chips in it, but feel free to add in other mix-ins as I did here. Kitchen sink cookies or not, these were a complete hit and a great way to use up all those random ingredients in your pantry!
Read MoreThese fall days have got me craving soup 24/7. I was inspired by a trip to the Okanagan last month at a corn and halibut chowder I had at one of my favourite restaurants there, Waterfront Wines. The flavour was so rich yet light - a delicate balance which I find difficult to achieve when it comes to chowder. I believe I was able to achieve that with my corn and cod chowder. Recipe after the jump!
Read MoreWhen I say I’m a cookie fiend, I mean it. My friend Kevin from NYC requested that I make these cookies an although he hasn’t tried them (yet - I have some in my freezer for you!) I can say that these have made it on my list of Top 3 cookies of all time. I mean, look at the size of these things! Can you really blame me!?
Read MoreIn celebration of Cinco de Mayo, I decided to make my own chocolate diablo cookies. Fudgy and spicy, these cookies are sure to brighten up your day! Super easy to assemble, these cookies come together in no time. Feel free to adjust the heat if you like things a bit hotter!
Read MoreI made this recipe so long ago when I had a boyfriend (ha!). Honestly, being in a relationship helped re-ignite my love for cooking. This was one of the last meals I had created at his place and it was a huge hit. My cilantro pistou soba with garlic prawns is so flavourful and delicious that you might want this for breakfast, lunch and dinner... Stop salivating and read on!
Read MoreWhen was the last time you had southern food? Never? Well, I'd seriously give this recipe a go especially if you're a hot sauce lover! My southern Creole gumbo's got a good kick and is the perfect hearty soup for these chillier spring days.
